EYES EXPRESSION
Todays program is all about eyes. When it comes to relationships,
peoples eyes can be a window into their hearts. This means that their
eyes can tell a lot about how they feel. We will tell a story about a man
and woman who are teachers at the same school. The woman is interested
in the man. She used many methods to catch his eye or get him to notice
her. Once he sets eyes on her or sees her, she might try to get him
interested in her by acting playful. In other words, she might try to make
eyes at him or give him the eye.
Let us suppose that this man get hit between the eyes. In other word, the
woman has strong effect on him. He wants to spend time her and get to
know her better. He asks her out on a date. She is so happy that she may
walk around for days with stars in her eyes. She is extremely happy
because this man is the apple of her eye, a very special person. She might
tell him that he is the person she wants or I only have eyes for you.
On the date, the couple might eat a meal together at a restaurant. If the
man is really hungry, his eyes might be bigger than his stomach. He
might order more food than he can eat. When his food arrives at the table,
his eyes might pop out, he might very surprised by the amount of food
provided. He might not even believe his own eyes. In fact, all eyes would
be watching him if he ate all food. This might even cause raise eye brows.
People might look at the man with disapproval.
During the dinner, the couple might discuss many things. They might
discover that they see eye to eye or agree on many issues. They share the
same beliefs and opinions. For example, they might agree that every
crime or injury should be punished. That is they firmly believe in the idea
of an eye for an eye. They might also agree that it is wrong to pull a wool
over a persons eye. This means to try to trick a person by making him
believe something that is false. But the man and woman do not believe in
the evil eye that a person can harm you by looking at you.
The next day, at the school, the woman asks the man to keep an eye on or
watch the young student in her class while she is out of the class room.
This might be hard to do when a teacher is writing on a board at the front
of the class room. To do so, a teacher would need to have eyes in the back
of his head. In other words, he would know what the children are doing
even when he is not watching them.

lied about the business deal and will lose his job. For a child must learn to
face up to her responsibilities and complete her school work.
Meeting someone face to face can be exciting, especially if the other
person is famous. It is an expression one might use after visiting the
White House and meeting the President, face to face. For a teacher might
ask for a face to face meeting with the parents of a student in trouble .It
means to talk to someone in person, not by telephone.
Another expression is as plain as the nose on your face. It means that
something is as clear as it can possibly be. Shakespeare used the words
almost 500 years ago for joke in his play "Two Gentlemen of Bologna."
Valentine secretly loves Lady Sylvia. His servant jokes that Valentine's
love for her is as hard to see as the nose on a man's face. Of course, a
man's nose cannot be hidden. A more recent use of the expression
appeared in a report in NewsDay Magazine. It was about the dispute
between the United States and Europe over agriculture. The United States
had criticized Europeans for protecting their soybean farmers. The
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in return
criticized the United States for its huge budget deficits. The report said
the OECD seems to be sane. It is plain as the nose on your face, that
you must raise taxes.

was flowing into the United States faster than it had before the 18th
amendment. Public officials feared that disrespect for one law might lead
to disrespect for all laws. So they started a campaign to show the
importance of the 18th amendment. A wealthy man in the state of
Massachusetts , Anan Draker, offered a prize for the best word to
describe a person who laughed at the new law. He would give the winner
200 dollars. The man received 25,000 proposals . He chose the word
Scoff law. It came from the word scoff which means to laugh at or make
fun of and the word law. The winning word was announced at a public
ceremony; but it did not help the campaign in support of the 18th
amendment. There simply were too many people who did not want a ban
on alcohol. Journalist Franklin Adams wrote a poem to show how silly it
was. "Prohibition is an awful fluff , we like it. It cannot stop what it is
meant to stop, we like it. It has left a trail of grafts and slimes. It has filled
our land with vice and crime. It does not prohibit worth a dime.
Nevertheless, we like it."
The 18th amendment was killed in 1933 by another constitution
amendment, the 21st. Making, selling and drinking alcohol became legal
again. And the word scofflaw was forgotten until recent years. It was
brought back into popular use by a traffic court judge in New York City .
The judge John Morter had become very angry with some people who put
their cars in places marked "no parking". Traffic police gave these people
parking tickets. The people were supposed to pay a small amount of
money as punishment, but they did not pay. Judge Morter decided to
punish these people more severely. He ordered one man to pay more than
a thousand dollars and he called the man a Scofflaw.

Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green
thumb. The expression comes from the early 1900s. A person with a
green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow
quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green
thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The green revolution is the name given some years ago to the
development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants
produce much larger crops. The green revolution was the result of hard
work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the colour used to describe the powerful emotion, jealousy.
The green eye monster is not a frightening creature from outer space . It
is an expression used about 400 years ago by British writer William
Shakespeare in his play Othello. It describes the unpleasant feeling a
person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may
suffer from the green eye monster if his girlfriend begins going out with
someone else. Or that green eye monster may affect your friend if you
get a pay raise and she does not.
In most places in the world, a green light is the sign to move ahead. A
green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on. In
everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with the
project. We want you to know we have a green light to continue this
series next week.
