Easy English Expression.
Rehashed. Hello, everybody.
My name is Coach Shane, and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on. Let's master English.
Coach Shane here. How you doing?
It is Saturday for you.
I hope your Saturday is going great.
We have a great expression, e -cubed number 52, the apple of my eye.
That is you. Let's go back in time.
Today's expression is a very nice expression.
The apple of my eye.
You are the apple of my eye.
Now what does this mean?
The apple. Well, apple is a fruit.
It's a delicious fruit.
Of my eye, do I have an apple in my eye?
What? Well, if you look at somebody's eye, well, their eyes, you will see that there's a sparkle, a shine.
There's a part of the eye that's really sparkly, like the sun.
And when somebody's happy, if you watch like a cartoon or some manga, you will see the person's eye shine, like a star.
That's when the person's happy.
So if they see somebody or something that makes them happy, their eyes sparkle.
And that sparkle is also called an apple.
Well, there's actually a big story about the origin of this expression and you can find it online.
But just remember, if you are the apple of my eye, that means you make me so happy.
You are the happiest thing in my life.
Let's check out a dialogue.
Andre really smiles when he sees his three children.
Oh, they're the apple of his eye.
They look so cute. Well, they resemble their mother.
One of my DDM students is Andre.
And he has three children.
Now, he's so happy when he sees his children.
They make him so happy.
But, the children resemble his wife, not Andre.
And that's a good thing.
No, I'm teasing Andre.
But it's true. Andre's children are the apple of his eye.
Or maybe we should say the apples of his eye.
No, no, no. Just keep it singular.
Because your eye should only have one sparkle.
What's the apple of your eye?
For me, well, I have two great cats.
Cass and Minty. And I love them both, but I would have to say Minty is the apple of my eye.
I'm sorry, Cass. I like you too.
So once again, leave me a message.
What is the apple of your eye?
Let's listen to the dialogue two more times.
Andre really smiles when he sees his three children.
Oh, they're the apple of his eye.
They look so cute. Well, they resemble their mother.
Andre really smiles when he sees his three children Oh, they're the apple of his eye They look so cute Well, they resemble their mother Thanks so much for listening Make sure to check out our webpage www .letsmasterenglish .com Try a free lesson Get our newsletter And if you have a question, please, or a comment,
