At the office this morning, Hank was checking out a breathtaking presentation that Annie
put together. Hank praised the eye popping visuals and mouthwatering content, telling Annie
that he was sure it would prevent their sales from nosediving. Let's discuss Welcome
to another Happy English podcast, coming to you from New York City. And
here's your English teacher, Michael. All right, thank you John, and
thanks everyone. It's Michael here from Happy English and I help people speak English
better. And this is Happy English Podcast Episode six ninety. Face part vocabulary
for today's English lesson. Let's have a look at five words that are formed
using various parts of our face. Now listen to the conversation. First,
you'll hear the conversation at a slow pace, slower than usual English conversations.
At the end of this lesson, you'll have the chance to hear the same
conversation but at a faster, natural sounding speed. Wow, Annie, this
presentation you created is absolutely breathtaking. I'm sure our clients will be impressed.
Thank you, Hank. I wanted it to be eye popping to capture their
attention. Plus I added some mouthwatering visuals to make it more engaging. You've
nailed it. Annie. This is amazingly good work. It's a game changer
for our upcoming meeting with the client. I'm relieved to hear that, Hank.
I was worried because I had to deal with the ear splitting noise from
the construction next door while I was working on it. I know it's been
tough with the noise, but your efforts paid off and we're ready to shine
in the presentation. Thanks, Hank, your support means a lot. Let's
hope this presentation prevents our sales from now. There are a couple of coworkers
who get along. Well. Let's have a look at this vocabulary. The
first one is breathtaking. Something that is breathtaking is so impressive or beautiful or
astonishing that it takes your breath away. Here are some examples. The view
from the mountain top was breathtaking. It felt like I was standing on the
edge of the world. The orchestra gave a truly breathtaking performance last night at
Lincoln's Center. Lisa's talent for painting produces quite breathtaking works of art. Next
is mouthwatering. When something is mouthwatering, it looks or smells incredibly delicious,
making your mouth water as you look forward to eating it. For example,
the smell of freshly baked bread in the bakery was so mouthwatering that I couldn't
resist buying a loaf. The chef's mouthwatering dishes have made her and this restaurant
extremely popular in the city. My mom's homemade lasagna is always a hit at
dinner time. It's absolutely mouthwatering. The third one is ear splitting. Noise
or sound that is ear splitting is extremely loud and uncomfortable to listen to.
Here are some examples. The construction site next door generated an ear splitting noise
that made it tough for everyone in our office to work. During the rock
concert, the band's music reached an ear splitting volume that had fans cheering.
The thunder storm brought ear splitting lightning and thunder, keeping everyone awake. Next
is eye popping. Eye popping refers to something that is amazing or remarkable to
look at. For example, the fireworks display on New Year's Eve was filled
with eye popping colors and patterns. The fashion show featured models wearing eye popping
outfits designed by the top designers. The city skyline at sunset is quite eye
popping. You should check it out. The last one is nosediving, which
is a sudden and sharp decline or decrease in something. Here are some examples.
The company's stock prices began nosediving after the unexpected financial scandal was revealed.
Since they started raising the prices. Attendant that the amusement park has been nosediving.
After several successful seasons, the team's performance started nosediving, leaving fans disappointed.
Keep in mind, the best way to remember this and any vocabulary is
to take the word or phrase, write it in a sentence that's true for
you or true in your world, and then memorize your sentences. Well,
that's all the time we have for today's English lesson. I hope that wasn't
too ear splitting for you. If you'd like to get more practice using your
