a
very
interesting

.

But
before
all
that
,
we're
going
to
hear
from
Dave
.
He's
just
got
back
from
lunch
,
but
he
isn't
happy
.
Now
a
question
to
think
about
while
you
listen
.
What
was
the
problem
with
Dave's
food
and
what
was
the
problem
with
Dave's
food
?
Let's
find
out
.
I
just
tried
the
new
seafood
restaurant
,
and
I
wish
I
hadn't
,
it
was
intolerable
to
start
with
,
my
seat
was
really
uncomfortable
.
I
had
no
room
to
move
and
the
menu
was
very
misleading
.
The
photos
look
nothing
like
the
actual
food
.
When
my
food
came
,
it
was
uncooked
.
I
told
the
waiter
,
but
he
disagreed
.
He
said
it
was
fine
.
He
said
he'd
eat
it
himself
.
And
I
looked
in
the
kitchen
.
It
was
really
unhygienic
.
There
was
food
all
over
the
floor
.
It
was
a
disgrace
.
So
Dave's
pretty
unhappy
.
And
what
was
wrong
with
his
food
?
Well
,
he
said
that
it
was
uncooked
,
it
was
cold
and
raw
because
it
hadn't
been
cooked
.
Not
very
nice
.
Well
done
if
you
got
that
right
at
home
.
Now
,
Uncooked
is
an
example
of
the
vocabulary
area
we're
looking
at
today
.
Prefixes
.
Yes
.
Prefixes
or
as
some
people
say
,
prefixes
,
prefixes
,
prefixes
.
A
prefix
is
a
small
part
of
a
word
,
usually
just
a
couple
of
letters
that
we
put
at
the
front
of
a
base
word
to
change
its
meaning
.
For
example
,
the
prefix
un
spelt
U
n
is
added
to
happy
to
make
unhappy
,
which
means
not
happy
.
And
Dave
was
unhappy
about
the
restaurant
.
And
yes
,
he
said
the
seats
were
uncomfortable
,
meaning
not
comfortable
,
and
the
kitchen
was
unhygienic
,
meaning
unclean
,
not
clean
.
Yeah
,
that's
un
meaning
not
.
And
all
today's
prefixes
have
the
meaning
of
not
.
So
Dave
said
the
meal
was
intolerable
.
Intolerable
in
spelt
I
n
is
another
prefix
that
can
mean
not
and
poor
Dave
couldn't
tolerate
the
meal
.
No
.
Now
let's
listen
to
a
bit
more
of
Dave
.
I
told
the
waiter
but
he
disagreed
.
He
said
it
was
fine
.
The
waiter
disagreed
with
him
about
the
food
.
The
prefix
dis
spelt
the
means
not
or
to
do
the
opposite
.
Like
disagree
to
not
agree
.
Yes
.
And
Dave
said
it
was
a
disgrace
.
They
should
be
ashamed
of
it
.
Let's
hear
today's
prefixes
again
.
Okay
,
so
the
first
one
was
an
unhappy
,
uncooked
,
unhygienic
,
unclean
in
intolerable
,
inexpensive
.
This
disagree
disgrace
,
listening
to
BBC
Learning
English
dotcom
,
and
it's
time
for
a
quiz
,
try
to
work
out
the
word
that
finishes
the
sentence
ready
.
Number
one
,
the
advert
said
that
the
phone
was
five
pounds
a
month
,
but
it
didn't
say
anything
about
the
50
pound
set
up
fee
.
It
was
very
A
,
unhappy
in
expensive
or
C
,
misleading
.
The
advert
made
people
believe
something
that
isn't
true
,
so
it
was
very
misleading
.
Now
,
number
two
,
this
letter
has
come
to
the
wrong
house
.
There's
been
a
mistake
,
B
,
disgrace
or
C
,
disagreement
.
It's
not
correct
,
so
a
mistake
.
Yep
,
well
done
if
you
got
those
right
.
And
that
brings
us
almost
to
the
end
of
today's
program
.
Before
we
go
,
here's
a
top
tip
for
learning
vocabulary
.
If
you
look
up
some
of
today's
words
in
a
dictionary
,
you'll
find
lots
more
words
,
starting
with
the
same
prefixes
.
Many
of
them
may
be
words
that
you
already
knew
without
the
prefix
.
So
when
you
add
a
prefix
,
you
get
two
words
for
the
price
of
one
.
That's
brilliant
.
Sounds
like
a
good
way
to
quickly
double
your
vocabulary
.
Very
good
,
isn't
it
?

Whether
it's
your
first
step
on
the
property
ladder
or
your
first
place
with
stairs
from
new
bills
to
rebuild
a
new
home
is
one
of
life's
biggest
moments
.
And
we
all
know
life
doesn't
always
go
to
plan
.
That's
why
I
