Show 1119 Tuesday 8 December
Hi I'm Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.
In today's conversation we're doing a scene from a movie called Everybody's Fine. This is an American movie which has just been released in the states and it's a remake of an Italian movie.
It's a drama, something about a man who goes and visits his children.
And in this scene the guy is visiting his daughter's apartment. And she shows him inside and he's very impressed because it's big and cool, stylish.
And the conversation goes:
Wow.
You like it?
It's ...
Very me?
Very you. Very impressive.
Very me or very you ... or very anybody is an expression which means that something seems to really suit that person, or be typical of that person's taste.
For example, you might go to your friend Nancy's wedding and the decorations and the music and the food or whatever ... might
not be your taste ... but it's exactly the kind of thing that you would have expected her to choose. And you might say, "This is very Nancy".
STICK NEWS
Kia ora in Stick News today a robber was busted after he took a photo of himself with a stolen iPhone - and the photo went straight to the victim's computer.
A 20-year-old woman in the United States programmed her iPhone so that any photos she took would be automatically sent to her computer.
In October she was robbed. Sometime after the robbery, she recieved a photo of a young man holding a gun to his head.
The photo was then released, the man was identified and arrested.
And that was Stick News for Tuesday the 8th of December. Kia ora.
Word of the Day
Today's word is spacious.
spacious adj. (of a room or building) large and with plenty of space for people to move around in
In today's conversation the woman says to her dad:
I think you'll like the apartment. It's very ... spacious.
By the way spacious is a positive thing, so you can't use it when you're being negative - in that case just use a word like big.
So you can say: I don't like that house, it's too big.
You shouldn't say: I don't like that house, it's too spacious.
