  • The English We Speak from BBC Learning English.

  • Hello, I'm Feifei and welcome to the English We Speak.

  • And hello, I'm Rob.

  • You're looking pleased with yourself, Rob.

  • Oh, I am.

  • I've just booked these dirt cheap, I mean, really cheap flights to Ibiza.

  • Wonderful.

  • Look at the price.

  • £20 return.

  • That means extra money to spend on food, drink and partying.

  • Oh, let's have a look.

  • Hold on.

  • The basic price is 20 pounds, but look at the tax you have to pay on top.

  • £100.

  • Let me see.

  • You're right.

  • I hate paying tax.

  • I guess you could say it's a necessary evil.
