The English we speak from bbclearningenglish.com hello, Rob.
You look so busy.
What are all these papers?
Oh, Fei Fei.
I have to get a permit to build an extension to my house.
It's a very small bit of building work, but.
But I have to fill in all these forms.
What's this one for?
Well, this one here is for my local council.
I need to apply for planning permission,
and then they want lots of supporting documents to make sure it fits in with building regulations.
Oh, it sounds exhausting.
It is.
I hate red tape.
If I could cut through this red tape, it would be brilliant.
So your problem is red tape?
Say no more, Rob.
The solution is in my bag.
