This is 6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Hello, I'm Rob.
2
Welcome to 6 Minute English.
3
I'm joined today by Neil.
4
Hello, Neil.
5
Hello, Rob.
6
Now, Neil, I have a question for you.
7
Do you think you're a winner?
8
Err, you mean someone who has a lot of success in everything?
9
Well, not exactly.
10
I'm just talking about competitions.
11
Do you have a lot of success or luck in winning them?
12
Err, competitions?
13
No, not at all.
14
Oh, I don't think I've ever won a competition.
15
Ah, bad luck.
16
That means you're not a compa.
17
That's an informal name for someone who takes part in, or enters, competitions on an almost semi-professional basis.
18
They spend a lot of time trying to win something.
19
You mean winning prizes or free gifts?
20
I do.
21
And Neil, you could win a prize if you can correctly answer today's question.
22
So are you ready?
23
I'm ready.
24
OK, well, a lottery is one kind of competition where the prize is money.
25
The biggest cash prizes can be won in the USA.
26
But do you know what the biggest ever cash prize to be paid in America is?
27
Is it a $590 million, b $890 million, or c $1 billion?
28
Well, things tend to be big in America, so I'm going to go for c $1 billion.
29
Hmm, I'd like to win that.
30
We'll find out if you're right or wrong later on.
31
So let's talk more about compers, people who regularly take part in competitions.
32
We could say they're hooked on, meaning addicted, to taking part.
33
Yes, the lure or attractiveness of winning big prizes means these people just can't stop answering quiz questions,
34
writing slogans and captions or solving puzzles.
35
Some people go to great lengths or put a lot of effort into winning something, even if it's just a box of chocolates or a coffee mug.
36
It's just the excitement of winning.
37
But sometimes there are big prizes to win – a new car, a speedboat or a holiday of a lifetime.
38
The only problem is that these prizes are either not easy to win
39
or there are millions of people trying to win them.
40
I've certainly never won anything as fantastic as that.
41
But one man who's had plenty of good luck is Martin Dove, who is a retired lecturer and an expert comper.
42
He certainly is.
43
He's won a yacht, a racehorse, and lots of smaller prizes too.
44
Let's hear from him now.
45
Listen out for the names he says people have called him.
46
I've been a comper for 40 years.
47
It's like I've admitted to some addiction, isn't it, really?
48
Some people have called me the master of comping, the king of comping, the guru of comping, but it's just a word, it's just a phrase.
49
It was just...
50
I was fairly high profile.
51
So, he says he was fairly high profile.
52
That means he was often seen in public, mentioned in newspapers, or appeared on television.
53
And because he was high profile, he got called a few nicknames.
54
Names like the Master of Comping – so someone who's very good or skilled at it.
55
And the King of Comping – not an actual royal king, but someone who is the best at doing something.
56
And the Guru of Comping – that's someone who other people respect and go to for advice about comping.
57
Well, he knows his stuff and he still checks out competitions on cereal boxes and crisp packets for the next big win.
58
He's even written books on the subject and offered advice to other compers.
59
But comping has changed, Rob.
60
There are lots of competitions to enter on the internet now.
61
Every web page you look at seems to tempt us with a fantastic prize to be won.
62
Yeah, that's true.
63
But Martin Dove doesn't think that is necessarily a good thing.
64
Can you hear why?
65
The thing is now, competitions are far easier to enter than they ever were.
66
The only I could spend a fortnight crafting a slogan and really working hard and really being proud of it.
67
Now all you have to do is click, click, click, click, click.
68
And because they only take 30 seconds to do, 20 minutes, you can knock out 40 competitions.
69
And you could get a million entries now, so it's a million to one.
70
So competitions online are easier to enter – you just have to click.
71
Martin said he could enter about 40 competitions in just 20 minutes.
72
Ah, but because it's so easy, more people enter and so the odds, or chances of winning are less.
73
Sometimes a one in a million chance of winning, a very rare or unlikely chance.
74
I wonder what your chances are of getting today's question right, Neil?
75
One in three, maybe.
76
Maybe.
77
Well, earlier I asked you what is the biggest ever cash prize to be paid out in a lottery in the USA?
78
Is it a $590 million, b $890 million, or c $1 billion?
79
I said it was c $1 billion.
80
And you are wrong.
81
It's actually only $590 million, OK?
82
That was won by an 84-year-old woman in Florida last year.
83
So, Neil, what's the biggest prize you've ever won?
84
Err...
85
I think I once, about ten years ago, won £10 on the British National Lottery.
86
Wow, that's a big win.
87
OK, well, for getting today's question wrong, you get the consolation prize of reminding us of some of the words that we've heard today.
88
OK, we heard...
89
luck compa prizes lottery hooked on the lure
90
slogans high profile master guru the odds one in a million
91
OK, thanks Neil, you really are a winner there.
92
OK, well, we hope you've enjoyed today's programme.
93
Please join us again soon for Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
94
Bye.

Vídeo recomendado

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

O vídeo "Bài 4 - Người Chuyên Săn Thưởng" é uma excelente ferramenta para a prática de conversação em inglês, especialmente para quem quer melhorar a fluência e a compreensão de contextos cotidianos. A conversa entre Rob e Neil é informal, repleta de expressões usadas no dia a dia, o que a torna perfeita para o shadowing em inglês (técnica de repetir frases imitando a pronúncia e a entonação). Ao praticar com esse diálogo, você aprende a lidar com perguntas, respostas espontâneas e até termos específicos, como "comper" (pessoa que participa de concursos de forma semi-profissional). Essa variedade de contextos ajuda a se sentir mais confiante em situações reais.

Gramática e expressões no contexto

Analisando o vídeo, destacamos três expressões chave para a sua prática:

  • "Hooked on": Significa "viciado em" e é usado para descrever uma paixão intensa. Exemplo no vídeo: "they're hooked on taking part" (eles estão viciados em participar). Essa expressão é informal e muito usada no inglês cotidiano.
  • "Go to great lengths": Traduz-se como "se esforçar muito" ou "fazer de tudo". No diálogo: "Some people go to great lengths to win something" (algumas pessoas se esforçam muito para ganhar algo). É uma estrutura útil para falar sobre esforços extraordinários.
  • "Fairly high profile": Significa "bastante conhecido" ou "com muita visibilidade". Martin Dove usa: "I was fairly high profile" (eu era bastante conhecido). Essa expressão é perfeita para descrever a reputação de alguém.

Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia

No vídeo, algumas palavras podem ser desafiadoras para o aprendizado. Veja como evitá-las:

  • "Comper": A pronúncia correta é /ˈkɒmpə(r)/ (semelhante a "kómpər"). Muitos aprendizes confundem com "comer" (eat), mas a entonação e a final "er" são diferentes. Use o shadow speech para imitar a pronúncia do Rob.
  • "Lure": Pronunciada /lʊə(r)/ (como "lúər"), significa "atrativo". Cuidado com o som "u", que não é o mesmo que em "lure" (inglês americano). Escute repetidamente a fala de Neil para capturar a entonação.
  • "Yacht": A palavra mais "enganosa"! Sua pronúncia é /jɒt/ (semelhante a "iót"), apesar da escrita. Pratique o shadowspeak para não cair no erro de ler letra por letra.

Com essas dicas, o vídeo se torna uma ferramenta poderosa para aprender inglês com YouTube, combinando gramática, expressões e pronúncia de forma prática e eficaz.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
