Hello
,
I'm
Catherine
,
and
this
is
Rob
.
Yes
,
hello
and
welcome
to
Six
Minute
Vocabulary
.
Today
,
we're
talking
about
adjectives
that
end
in
pronounced
and
adjectives
,
the
end
pronounced
.
First
,
let's
listen
to
Hannah
.
She's
talking
about
her
favorite
books
.
Our
question
today
is
why
does
Hannah
get
most
of
her
books
from
the
library
?
Listen
carefully
and
find
out
.
I'm
always
reading
.
I
like
classic
English
novels
by
writers
like
Jane
Austen
or
Charles
Dickens
.
I
also
like
nonfiction
,
especially
books
about
interesting
historical
characters
.
I
love
buying
books
,
but
it's
so
expensive
.
Mostly
I
borrow
books
from
the
library
.
It's
much
more
economical
.
So
why
does
Hannah
prefer
to
get
her
books
from
the
library
?
Because
it's
more
economical
.
Hannah
mentioned
that
she
likes
to
read
novels
.
Do
you
remember
what
type
of
novels
she
likes
to
read
?
Listen
,
once
again
,
I
like
classic
English
novels
by
writers
like
Jane
Austen
or
Charles
Dickens
.
Hannah
said
she
likes
to
read
classic
novels
and
the
word
classic
ends
.
And
I
see
it's
an
adjective
that
describes
something
that's
a
particularly
good
example
of
a
category
or
a
particularly
famous
example
.
So
novels
by
Jane
Austen
and
Charles
Dickens
are
classic
because
they're
particularly
good
and
very
famous
examples
of
novels
,
and
they've
been
popular
for
a
long
time
.
So
we
could
say
they've
stood
the
test
of
time
exactly
a
bit
like
you
wrote
.
Thank
you
.
You're
welcome
.
But
be
careful
because
people
often
confuse
classic
with
another
adjective
,
classical
,
now
classical
.
And
again
,
I
see
a
has
a
slightly
different
meaning
.
It
describes
a
formal
and
often
quite
old
style
of
art
in
forms
such
as
painting
,
theatre
,
architecture
and
so
on
.
Question
for
you
,
Rob
,
do
you
like
classical
music
?
Oh
,
occasionally
.
But
I
do
find
it
a
bit
heavy
going
a
bit
much
as
it
sometimes
seems
more
of
a
Beyoncé
.
Yes
,
that's
me
.
Okay
,
so
let's
listen
again
to
another
clip
.
I
also
like
non-fiction
,
especially
books
about
interesting
historical
characters
.
Historical
is
another
.
I
see
L.A.
and
it
means
connected
to
stories
about
the
past
.
So
Rob
,
a
historical
character
that
you
particularly
identify
with
as
a
hard
one
.
But
I'd
say
Captain
Cook
,
he
to
travel
and
he
went
around
the
world
discovering
new
places
,
which
is
something
I
like
to
do
.
You
do
identify
with
him
?
Yes
.
Okay
,
well
,
moving
on
now
,
the
I
see
a.
.
Historic
has
a
slightly
different
meaning
.
It
describes
something
important
or
something
that
people
will
remember
for
a
long
time
.
So
if
something
really
important
and
amazing
happens
today
,
we'll
say
today
is
a
historic
day
like
the
day
Newcastle
United
wins
the
European
Cup
.
Rob
?
Okay
.
In
your
dreams
,
I
think
well
,
maybe
.
But
if
it
ever
happened
,
it
would
be
a
historic
day
.
Yeah
.
Now
,
a
quick
pronunciation
tip
for
you
.
We
pronounce
historic
and
historical
with
the
stress
on
the
same
syllable
,
in
both
words
,
the
talk
.
And
it's
the
same
with
classic
and
classical
.
In
both
words
.
The
stress
is
on
the
same
syllable
this
time
.
So
historic
.
Historical
,
classic
.
Classical
.
Yeah
.
Now
listen
again
to
one
more
clip
.
Mostly
,
I
borrow
books
from
the
library
.
It's
much
more
economical
,
so
we
use
the
adjective
economical
or
as
some
people
say
,
economical
with
I
see
a
L
when
something
is
cheap
or
good
value
for
money
.
But
the
adjective
economic
with
has
a
different
meaning
.
Economic
means
connected
to
the
subject
of
money
and
finance
.
So
we
might
say
the
bus
is
more
economical
than
the
train
and
we
would
say
the
country
has
economic
problems
,
listening
to
BBC
,
learning
English
dotcom
and
we're
talking
about
adjectives
that
end
in
and
echo
like
economic
and
economical
.
And
now
it's
time
for
a
little
quiz
.
Listen
to
this
then
answer
question
one
.
Question
one
,
was
that
an
example
of
classic
music
or
was
it
classical
music
,
it
was
classical
music
.
Not
too
much
for
Europe
.
enough
.
Just
enough
.
OK
,
question
two
,
if
you
watch
a
film
about
the
past
,
is
it
a
historic
film
or
a
historical
film
?
It's
a
historical
film
.
Last
question
.
If
you
read
the
news
about
business
and
the
financial
markets
,
are
you
reading
the
economic
news
or
the
economical
news
?
And
that's
the
economic
news
and
that's
the
end
of
the
quiz
world
.
Yes
,
well
done
.
Finally
,
here's
a
piece
of
vocabulary
.
Learning
advice
,
learning
vocabulary
alone
is
OK
,
but
it's
often
more
effective
to
work
together
with
a
study
partner
,
find
someone
who's
learning
English
,
get
together
regularly
and
give
each
other
vocabulary
tests
.
