Hello. This is a programme from the BBC Learning English Archive. It was first broadcast广播 in March 2009 on the BBC Learning English website. We hope you enjoy it. This is 6-Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com. Hello. I'm Kate Collin and this is 6-Minute English. And thanks to Jackie Dalton for joining me today. Good morrow, Jackie. Pardon? Good morrow. I beseech thee. Wants to come as thou. I didn't expect you to understand that. What I said was the equivalent等价物 of saying "good morning". Where do you come from?
Using words which were in use a few hundred years ago and that we don't use any longer. Hello, Kate. Yes, English is a language which is evolving all the time. So this means that there are new words continuously appearing and older words are disappearing. I didn't understand the old English you started the programme with because you were using words which we no longer use in everyday speech.
