Hi Chris, I see you've got an interesting new jumper. |
[00:04.00] |
Ah, yes. I went to the market this weekend. I wasn't looking for a new jumper but I walked past a vintage clothing stall and this just caught my eye. |
[00:13.00] |
Ow, did it hurt? |
[00:16.00] |
No, no. It's just a way of saying it attracted my attention and it made me want to take a closer look. I eventually bought it for only £10. What do you think? |
[00:25.00] |
Well, it's OK. But I don't really like the yellow colour with orange sleeves. It's a bit bright. |
[00:33.00] |
What do you mean? |
[00:34.00] |
I have to be honest, Chris. Bright colours don't really suit you. |
[00:39.00] |
Oh. Well, it might not be to your taste, but I'm sure other people will like it. |
[00:45.00] |
Jen, what do you think of Chris's outfit today? |
[00:48.00] |
Wow, that's an eye-catching jumper. Don't tell me you actually paid for that? |
[00:54.00] |
Wh- |
[00:55.00] |
An eye-catching jumper. So when it catches your eye, you notice it. |
[00:59.00] |
That's right, Helen. But eye-catching doesn't necessarily mean it's bright, like Chris's interesting jumper. It can be something that you quickly see because it surprises or interests you. |
[01:12.00] |
You can also catch other people's eyes. |
[01:15.00] |
Urgh, I hope no-one throws their eyes at me. |
[01:18.00] |
It's a gesture that can be romantic - to catch someone's eye across a crowded room. Let's listen to some examples. |
[01:25.00] |
Jeff was about to give up and leave when he caught Sophie's eye at the bar. |
[01:32.00] |
David was impatient to leave the restaurant and raised his hand to catch the waiter's eye. |
[01:37.00] |
So you can grab someone else's attention by looking at them with your eyes. |
[01:41.00] |
Hmm. If I see someone I like, should I be polite and ask them if I can catch their eye? |
[01:47.00] |
No, it's just something you do when you look at someone. You don't need to ask. |
[01:51.00] |
I'm looking around the room. I'm looking around the room. And now I'm looking at you, Chris. I'm catching your eye. |
[01:59.00] |
That's right. |
[02:00.00] |
I'm catching your eye. I'm catching your eye. |
[02:04.00] |
Well, it is only temporary. If you look for any longer it can become a stare. |
[02:09.00] |
I've caught your eye. |
[02:11.00] |
Yes, yes you have. OK, you are definitely staring at me now. |
