Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I’m Neil. 
Sam 
And I’m Sam. 
Neil
We often hear phrases such as, ‘dream big’ or, ‘reach for the stars’ which reflect 
an optimistic view of life. Are you an optimist, Sam? 
Sam 
I hope so! I try to see the positive side of life, even when something bad happens.
Neil
It sounds like you’re a 
glass-half-full person
– someone who always thinks that 
good things will happen. 
Sam 
How about you, Neil? Are you optimistic? 
Neil
Look, things go wrong all the time - that’s a fact of life. Call me a pessimist if you 
like but I’m just being realistic. 
Sam 
Hmm, it sounds like Neil is more of a glass-half-empty person, but the truth is 
that the age-old debate between optimism and pessimism is more complex than 
we think. 
Neil
Yes, whether you’re a sunny optimist or a gloomy pessimist may be determined 
more by your birthplace and your age than your attitude, as we’ll be finding out 
in this programme.

Sam 
Great. I’ve got a good feeling about this, Neil! 
Neil
But first, as usual, I have a question for you, Sam. Psychologists define optimism 
as an attitude which overestimates the chances of good things happening to you, 
while underestimating the chances of bad things occurring. So, what proportion 
of the British population, do you think, describe themselves as optimistic? Is it: 
a) 20 percent? 
b) 50 percent? or, 
c) 80 percent?
