Improve your English vocabulary and speaking with 6 Minute English from the BBC.
For a while now, the expression ’man flu’ has been controversial. Many men say it’s real, while many women say they are just being weak. But why is it that men seem to suffer, or complain, more when they get sick than women do? A recent study may have the answer. Can science prove that men really do suffer more, or do they just moan instead of getting on with it? Dan and Neil teach six items of English vocabulary and discuss the issue.
