6MINGING ENGLISH From bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Alice.
And I'm Neil.
Did you have a good weekend, Alice?
Yes, but it flew by, which means it went quickly.
And here we are again back at work.
I know what you mean.
Though I must say time really dragged for me,
and that means it went slowly.
I was on a train which broke down.
Oh dear.
And it felt like it took forever to arrive,
though actually it was only delayed by one hour.
Well, today we are talking about our perception of,
or the way we see, time.
It's true that when we're busy doing lots of things,
time flies by.
And when we're bored, we'll have nothing to do.
