Hello
and
welcome
to
Six
Minute
Vocabulary
with
me
,
and
me
,
Catherine
.
And
today's
show
is
all
about
a.
order
A.
.
Yes
,
those
useful
words
we
use
to
describe
things
,
we'll
look
at
what
a.
.
Order
is
and
how
to
use
it
.
be
a
nice
,
easy
quiz
.
And
we'll
leave
you
with
a
small
but
meaningful
tip
for
learning
vocabulary
.
So
let's
start
off
with
and
Joe
,
who
are
talking
in
a
furniture
shop
.
Here's
a
question
to
think
about
while
you
listen
.
What
did
grandparents
have
on
?
What
did
Nikki's
grandparents
have
?
Let's
find
out
.
Joe
,
come
on
,
sit
on
this
sofa
.
It's
really
uncomfortable
.
I
know
,
but
I've
always
wanted
a
big
old
leather
sofa
.
My
grandparents
had
one
when
I
was
little
.
Well
,
that's
not
a
good
reason
to
buy
a
horrible
sofa
.
The
one
with
the
stripy
blue
cotton
cushions
looks
a
lot
nicer
maybe
.
Oh
,
what's
this
look
?
A
beautiful
green
and
blue
Turkish
.
Kill
him
.
Kill
him
.
Oh
,
a
little
carpet
first
.
So
that's
Jo
and
Nikki
,
and
we
asked
you
,
what
did
Nikki's
grandparents
have
and
the
answer
is
they
had
a
big
old
leather
sofa
.
That's
right
.
And
the
phrase
a
big
old
leather
sofa
is
our
first
example
of
a.
order
.
Now
,
when
we
use
two
or
more
adjectives
together
to
describe
a
noun
,
the
order
we
put
them
in
is
important
.
For
example
,
we
don't
usually
say
an
old
leather
big
sofa
.
So
for
our
sofa
example
,
first
it's
size
so
big
and
then
age
old
,
then
material
leather
,
a
big
old
leather
sofa
.
So
that's
size
,
age
and
material
type
.
And
each
new
adjective
in
the
list
needs
to
go
in
the
right
place
.
For
example
,
color
goes
between
age
and
material
type
so
we
can
say
a
big
old
red
leather
sofa
.
Now
some
people
find
it
difficult
to
remember
the
adjective
older
,
but
there's
a
good
tip
,
which
is
the
adjective
with
the
meaning
most
closely
related
to
the
noun
goes
nearest
to
it
.
And
in
our
example
,
the
material
type
leather
is
most
closely
connected
to
the
noun
.
Big
,
old
and
red
are
more
general
.
So
big
old
red
leather
sofa
.
Another
one
please
.
Then
blue
stripy
cotton
cushions
,
so
color
,
blue
quality
,
stripey
and
material
type
cotton
blue
stripy
cotton
cushions
.
And
got
very
excited
about
a
beautiful
green
and
blue
Turkish
kilim
did
see
.
I
can
understand
that
.
Yes
.
It's
such
a
beautiful
green
and
blue
Turkish
kilim
there
.
We
had
opinion
,
beautiful
and
then
colors
green
and
blue
.
We
had
two
colors
joined
by
and
and
then
country
Turkish
.
Oh
,
you're
listening
to
BBC
Learning
English
.
And
we're
talking
about
a.
order
,
and
you
might
have
noticed
that
we
used
some
adjectives
at
the
beginning
of
the
program
,
we
had
nice
,
easy
quiz
with
two
opinion
adjectives
.
Easy
has
a
closer
connection
to
the
noun
quiz
nice
.
So
we
put
easy
next
to
the
noun
a
nice
easy
with
a
nice
,
easy
quiz
and
another
one
,
a
small
but
meaningful
tip
we
can
put
but
between
adjectives
when
they
seem
a
bit
unusual
next
to
each
other
.
Like
small
but
meaningful
.
Yeah
,
strange
but
true
,
Catherine
.
Indeed
,
never
.
Nothing
strange
about
vocabulary
.
So
let's
hear
today's
examples
again
.
First
size
,
age
,
color
and
material
.
Big
old
red
leather
,
sofa
and
leather
has
the
strongest
connection
to
the
noun
.
Next
color
,
quality
and
material
,
blue
stripy
cotton
cushions
and
opinion
.
Color
and
country
.
Beautiful
green
and
blue
Turkish
kilim
.
Right
.
And
now
it's
quiz
time
.
Put
these
adjectives
in
the
right
order
.
Number
one
,
I
love
my
old
smelly
big
dog
,
right
?
I
love
my
big
old
smelly
dog
.
But
this
is
a
Moroccan
simple
but
delicious
recipe
.
This
is
a
simple
but
delicious
Moroccan
recipe
.
Very
good
.
And
that
brings
us
almost
to
the
end
of
the
program
.
But
before
we
go
,
here's
that
tip
we
promised
you
.
And
it's
a
game
this
time
.
Now
,
this
is
a
game
to
play
with
a
friend
,
to
practice
describing
things
.
Think
of
a
noun
,
but
don't
tell
your
friend
what
it
is
.
Then
give
a.
.
Clues
to
help
them
.
Guess
the
end
game
.
Yeah
.
You
want
to
play
.
Let's
give
it
a
go
.
