News Review from BBC Learning English.

Hello and welcome to News Review,

the programme where we give you the words and phrases you need to talk about the news.

Hello, I'm Neil and joining me today is Finn.

Hi there, Finn.

Hi, Neil.

What story have you got today?

Let me give you a little hint.

Today's story is about an English football team who have done very well, very unexpectedly.

OK, well let's hear more about that from this BBC World Service News bulletin.

Leicester City Football Club, whose entire squad cost less than a single player at some of its better-known rivals,

have won the English Premier League.

Leicester were 5,000 to 1 outsiders to win at the start of the season,

meaning bookmakers considered it more likely that Elvis Presley would be found alive.

So there we go.

The story's not about Elvis Presley,

it's about Leicester City Football Club.

They're a team who've never won the Premier League.

Last year they were almost relegated from the Premier League.

Their team cost very little in comparison to other teams in that division,

but they've won the league this year.

So it's a really popular and interesting result.

It's amazing, isn't it?

And Finn, you've been looking at this story across the media.

What are the words and phrases that are jumping out at you?

OK, here we go.

First one is fairy tale.

And then we've got two very similar expressions,

nuts and bonkers and finally a one-off.

OK, so a little definition here.

Fairy tale in this sense meaning unreal or incredible, unbelievable.

We have nuts or bonkers,

simply meaning crazy, uncontrolled, wild.

And then we have this expression a one-off which is used to describe something which will only happen once.

So, Finn, how are these words and expressions appearing appearing in the headlines?

OK, I've got a few headlines for you here.

Firstly, in the BBC Sport we have BBC Football Daily.

Leicester City's Premier League fairy tale comes true.

And a similar one, I'll take them together.

In The Telegraph, Leicester City are champions after fairy tale season,

achieving greatest sporting upset of all time.

So, fairy tale, here we go.

As Neil said, fairy tale in this sense describes something that's incredible or amazing.

Yeah.

But the original meaning of a fairy tale is something a little bit different, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's a story.

Cinderella.

Sleeping Beauty.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

These are fairy tales.

These are stories that are.. they're stories for kids with a strong moral message,

where good generally triumphs.

It defeats evil at the end.

We're not using it in quite the same way here, are we?

It's a story where Leicester City were not expected to win,

but you know what?

Everyone wanted them to win.

They did by the end,

even people who couldn't care less about Leicester City.

Apart from Spurs fans, who were their rivals perhaps.

But yes, people in general were very,

very excited about this and it has a fairytale ending

because it's seen as something with a very happy ending that everybody wanted.

And the right thing happened.

The right ending, exactly.

What's next?

So, next up we have two related expressions.

Firstly, in the Huffington Post,

Leicester City win the Premiership, team go absolutely nuts.

To go nuts.

Nuts, of course, you eat them.

Yep.

Not here.

Nuts here means crazy in the sense of being wild,

uncontrolled, out of control.

Yeah.

It can sometimes mean angry,

but it doesn't mean that here.

No. If you go nuts,

their team win the Premiership, they're very, very excited.

They're probably celebrating very wildly.

Uncontrolled joy.

Absolutely.

And another expression which means something very similar is bonkers.

So in the last headline we had the team going nuts,

this time in The Mirror,

which is a newspaper in the UK.

The city of Leicester goes utterly bonkers in support of Leicester City.

So this is the whole city going bonkers, going crazy, going nuts.

It's a good thing in this sense.

They are very excited, they're not controlling their emotions.

It's a very British expression.

It is, isn't it?

Bonkers.

So Neil, I've never seen you go completely bonkers during a programme, which is good.

I would tell you, if I was a Leicester City fan,

100

I would be going absolutely bonkers right now.

101

And that's it.

102

We often use it with the verb go. To go.

103

To go bonkers.

104

To go nuts.

105

To go crazy.

106

There we are.

107

Next we have a headline in The Independent.

108

Gary Lineker interview.

109

Gary Lineker is a famous English striker.

110

Used to play for Leicester.

111

Is from Leicester and used to play for Leicester and is a big Leicester fan.

112

Leicester's season is bonkers.

113

There's that bonkers again.

114

But we're focusing on the next expression.

115

It'll be a one-off, but who cares?

116

So this is this expression, one-off.

117

Something that happens only once,

118

or very, very, very rarely.

119

For example, Leicester City winning the Premier League.

120

Exactly.

121

So it's.. it's.. it's.. they might win it again,

122

but it will be a one-off that they win it like this.

123

Yeah.

124

As for the first time against everyone's expectations.

125

So how else might we hear this expression being used?

126

Sometimes, you know, old rock bands who've been around for a long time,

127

they go their separate ways and they come together again for a one-off.

128

Yeah, a one-off concert.

129

A one-off gig, a one-off concert.

130

Do you remember that band that we used to be in, Finn?

131

Well, we did have a bit of a BBC Learning English jam session, didn't we?

132

One time, maybe for the fans,

133

we could have a one-off reunion concert.

134

Neil, I think that's a wonderful idea.

135

Let's do it.

136

A one-off gig.

137

Just like Leicester City's win.

138

Well, on that note, and talking about one-offs,

139

let's listen to a report from the BBC's Dan Rowan.

140

Manager Claudio Ranieri showed just what was possible,

141

the likeable Italian maintaining composure and forging a skilful,

142

resolute team that confounded those who expected its challenge to fade.

143

But for all the talent,

144

timing was also key, this a season when the biggest clubs faltered.

145

Leicester City took full advantage,

146

and sport will now wait to see whether the club's very first title was a one-off

147

or a sign that the modern game isn't quite as predictable as previously thought.

148

The BBC's Dan Rowan there, using that expression, one-off.

149

Now it's time for our Facebook challenge,

150

and we thought that this week we'd do something connected to the pronunciation of place names in England.

151

Now, Leicester is one of those names that's difficult to know how to say because its spelling and pronunciation are very different.

152

It's spelt L-E-I-C-E-S-T-E-R but pronounced Lester.

153

Lester, yep.

154

Which doesn't look like it should be.

155

You don't think so, would you?

156

Another one is Worcester, famous sauce,

157

Worcestersauce, spelt very differently to how it sounds.

158

Now, here's a challenge for our Facebook followers.

159

We wanted to know how they think,

160

or you think, this place name,

161

which looks like it should be pronounced God-Manchester.

162

How is it actually pronounced?

163

So there's a name of a place,

164

it looks like God-Manchester, but how is it pronounced?

165

Is it A.

166

God-Manchester, B.

167

God-chester, or C.

168

Gum-ster?

169

Neil, I like this question.

170

We had a great response on Facebook as always,

171

and I think there's a clue in your question.

172

It's probably not A.

173

But we had a couple of people who said A.

174

Chali Mala, I guess A.

175

God Manchester, sadly, not right.

176

B was Godchester.

177

Himani Sharma said B.

178

Godchester.

179

Not right, though, is it?

180

Sadly, not right either.

181

But a few people got it right.

182

Nasreen Ahmad said the correct answer is gumster, which it indeed is.

183

Did you know this before Neil?

184

I know this because I had to read that name out on the radio once and I got it wrong.

185

Oh no!

186

So you'll never forget.

187

So yes, people listening to us,

188

don't worry if you find it difficult to know the pronunciation of English place names because sometimes they're just completely bonkers.

189

Well, I think whatever happens,

190

many more people will know how to say Lester after this story around the world.

191

Finn, can you just give us a quick summary of the language we've looked at in this programme?

192

OK, so our first one was fairy tale,

193

which means unreal or incredible when it's used as an adjective.

194

Then we had nuts and bonkers.

195

They kind of go together.

196

They both mean crazy or wild or uncontrolled.

197

And finally, a one-off, which is something that happens only once.

198

Well, thank you for joining us.

199

Just time now to say goodbye.

202

Goodbye.

203

Bye.
