Rob: Yeah, yeah, it was fun, wasn't it, yeah...
2
12080

and when Neil fell over... I know!

00:16
Feifei: Excuse me, Rob.
4
16600
1640
00:18
Can we begin now?
5

00:19
Rob: Oh, right. Sorry - I'll
6
19300
2320
00:21
call you back. Bye.
7

2020
00:23
Feifei: Rob, you know the rules - no mobile
8
23640
2340
00:25
phones in the studio.
9
25980
2100
00:28
We can't have them ringing
10
28080
1260
00:29
when we're broadcasting.
11
29340
1280
00:30
Switch it off, please.
12
30620
1280
00:31
Rob: But... but I'm expecting
13
31900
1331
00:33
a very important call and...
14
33231
1849
00:35
Feifei: Tough!
15
35080
1000
00:36
Rob: OK. How can I check the latest
16
36080
4540
00:40
football scores now?
17
40620
1440
00:42
And ring my mum, and I wanted
18
42060
1920
00:43
to send a text to Dan and...
19
43980
1860
00:45
Feifei: Rob, are you OK? You're starting
20
45840
2980
00:48
to sweat. Oh no, I think
21
48840
2740
00:51
you've got NOMOPHOBIA!
22
51580
1620
00:53
Rob: Oh no! What's that? I know,
23
53200
2460
00:55
I'll look it up on my phone.
24
55660
1400
00:57
Feifei: No phones, Rob! But I can tell you
25
57069
3137
01:00
that nomophobia is the fear of not having
26
60206
3063
01:03
or not being able to use
27
63269
1473
01:04
your mobile phone! Let's hear some
28
64742
1518
01:06
examples of other
29
66260
1360
01:07
nomophobia sufferers...
30
67620
1960
01:12
My brother has definitely
31
72500
1780
01:14
got nomophobia - he never switches
32
74280
1977
01:16
his phone off, even when we're
33
76257
1743
01:18
at the cinema.
34
78000
1820
01:19
My phone is being fixed and I'm feeling
35
79820
2420
01:22
quite anxious - maybe
36
82240
2200
01:24
I've got nomophobia?!
37
84440
2280
01:26
Calling all nomophobes - it's time
38
86720
2920
01:29
to switch off your phones,
39
89640
1560
01:31
have a digital detox and
40
91200
2160
01:33
start talking to people rather
41
93360
2260
01:35
than staring at a small screen!
42
95620
2340
01:40
Feifei: You're listening to The English
43
100700
1480
01:42
We Speak from BBC Learning English,
44
102180
2336
01:44
and we're talking about
45
104520
1460
01:45
'nomophobia' - the fear of not having or
46
105980
2680
01:48
not being able to use your mobile
47
108660
2320
01:50
phone. Rob's got it right now.
48
110980
3020
01:54
Not long now, Rob, until you can
49
114000
1960
01:55
go outside and use your phone.
50
115960
2080
01:58
Rob: Phew! I've got to text Dan
51
118040
2260
02:00
and tell him a really funny joke,
52
120300
2140
02:02
plus add some amusing emojis...
53
122440
1900
02:04
Feifei: So, really urgent, then? You could
54
124340
2540
02:06
just go and talk to him - he's sitting right
55
126880
2800
02:09
over there.
56
129680
1200
02:10
Rob: I can't do that. I have
57
130890
1690
02:12
to use my phone - I do everything
58
132580
2027
02:14
on my phone these days.
59
134607
1412
02:16
I can't live without it. Can I switch on now?
60
136019
3231
02:19
Feifei: Oh go on, then.
61
139250
1290
02:20
We've almost finished.
62
140540
1640
02:22
Rob: Oh no! The battery is dead -
63
142180
2560
02:24
it needs charging.
64
144740
1320
02:26
Feifei: Oh dear, Rob. It looks like
65
146060
1600
02:27
you'll be suffering from nomophobia
66
147660
2120
02:29
for a bit longer.
67
149780
1120
02:30
Bye.
68
150900

Rob: Bye. Could I borrow yours, please?
