Rob
Hello I’m Rob and this is 6 Minute English – a programme that brings you an interesting topic, authentic listening practice and some vocabulary to help you improve your language skills. Joining me today is Neil.
Neil
Hello. And today we’re discussing those pilotless aircraft that we seem to be hearing and reading a lot about at the moment.
Rob
You mean drones. And yes, they are in the news quite often for good and bad reasons. They’ve been used for many things from smuggling drugs, detecting water leaks and surveillance.
Neil
And surveillance – that means ‘the act of carefully watching someone or something’ – perhaps a criminal – but also it means spying, maybe on me and you Rob? So should we be welcoming the rise of the use of drones?
Rob
Well, before our discussion about that ‘takes off’, we need to set today’s question for you to answer, Neil.
Neil
What are you droning onabout Rob? And by that I don’t mean ‘flying a drone’ – I mean ‘talking too much in a very boring way’!
Rob
Thanks Neil. Now just answer this, will you? Drones are sometimes also referred to as UAVs. So, what does UAV stand for? Is it…
a) Unidentified aerial vehicleb) Unmanned aerial vehiclec) Unaided aircraft vehicle
Neil
Well, I’m going to go for b) unmanned aerial vehicle.
Rob
Ok well, we’ll see if you’re right later on. Now let’s talk more about drones, which, apparently, seem to be everywhere now.
Neil
But are they safe and are they necessary? I’ve heard about them being a hazard to aircraft because they’ve been flown close to airports.
Rob
Well, figures in 2016 showed that in the UK there were 70 near misses involving drones. And that’s more than double the year before. So that is a little worrying.
Neil
Yes. And there’s the potential risk of people’s privacy being invaded when a drone is flown over their property with a camera attached to it.
Rob
Ah, but those cameras are also good at capturing some great aerial footage– that’s the film recording of the view from the above the ground. So they’re not all bad. And Dr Yoge Patel would agree. She is CEO of Blue Bear, which supplies unmanned planes and drones. Here she is speaking about drones on the BBC’s Woman’s Hour programme…
Dr Yoge Patel, CEO of Blue Bear
They have the potential to be dangerous, agreed. They also have though, on the flip side, the ability to be a game changerin both domestic use and in military use. So, some of our drones are being used for aircraft inspections. We’ve put our drones into Fukushima.
