0:09

things uh in life and one of the most

0:12

important reasons why you need English

0:15

is to talk about dating and to go on

0:18

romantic dates and to go on romantic

0:20

dates we all like to fall in love so

0:23

we're going to give you a situation

0:25

where I have been on a date and we're

0:28

going to pull out some phrases

0:30

Expressions that we can use to describe

0:33

a date

0:35

enjoy so Jonathan how was your blind

0:38

date last night oh it was crazy H that

0:41

blind date well as you know I I was a

0:45

bag of nerves beforehand you know what

0:48

if I don't like him what if he doesn't

0:51

like me oh very nerw workking so how did

0:54

it go well yeah as soon as we met we

0:57

started to chat away and it seemed as we

1:00

had bags of things in common that's

1:03

fantastic so is another date on the

1:06

cards well I hope so I mean it really

1:10

seemed that I made an impression on him

1:13

and he definitely made an impression on

1:15

me so who knows what did you have in

1:19

mind for your next day well I was

1:22

thinking of maybe going to the cinema

1:24

but I know that can be a little bit of a

1:25

cliche but like I said we have a lot in

1:27

common so we should probably go to a

1:31

bar

1:33

Happ okay guys so there you heard some

1:37

functional language expressions that we

1:40

can use to describe well many situations

1:44

but in that particular example I was

1:47

describing a date that I went on with

1:49

another person let's look through each

1:52

one

1:54

individually to make an impression to

1:58

make an impression if you make an

2:01

impression the person who you meet

2:03

really thinks in a positive way about

2:06

you they think you're a good person and

2:09

yeah you're

2:11

memorable blind date blind date if you

2:16

go on a blind date the person who you

2:19

are meeting you have never met

2:22

before however we specifically use this

2:27

for a meeting with ROM rantic interest

2:30

so for a date you would not say you are

2:33

going on a blind date with your new boss

2:36

for

2:37

example bag of nerves to be a bag of

2:41

nerves so we know what a bag is and we

2:45

know what nerves are so if you're a bag

2:48

of nerves it's like saying you're a

2:50

whole collection of nerves you're super

2:53

super

2:55

nervous to have bags of things in common

3:00

again in this example bags being used to

3:03

express quantity there is a lot so if

3:07

you say you have bags of things in

3:09

common you have many many

3:12

things which are uh current and common

3:16

between you and the other

3:19

person to chat away to chat away if you

3:25

chat away it doesn't mean that there is

3:28

zero conversation it

3:30

means the conversation is flowing and

3:34

you're really having a conversational

3:36

connection with the other person to chat

3:39

away nice

3:41

expression to be on the cards to be on

3:45

the

3:46

cards this expression we use to express

3:51

that something is likely or going to

3:55

happen for example you go on a first

3:58

date with somebody it goes very well

4:02

afterwards you could say I think a

4:04

second date is on the cards it's

4:07

expected or likely to

4:10

happen and the final one to have

4:13

something in mind to have something in

4:17

mind if you have something in mind it

4:20

means that you have an idea about a

4:24

situation or you have a proposal for an

4:27

idea for a situation so for for example

4:31

uh you tell me that you want to go out

4:32

at the weekend I say well what are you

4:34

thinking about do you have anything in

4:36

mind do you have something to

4:40

4:44

second dates or any date you ever go on

4:47
