Lyrics BBC Learning English - How to...Gossip

Neil: Hello, welcome to ‘How to…’ with me, Neil Edgeller. In this
programme we’ll take a look at how to gossip; that is how to talk about
other people’s private lives. Perhaps you’ve heard a rumour – an
interesting piece of news that may or may not be true – and you really
want to tell someone else.

Have you heard about Mike?
I’ve got the juiciest bit of gossip ever
Have you heard the latest gossip?
Neil: So how do you do it? How do you start that kind of conversation? Find
out how to gossip in this week’s How to…
Neil: The other night I met up with some old friends and colleagues from my
previous job. We started chatting about people we used to work with and
they had some very interesting news about some of our former
colleagues, Mike and Sue, who are both married… but to other people,
not to each other. Listen to what my friend Kate tells me. What’s the
news? Here’s a clue: she uses the word ‘snog’, which means a very long kiss.

Listen, don’t tell anyone else, ok, because if word gets out people will know it’s me
who told you, but the thing is, have you heard about Mike? Well, wait till I tell you,
you’ll never guess what I saw last week. I was just coming out of the building and they
were having a huge snog. Can you believe it?
