Whether you're an ESL (English as Second Language) speaker or just want to test your understanding of various dialects and accents, you'll find this page a fun exercise in English comprehension. We invite you to listen to the following samples from around the world, transcribe (write down or type in English in a document of your own) the speech you hear, and then compare that to the full transcription by clicking the link underneath each audio clip. By clicking the link under the clip, you'll be taken to the sample, where you can see the transcription, listen to the full audio clip of that subject, and find out more about the person. (To find the transcription, simply scroll about a third of the way down each page to the "orthographic transcription of unscripted speech." And for a similar, fun exercise, see our Test Your Ear page. If you plan to peruse both pages, we suggest you try out the Test Your Ear page first, as this page uses the same audio clips, just in a different order. And unlike the Test Your Ear page, which challenges you to identify the accent/dialect, this page clearly labels each sample by the subject's country and/or state.)

Transcript
Note: This is not a word-for-word transcript
Sam Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Sam.

Rob
If you mean am I someone who enjoys wine and knows a lot about it, then no - although the 'enjoy' part is true - particularly a nice glass of red.

Sam
Of course, wine might not be everybody's cup of tea - not something they like - but wine has been an important part of history and language.

Rob
And even if you don't drink alcohol, wine can be used as a commodity you can invest in and sell at an auction.

Sam
And that brings me on to my quiz question, Rob. In 2018, a bottle of wine dating back to 1774 sold at auction in eastern France for a record-breaking price. Do you know how much it was sold for? Was it...

a) $20,800
b) $120,800, or
c) $220,800?

Rob
I know wine can fetch a high price - but not as high as some of those options, so I'll say a) $20,800.

Sam
I'll reveal the answer later on. But let's talk more about wine now. A glass of the stuff can be sipped and savoured or just glugged.

Sam
If you go to a restaurant, there might be a sommelier - a person whose job is to serve and give advice about wine. They may have had years of training to learn about the different types of wine and the individual flavours or aromas, known as notes.

Rob
This job has fascinated journalist and author Bianca Bosker. She wrote a book called 'Cork Dorks'.

Sam
And here she is talking on the BBC World Service programme The Why Factor describing her fascination with sommeliers...

Bianca Bosker, writer and author
These were people who had taken wine, which I always thought of as a thing of pleasure, something you turn to after a long stressful day, and turned it into something approaching sheer God-awful pain. They licked rocks, trained their palates, they divorced their spouses to spend more time reviewing flash cards - they had hired voice coaches and memory coaches, they took dance classes to learn how to move more gracefully across the dining room floor.

The word sheer is used to emphasise the amount of something - or to mean 'nothing but'. She thought the work of a sommelier was nothing but pain - they seemed to dedicate their life to wine!

One thing a sommelier does is train their palate - this is their ability to distinguish and appreciate different tastes - and identify types of good wine from their taste. I guess this is quite important.

Sam
WeIl, Rob, cheap wine doesn't always have to be poor quality. Interestingly, there is some evidence that shows we only think wine tastes better because it's more expensive.

Rob
Ah yes, this is research Hilke Plassmann from INSEAD Business School in France spoke about on the BBC World Service's Why Factor programme. She's been looking into what influences consumer behaviour...

So, our brain is possibly playing tricks on us. When we see the price tag on a bottle of wine, our brain encodes the information and tells us how it should taste. Encodes means changes the information into something that we can use or understand. Drinking more expensive wine makes you think it tastes better. So perhaps, when buying supermarket wine or wine in a restaurant, it may be better telling yourself that the cheaper option is OK!

Rob
I'll drink to that! But I wonder how that most expensive bottle of wine ever sold at auction tastes? The one dating back to 1774 that you asked me about.

A palate describes someone's ability to distinguish and appreciate different tastes.

Rob
Thanks for listening and goodbye.

Sam
Goodbye.

Contrast

However

However means 'but'.

However is normally used at the beginning of a sentence, before a comma (,) and after a full stop (.) or a semicolon (;).

Although

Although means 'despite the fact that', or 'but'.

Although can be used at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. We do NOT use a comma after although; we use although + subject + verb.

Reason

Because

We use because + subject + verb.

Because of

We use because of + noun.

Result

So

So is the most common connector to express result. It is normally used in the middle of a sentence after (,).

Time

Before

We can use before + noun / -ing verb, or we can use before + subject + verb.

After

We use can use after + noun / -ing verb, or we can use after + subject + verb.

When we are talking about consecutive actions, we can use then of after that, but we cannot use *after.

I got up and had a shower. Then/After that, I made breakfast. (NOT After, I made breakfast).

While

We use while + subject + verb to talk about actions happening at the same time, simultaneously.

As soon as, when, once

As soon as, when, and once have a similar meaning. As soon as means 'immediately when'.

We use the present simple, and NOT will, to express future after as soon as, when, and once.

We use a comma after the first part of the sentence when we start with before, after, while, as soon as, etc. But we do not use a comma if we use before, after, while, as soon as, etc in the second part of the sentence.
