00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:02.449
Do dodo do do do do.

2
00:00:02.450 --> 00:00:05.209
The eyes have it.

3
00:00:05.210 --> 00:00:06.210
Hmm?

4
00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:11.240
Hi, James from www.engvid.com . Today, I'm
going to teach you some idioms about eyes.

5
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:18.350
Well, not your eyes, but how we can use the
word eyes in idioms to convey certain meanings

6
00:00:18.350 --> 00:00:20.720
which means to give a certain meaning.

7
00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:24.171
First of all, what's an idiom?

8
00:00:24.171 --> 00:00:32.189
An idiom is a few words or a bunch of words
that put together that may not have an obvious

9
00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:38.748
meaning or a clear meaning, but once you know
what they are, it actually gives you a greater

10
00:00:38.749 --> 00:00:39.940
meaning to it.

11
00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:45.100
So, example is - in English, we like to say
it's raining cats and dogs, which doesn't

12
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.100
make any sense whatsoever.

13
00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:49.719
Cats and dogs do not fall from the sky.

14
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:54.789
But, when you understand, it means it's a
lot of rain, you're like okay, it's raining

15
00:00:54.789 --> 00:00:56.780
cats and dogs, got it.

16
00:00:56.780 --> 00:01:01.559
And it's because we use this shorthand for
language that's full of meaning or rich with

17
00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:03.989
meaning to get across a greater meaning.

18
00:01:03.989 --> 00:01:07.690
Anyway, we're going to go to the board but
before we do, I just wanted you to check out

19
00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:09.610
my new Star Trek look, right?

20
00:01:09.610 --> 00:01:12.430
Captain Kirk, we're going back to the Enterprise!
21st century.

21
00:01:12.430 --> 00:01:17.130
Or the 24th century then the 21st century.

22
00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:18.940
Let's go to the board.

23
00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:24.999
So, Mr. E says "The eyes have it", but on
my board, you're going to notice there's nothing

24
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.519
to do with eyes, so I'm going to read this
little story to you, it's between, you know,

25
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:35.480
a little story between Mr. E and myself, and
then later on, I'm going to teach you the

26
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:40.830
appropriate idioms that have the word "eye"
inside of it that you can use to substitute

27
00:01:40.830 --> 00:01:42.790
for the blue sections, okay?

28
00:01:42.790 --> 00:01:47.630
So, I'm going to explain, you know, we'll
go through the story, then we'll do the idioms,

29
00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:52.160
okay, then we'll come back here and we'll
make the corrections and put in the new idioms

30
00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:53.160
that you've learned.

31
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:54.780
Sound like fun?

32
00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:56.710
Well, let's go to the board.

33
00:01:56.710 --> 00:02:01.880
So, starting off myself: The bright color
of the shirt got my attention, so I bought

34
00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:04.210
it.

35
00:02:04.210 --> 00:02:07.460
Mr. E says: Well, you've always had good taste
in clothing.

36
00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:09.330
I go: No, not really.

37
00:02:09.330 --> 00:02:12.820
The blue shirt I bought was so ugly it hurts
to look at it.

38
00:02:12.820 --> 00:02:14.980
And he says: Do you think so?

39
00:02:14.980 --> 00:02:19.310
I thought I saw Keiko show a bit of romantic
interest when you wore the blue shirt.

40
00:02:19.310 --> 00:02:22.500
He says: Really?

41
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:26.319
I will have to watch very carefully the next
time I wear this shirt and see Keiko.

42
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.580
Dum dum dum dum, the plot thickens, okay.

43
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:33.360
Mr E: I wouldn't try to deceive you.

44
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.230
James: She is very interesting.

45
00:02:35.230 --> 00:02:38.270
There is a lot more to that woman which is
not obvious.

46
00:02:38.270 --> 00:02:40.760
Ah, an interesting story.

47
00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:46.959
It's gone from clothing to romance, and I'm
about to go into idioms and just destroy all

48
00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:47.959
that, but anyway.

49
00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:51.430
You ready?

50
00:02:51.430 --> 00:02:56.239
Let's go to the board and look at what idioms
I can use to replace the statements you've

51
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:57.240
just seen.

52
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:58.240
You ready?

53
00:02:58.240 --> 00:02:59.240
Let's go.

54
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:05.840
So, time for me to actually explain all these
idioms we're looking at and show you, you

55
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.980
know, some idioms we can use to replace the
words we had up there.

56
00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:14.840
But before I do that, I want to give a shout
out, as I keep an eye out for Ronnie!

57
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.250
Okay Ronnie, it's your turn.

58
00:03:17.250 --> 00:03:20.169
You've got to say shout out to me in the future.

59
00:03:20.169 --> 00:03:21.509
Anyway, see you soon, Ron.

60
00:03:21.510 --> 00:03:27.099
Okay, so anyway, let's go to the board, and
on the board, I have seven idioms that will

61
00:03:27.099 --> 00:03:33.470
replace the seven sentences we highlighted
in blue on the board earlier on.

62
00:03:33.470 --> 00:03:37.690
So, the first one I want to talk about is
caught someone's eye, or to catch someone's

63
00:03:37.690 --> 00:03:38.690
eye.

64
00:03:38.690 --> 00:03:43.520
I think I was - when you catch somebody's
eye, when catch something, alright, you catch

65
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:45.710
it.

66
00:03:45.710 --> 00:03:49.510
You focus and you can catch - I think when
you focus, you can catch it.

67
00:03:49.510 --> 00:03:51.440
When you catch it, it's yours, sort of thing.

68
00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:56.249
So, when something catches your eye, it literally
takes your attention and catches it, alright?

69
00:03:56.250 --> 00:03:58.239
So, to attract someone's attention.

70
00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:03.270
You caught my eye, you catch my eyes, so I
watch, you know, I watch whatever it is you

71
00:04:03.270 --> 00:04:04.270
have.

72
00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:07.299
Second: to haven an eye for something.

73
00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:12.459
To have an eye - a single eye.

74
00:04:12.459 --> 00:04:19.720
When you have an eye for something, it means
you have a very good ability to tell what

75
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:27.449
is good quality or bad quality or what is
good and what is bad.

76
00:04:27.449 --> 00:04:32.040
I have the best eye - I have the best eye
- I can, I have the best quality - Sorry,

77
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.860
I'm imitating someone else, Trump.

78
00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:40.620
So, when you have a good eye for something,
you can say "I have an eye for diamonds.",

79
00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:44.169
so I know what a good diamond is, or I have
a good eye for quality workers, I know what

80
00:04:44.169 --> 00:04:45.330
a good worker is.

81
00:04:45.330 --> 00:04:49.220
So, when someone has an eye for something,
they can see quality.

82
00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:50.220
Eyesore.

83
00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:56.279
Well, if you go to the gym and you work out
a lot, the next day you're going to go "Oh,

84
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:57.629
my body hurts!"

85
00:04:57.630 --> 00:05:00.770
Not that it hurts, you say it's sore.

86
00:05:00.770 --> 00:05:05.750
It's not in pain from like, you've injured
yourself and you have to go to a doctor, it's

87
00:05:05.750 --> 00:05:08.250
more that from overwork, it's sore.

88
00:05:08.250 --> 00:05:12.430
Usually, the gym is a good place to get sore
because you go "I did my workouts, I feel

89
00:05:12.430 --> 00:05:13.430
good".

90
00:05:13.430 --> 00:05:19.790
Eyesore, remember, it hurts, your eyes shouldn't
really ever be sore, so if your eyes are sore

91
00:05:19.790 --> 00:05:22.069
it's because something is hurting them.

92
00:05:22.070 --> 00:05:26.400
Usually a person or a thing that is extremely
ugly.

93
00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:32.630
Notice I said a person, because yes, you can
be that unattractive.

94
00:05:32.630 --> 00:05:37.890
I personally think everybody's good looking
in their own way, but some people, the way

95
00:05:37.890 --> 00:05:41.909
they dress or act, they can become an eyesore,
you know what I'm saying?

96
00:05:41.910 --> 00:05:42.990
You know what I'm saying.

97
00:05:42.990 --> 00:05:43.990
Okay.

98
00:05:43.990 --> 00:05:48.339
But we usually use it for things, like a house
can be an eyesore, bright clothing can be

99
00:05:48.339 --> 00:05:49.729
an eyesore, right?

100
00:05:49.730 --> 00:05:55.479
Your stylish hairdo from the 80's - an eyesore.

101
00:05:55.479 --> 00:05:56.989
Keep an eye on something.

102
00:05:56.990 --> 00:05:58.900
Well right now, I'm keeping an eye on you.

103
00:05:58.900 --> 00:06:03.529
I'm just looking at you, yes, that's right,
I look at you, just you, nobody else but you.

104
00:06:03.529 --> 00:06:05.469
I keep this eye on you.

105
00:06:05.470 --> 00:06:09.150
It means watch carefully, because it means
I can go around the room and look around and

106
00:06:09.150 --> 00:06:13.389
do other things but this eye, this eye just
stays on you, okay?

107
00:06:13.389 --> 00:06:15.250
Keep an eye - watch very carefully.

108
00:06:15.250 --> 00:06:19.240
Now, the - pull the wool over someone's eyes.

109
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.920
Oh, thankfully I have a wool sweater.

110
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:24.339
I'm blind!

111
00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:26.049
I cannot see!

112
00:06:26.050 --> 00:06:30.550
When you pull the wool over someone's eyes,
you deceive them.

113
00:06:30.550 --> 00:06:32.980
It means you trick them.

114
00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:35.640
You do not let them see the truth.

115
00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:39.730
So, when they pull the wool over your eyes,
you do not know what is going on.

116
00:06:39.730 --> 00:06:40.730
Okay?

117
00:06:40.730 --> 00:06:44.889
Oh, I've missed one, I'm sorry.

118
00:06:44.889 --> 00:06:49.779
Some of you who have kept an eye on what I
was doing probably noticed, how come he went

119
00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:51.629
from three to five?

120
00:06:51.630 --> 00:06:53.779
You're very smart.

121
00:06:53.779 --> 00:06:54.949
Let's go to number four.

122
00:06:54.950 --> 00:07:03.839
To give someone the eye, you know when you
see someone go like - that's giving you the

123
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:04.839
eye.

124
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.519
It's to show romantic interest.

125
00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:08.770
They like you.

126
00:07:08.770 --> 00:07:10.550
They give you the eye.

127
00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:15.060
Now, I'll go over to number seven.

128
00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:18.630
Transformers, more than meets the eye.

129
00:07:18.630 --> 00:07:21.038
Remember, they're cars.

130
00:07:21.039 --> 00:07:25.460
They're Autobots and the Decepticons hiding
in plain sight.

131
00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:27.320
There is more than meets the eye.

132
00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:31.039
They can change from one thing to another,
but you don't know yet.

133
00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:33.970
And that's why we put yet here.

134
00:07:33.970 --> 00:07:37.410
So, when something is more than meets the
eye, it's like if you wait long enough, you'll

135
00:07:37.410 --> 00:07:41.719
see there's much more to learn or to understand
if you pay attention.

136
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:42.720
Cool?

137
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.600
Well, now we've done these seven idioms and
we've done this wonderful story.

138
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.210
How are we going to put them together?

139
00:07:50.210 --> 00:07:52.979
I think we should go to the board and find
out!

140
00:07:52.979 --> 00:08:00.169
Okay, so, we've learned what the idioms are
and now we're going to back to the original

141
00:08:00.169 --> 00:08:06.150
- original story and we're going to put the
idioms we've just worked on into the story.

142
00:08:06.150 --> 00:08:07.150
You ready?

143
00:08:07.150 --> 00:08:08.509
Let's go to the board.

144
00:08:08.509 --> 00:08:14.250
So, originally we had, you know, we'll read
the story again and then we'll see how we

145
00:08:14.250 --> 00:08:15.250
can change it up.

146
00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:19.668
So, "The bright color of the shirt got my
attention, so I bought it.

147
00:08:19.669 --> 00:08:24.639
""Well, you've always had good taste in clothing",
said Mr. E. James replied, "Not really, the

148
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.950
blue shirt I bought was so ugly that it hurts
to look at it."

149
00:08:27.950 --> 00:08:32.270
Mr. E. said, "So," - sorry - "Do you think
so?

150
00:08:32.270 --> 00:08:36.440
I though I saw Keiko show a little bit of
romantic interest when you wore the blue shirt."

151
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:37.880
James said "Really?

152
00:08:37.880 --> 00:08:42.990
I will have to watch very carefully the next
time I wear the shirt and see Keiko."

153
00:08:42.990 --> 00:08:45.240
And then he said "No, well I wouldn't try
to deceive you."

154
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.950
And finally, "She is very interesting.

155
00:08:46.950 --> 00:08:51.420
There is more - there is a lot more to that
woman that is not obvious."

156
00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:56.630
So, let's - let me entertain you.

157
00:08:56.630 --> 00:08:59.350
Let's see how we can make the changes and
use the first one.

158
00:08:59.350 --> 00:09:01.580
So, in the first one we've got "got my attention".

159
00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:05.529
What do we say instead of "Something got my
attention"?

160
00:09:05.529 --> 00:09:12.040
I'm going to erase it because clearly we're
going to change this one.

161
00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:19.870
Okay, so as I'm erasing and you're thinking,
what do you think it is?

162
00:09:19.870 --> 00:09:25.540
Boom, like baseball, that's right.

163
00:09:25.540 --> 00:09:32.070
"Caught my eye", right?

164
00:09:32.070 --> 00:09:34.460
The bright color of the shirt caught my eye,
so I bought it.

165
00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:35.460
Good, that's the first one.

166
00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:38.179
One second, there we go.

167
00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:41.349
What about the next sentence?

168
00:09:41.350 --> 00:09:45.610
"Well you've always had good taste in clothing."

169
00:09:45.610 --> 00:09:53.589
Always had good taste in clothing, what are
we going to say?

170
00:09:53.589 --> 00:10:01.429
Okay, now imagine if you have a bad arm and
you have a - that's right, I go here and we're

171
00:10:01.429 --> 00:10:18.909
going to say your good taste - and this changes
to "an eye", alright, and "an eye for" - and

172
00:10:18.910 --> 00:10:24.080
now remember, an eye for clothing in this
case means good taste, or you can tell the

173
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.920
difference between good and bad.

174
00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:30.130
So, an eye for something means you know the
difference between high quality and low quality

175
00:10:30.130 --> 00:10:31.640
or good and bad.

176
00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:32.640
Alright.

177
00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:34.360
What about here?

178
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:40.669
"Not really, the blue shirt was so ugly it
hurts to look at it."

179
00:10:40.670 --> 00:10:48.390
Okay, you've got it.

180
00:10:48.390 --> 00:10:49.390
You got it.

181
00:10:49.390 --> 00:10:54.220
Oh yes, let me get rid of all of this.

182
00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:57.640
And I'm going to ask you a question before
I write it down.

183
00:10:57.640 --> 00:11:01.390
When you work out, if you work out and go
to the gym a lot, you know, you're like ugh,

184
00:11:01.390 --> 00:11:06.429
really work, the next day it hurts and you
go "My back is", what?

185
00:11:06.429 --> 00:11:07.429
Sore!

186
00:11:07.429 --> 00:11:08.429
Because it hurts.

187
00:11:08.429 --> 00:11:11.259
So, we say "eyesore".

188
00:11:11.260 --> 00:11:18.320
Remember, eyesore means - sore means to hurt
- an eyesore means something so ugly it hurts

189
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:19.320
to look at it.

190
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.929
An eyesore, right?

191
00:11:22.929 --> 00:11:25.889
Sorry - an eyesore.

192
00:11:25.890 --> 00:11:28.278
Let's put that there.

193
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.990
It was an eyesore.

194
00:11:30.990 --> 00:11:32.510
Almost forgot.

195
00:11:32.510 --> 00:11:34.250
"Do you think so?

196
00:11:34.250 --> 00:11:39.160
I thought I saw Keiko show a bit of romantic
interest..."

197
00:11:39.160 --> 00:11:43.170
Hm hm hm hm hm.

198
00:11:43.170 --> 00:11:45.990
What would we say?

199
00:11:45.990 --> 00:11:56.359
Mmhmm, once again, I'll give you the opportunity
to think about it carefully, and what one,

200
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:09.120
what idiom did we use to say showing romantic
interest?

201
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:23.640
Remember, giving the eye, when you give someone
the eye, so Keiko was like "Ahh!", you know.

202
00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:33.380
Or my favorite, when someone's bashful, bashful
means like, shy, and they're like - 

203
00:12:33.380 --> 00:12:34.410
giving you the eye.

204
00:12:34.410 --> 00:12:37.660
Keiko was giving you the eye when she saw
you with that blue shirt.

205
00:12:37.660 --> 00:12:39.860
And James says "Really?

206
00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:47.580
I will have to watch very carefully the next
time", okay?

207
00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:58.760
What's that one going to be?

208
00:12:58.760 --> 00:13:03.929
Do do dodo do do dodo do do dododo.

209
00:13:03.929 --> 00:13:04.929
Musical interlude.

210
00:13:04.929 --> 00:13:06.909
It means I'm making music for you while we
wait.

211
00:13:06.910 --> 00:13:22.750
So, in this case, I'm going to write - 

212
00:13:22.750 --> 00:13:27.059
so a long sentence here, it happens.

213
00:13:27.059 --> 00:13:29.619
Okay, so "Really?

214
00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:34.590
I will have to keep an eye on what happens
the next time I wear this shirt and see Keiko."

215
00:13:34.590 --> 00:13:35.590
Remember?

216
00:13:35.590 --> 00:13:39.050
I will have to, you know, watch them, watch
very carefully.

217
00:13:39.050 --> 00:13:44.540
Finally, "I wouldn't try to deceive you."

218
00:13:44.540 --> 00:13:47.190
What is "I wouldn't try to deceive you"?

219
00:13:47.190 --> 00:13:56.399
Okay, so again I will erase the board and
you will figure out what it is.

220
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:09.020
But I will give you a hint: baaah, baaah!

221
00:14:09.020 --> 00:14:18.620
Okay, I wouldn't try to pull the wool over
your eyes, remember?

222
00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:20.510
We talked about tricking you.

223
00:14:20.510 --> 00:14:23.899
You could think like a wolf in sheep's clothing,
huh?

224
00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:27.019
And now I mean finally, I jumped the gun there.

225
00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:29.190
Finally, "She is very interesting.

226
00:14:29.190 --> 00:14:32.420
There is a lot more to that woman which is
not obvious."

227
00:14:32.420 --> 00:14:35.449
That sentence sounds kind of crazy, because
it is.

228
00:14:35.450 --> 00:14:41.269
I probably wouldn't say that, but we would
say, and I will once again give you the opportunity

229
00:14:41.269 --> 00:14:46.050
to try to figure it out before I get there,
because you know, you're smart.

230
00:14:46.050 --> 00:14:47.800
I know you can do it.

231
00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:51.230
You can do it!

232
00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:59.440
And what is that sentence we're going to write
here?

233
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:03.680
Yeah.

234
00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:15.690
Wow, check that out.

235
00:15:15.690 --> 00:15:19.180
There is more to - well, there is more to
here.

236
00:15:19.180 --> 00:15:26.850
Yes, there is more to here, but what I meant
to write is "There is more to her", her is

237
00:15:26.850 --> 00:15:28.519
Keiko, "than meets the eye."

238
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:32.339
Alright so, there is more to hear because
we're going to look at how we changed it and

239
00:15:32.339 --> 00:15:33.339
what it means here.

240
00:15:33.339 --> 00:15:37.310
So, "The bright color of the shirt caught
my eye, so I bought it."

241
00:15:37.310 --> 00:15:41.680
Mr. E. says, "Well, you've always had a good
eye for clothing.", right?

242
00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:45.500
James says, "Not really, the blue shirt I
bought was an eyesore."

243
00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:48.259
E says "Do you think so?

244
00:15:48.260 --> 00:15:52.980
I thought I saw Keiko giving you the eye when
you wore the blue shirt."

245
00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:58.539
"Really?" said James, "I will have to keep
an eye on what happens the next time I wear

246
00:15:58.540 --> 00:16:00.220
the shirt and see Keiko."

247
00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:04.190
Mr. E, "Hey, I wouldn't try to pull the wool
over your eyes."

248
00:16:04.190 --> 00:16:08.199
And finally, "She is very interesting.

249
00:16:08.199 --> 00:16:12.290
There is more to her than meets the eye.",
this Ms. Keiko.

250
00:16:12.290 --> 00:16:14.329
Anyway, I hope you like how we transitioned.

251
00:16:14.329 --> 00:16:18.130
You notice we used "eye" many times, but it
doesn't sound like we're saying "eye" too

252
00:16:18.130 --> 00:16:22.630
much, because these - these idiomatic phrases
that are so natural that fall from our lips

253
00:16:22.630 --> 00:16:27.300
when we speak, that it sounds natural and
you don't feel like you're repeating yourself

254
00:16:27.300 --> 00:16:29.460
too much.

255
00:16:29.460 --> 00:16:32.579
But as always, I want to give you a bonus
before we do our homework, because that's

256
00:16:32.579 --> 00:16:33.990
the way I roll here.

257
00:16:33.990 --> 00:16:37.180
Bonus: Keep one's eyes peeled.

258
00:16:37.180 --> 00:16:40.029
Some of you are going to say, "What is peeled?"

259
00:16:40.029 --> 00:16:45.389
Well, when you have a banana, what you do
is this, you take the skin off like that.

260
00:16:45.389 --> 00:16:46.389
That's called peeling.

261
00:16:46.389 --> 00:16:49.570
Or, if you have an apple and you take the
skin off, it's called peeling.

262
00:16:49.570 --> 00:16:53.420
Now, how you keep your eyes peeled, I don't
know.

263
00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:58.310
It's not like I can take my eyes out and take
the skin off, but we say it as an idiom, which

264
00:16:58.310 --> 00:17:01.000
is to watch something carefully, or someone.

265
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.560
So, keep your eyes peeled for the cops.

266
00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:05.289
Watch out for the cops, okay?

267
00:17:05.289 --> 00:17:08.659
So, it means "carefully watch somebody or
for something".

268
00:17:08.659 --> 00:17:11.630
Similar to this is "keep an eye out for".

269
00:17:11.630 --> 00:17:14.729
Now, there are kind of two ways of saying
this.

270
00:17:14.729 --> 00:17:19.869
If you say keep your eye out for nails or
something, it means watch out and be careful.

271
00:17:19.869 --> 00:17:22.800
The other reason you say this is usually when
you hear it if you're at a restaurant and

272
00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:25.729
you go "Hey, keep your eye out for the waiter
when he's coming."

273
00:17:25.729 --> 00:17:28.629
It's not keep your eyes peeled, which is like
seriously look.

274
00:17:28.629 --> 00:17:31.570
It means be aware of or look for somebody
arriving.

275
00:17:31.570 --> 00:17:36.789
So, keep an eye out for the waiter or the
salesperson, but it could also be keep an

276
00:17:36.789 --> 00:17:38.960
eye out for a package for me.

277
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:43.090
Something is arriving and I want you to pay
attention, okay?

278
00:17:43.090 --> 00:17:44.590
And "in the public eye".

279
00:17:44.590 --> 00:17:49.240
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - it's kind of
funny because one day I'm going to say that

280
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.419
and people are going to go "Who are these
people?"

281
00:17:51.419 --> 00:17:54.940
Time's going by so, I don't know, Justin Bieber?

282
00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:58.440
That's not a good choice either.

283
00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:00.388
Anyway, these people are in the public eye.

284
00:18:00.388 --> 00:18:02.739
It means they have the attention of the public.

285
00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:09.221
Leaders, presidents, musicians, athletes,
when they are well known to the public, we

286
00:18:09.221 --> 00:18:10.499
say they're in the public eye.

287
00:18:10.499 --> 00:18:14.609
In fact, because they're in the public eye,
we can take a look at their lives in a way

288
00:18:14.609 --> 00:18:19.668
we wouldn't look at other people's lives,
and because you're in the public eye or the

289
00:18:19.669 --> 00:18:22.690
spotlight, we think we have the right to look
at you this way.

290
00:18:22.690 --> 00:18:23.690
So, be careful.

291
00:18:23.690 --> 00:18:27.480
You don't want to be in the public eye too
much, because your private life becomes public

292
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.480
property, okay.

293
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:30.779
So, I've given you some bonus.

294
00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:33.788
We've done our little exercise to check.

295
00:18:33.789 --> 00:18:38.359
The final thing I want to do is give you some
homework!

296
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.539
In this case, what I want you to do is write
a five-sentence paragraph using two of the

297
00:18:42.540 --> 00:18:44.440
idioms, at least, in the paragraph.

298
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.669
I don't want you getting overly repetitive
and saying every sentence, okay?

299
00:18:48.669 --> 00:18:49.669
That's not how it flows.

300
00:18:49.669 --> 00:18:55.440
I mean, when we do this, yes, I'm doing it
on purpose to get you to think about it or

301
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.309
think in an English way or, you know, with
an English mind, so to speak, how we would

302
00:18:59.309 --> 00:19:02.769
understand it, when we would probably use
it.

303
00:19:02.769 --> 00:19:04.970
But you wouldn't say "eye, eye, eye, eye"
every sentence.

304
00:19:04.970 --> 00:19:09.070
So, there would be more of a natural flow
if I said something like "The bright color

305
00:19:09.070 --> 00:19:11.259
of the shirt caught my eye, so I bought it."

306
00:19:11.259 --> 00:19:14.240
And then someone said "Well, you've always
had good taste in clothing."

307
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.239
And then said, "Yeah, but the last one I bought
was an eyesore."

308
00:19:16.239 --> 00:19:20.919
That would be much more natural, to be honest,
but we need the practice, which you know,

309
00:19:20.919 --> 00:19:22.000
and that's why you're doing this.

310
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:27.440
But in this case, I want you to write five
sentences and in two of them, somewhere put

311
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.830
one of these idioms, okay?

312
00:19:30.830 --> 00:19:36.269
And then I want you to repeat it three times,
because doing it once is nice, but if you

313
00:19:36.269 --> 00:19:40.929
can do it three times and that would make
you use at least six idioms in three different

314
00:19:40.929 --> 00:19:46.749
situations that you're writing, you probably
can show that you've learned these very well,

315
00:19:46.749 --> 00:19:47.749
yeah?

316
00:19:47.749 --> 00:19:49.940
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video.

317
00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:51.789
I've got to get going.

318
00:19:51.789 --> 00:19:55.200
This sweater is a little bit of an eyesore,
but I like it.

319
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.629
I like it a lot.

320
00:19:58.629 --> 00:20:04.669
But before I go, I would like to say once
- first off, thank you very much for watching

321
00:20:04.669 --> 00:20:05.669
the video.

322
