  • Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • I'm Fay Fei.

  • And I'm Roy.

  • What are you doing?

  • There are keys everywhere.

  • What is that noise?

  • Sorry, I was just cutting some keys.

  • It turns out that I've been doing my job wrong all these years.

  • Ah, I know what happened.

  • Neil called you to say you're not a key worker.

  • Right?

  • Exactly.

  • All this time at the BBC and I hadn't cut a single key.

  • I'm lucky Neil was so forgiving.

  • He had no idea what to say when I told him I'd start cutting keys.

  • I'm not surprised he didn't know what to say.

  • A key worker is someone who provides an essential service.

  • Like a doctor or nurse.
