00:00:03today I’m just going to do a short video
00:00:06on idiomatic expressions involving
00:00:08eating habits idioms are sentences which
00:00:12do not take on their literal meaning so
00:00:16my first example sentence I could eat a
00:00:18horse doesn’t actually mean you will eat
00:00:21a whole horse it just means that you
00:00:23feel very very hungry so I’m so hungry I
00:00:27could eat a horse
00:00:28just means you know you are very hungry
00:00:30you would like to eat
00:00:42my next sentence I eat like a pig it
00:00:47just means that you eat a lot of food
00:00:50it’s just an eating habit so if you see
00:00:53pigs eat they consume a lot they have
00:00:56their troughs and they just drone on num
00:00:58num they eat a whole lot of food so I
00:01:01eat like a pig it means you just eat a
00:01:04lot of food and finally my final
00:01:19sentence my eyes are bigger than my
00:01:21stomach
00:01:22it just means when you are so hungry
00:01:24that you could eat a horse sometimes you
00:01:27look in the menu and you order hamburger
00:01:30chips or I might have steak onion rings
00:01:33and then sometimes you ordered too much
00:01:36food when the food actually arrives you
00:01:39feel not as hungry as you thought you
00:01:41were so my eyes are bigger than my
00:01:44stomach or my eyes are bigger than my
00:01:46belly it just means you’ve ordered too
00:01:48much food and you cannot eat all of it
00:02:20so the three idiomatic expressions
00:02:24involved in eating habits today I could
00:02:27eat a horse
00:02:28it means you feel very hungry I eat like
00:02:31a pig
00:02:31it means you eat a lot and finally my
00:02:35eyes are bigger than my stomach it just
00:02:37means you’ve ordered too much food and
00:02:40you cannot finish that’s today’s lesson
