6 Minute English / Should we pay more for chocolate?

Note: This is not a word-for-word transcript.

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Neil.

And I'm Becca. How many of our listeners, Neil, do you think love chocolate?

Well, I can't think of anyone who doesn't love chocolate. I know, I certainly do.

Yes, I thought you might say that, having seen your mid-morning snack most days!

That's true. I do love a bit of dark chocolate. Do you know, I really like the one that's got some chilli in it. What's your favourite, Becca?

Oh, I also love dark chocolate, but chilli is a bit spicy for me. I like it with sea salt.

Hmm, that's also good. But now to the stuff that makes chocolate possible - cocoa - a key ingredient and it's become more expensive in recent years.

Now, a new EU law could make chocolate even more expensive. Today, we'll talk about how this law could change things for farmers, companies and chocolate lovers, as discussed on the recent BBC World Service programme Business Daily.

As always, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases and you'll find all the vocabulary along with a transcript on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
