Learn the English Phrases 'first impression' and 'under the impression'

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English term FIRST IMPRESSION and the phrase UNDER THE IMPRESSION

In this English lesson I wanted to help you learn the English term first impression. Your first impression is what you think of someone or something the first time you see them or see it. A good example would be this if you were to introduce me to someone in your family. My first impression would probably be that they are a nice person just like you. So however, I think about the person in the first few moments that I meet them would be my first impression. Maybe you want to buy a house and when you walk into a house that you might buy, maybe you're looking at a house, your first impression might be it seems really nice. So a first impression is simply that first, that very first thought that you have about a person or about someone.

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is under the impression. And this means that you think something about someone, but you're not sure if it's true or not, but you kind of thought it was. I could say this to you. I was under the impression that you are the oldest in your family. I was under the impression that that guy had worked here for ten years, but he just started last week. I was under the impression that this house was only going to be $250,000, but this house is $400,000. I'm just imagining that I'm looking at a house. My first impression was that the house was really nice, and then I was under the impression that it would be a lot cheaper than it actually is. So I think under the impression you think something, but you might actually be wrong as well.

So to review your first impression is the first thing you think when you first watched one of my videos, I would assume if you're still here, that your first impression was, I think this guy's a pretty nice English teacher. And when you are under the impression it means maybe without facts, you think something about someone or something. So I could say something like, I was under the impression that these videos would be 5 minutes long, but they're only 4 minutes long.

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. Let me get it out of my pockets. And this is from Aleksey. I also like to have a free hand. Even if things get out of hand, I can always say that my hands were tied. Pun intended! And my response haha. Great series of phrases there. Aleksey, nice work. So that's from Aleksey Thank you very much.
Good use of a number of different phrases with the word hand in it.

So I can't walk too far today because it's quite windy out. Actually, it's kind of settled down a bit, but what I wanted to show you is we're a little concerned right now. If you look here, you can see that some of the grass in our driveway is starting to turn brown.

The reason this is happening is because it has not rained here for about two and a half weeks. And this is the time of year where we really need rain. Let me show you over here as well. This is very minor, but you can see that the grass in the middle of the driveway and along the edges is starting to turn brown. The grass in those areas is usually the first to go.

That's the first area to turn brown when we're going into what feels a little bit like a drought. I hope we're not entering a drought, but Jen and I have been watering flowers far more than we normally do this time of year. Usually in May and early June we have timely rains. It usually rains every week, but this year looks like it might be a dry year. I don't know for sure how long it will last. There's no rain in the forecast until Saturday, and then it's only like 30% chance of rain, which is not very high at all. So hopefully it starts raining soon. We need that for the crops to grow.

We need that for the flowers to grow and we'll have to just wait and see. Everything looks great now, but who knows if it doesn't rain, it's not going to stay like this forever. See ya!

My first impression of you is that your are an approachable teacher. I am under the impression that Jen and you are both really nice people, and I know that is true.

[unsalhakanuysal]

Hi dear teacher Bob! 🖐️😎

When I came across a video of yours about five years ago, my first impression was how sincere you are from your tone of voice, smile, gestures and facial expressions. And in a very short time I realized that I was right on this matter, and that you even had much better characteristics than I thought. Since then, I continue to follow you with great pleasure. Thank you so much for dedicating a part of your life to us. ♥️👍🤗

I hope the rain you've been waiting for will come soon. 🌧️🌱🌾

Have a great day! Love from İstanbul! Bye👋😊💐🌹💙

[denisplahov]

The first, second and third impressions of this channel is feeling lucky that I found it.

[irinazaitzeva]

Hello, dear teacher Bob!
The first impression of your lessons did not deceive me. I am under impression that you work so enthusiastic. You are the best English teacher in the world! ❤
Wish you rainy weather in the very near future.☔🌧️🌦️

[Aerosmith]

I am under the impression you love doing these English lessons.
I hope the rain arrives soon, here we had a good rain in a couple of times.

[romanmed]

great second part of the lesson. a free-style story helps to better understand speech. in the first part of the video, you speak so that I can easily hear you. and in the second part, at the usual speed of a local resident, it's already a little harder for me to highlight words. and it helps the learning of hearing. thank you for interesting lessons and excursions.

[padmajadhav]

Hi teacher Bob!! I was under impression that things would be better in Canada but I think climate change is now affecting every one! Still miracles, they do happen!!
Let us hope for the best!😊😊

[valeriaszasz]

Hi dear teacher Bob
My first impression about your short lessons was it would be a good chance to join it. My instinct was right. The grass dissappeared from our garden last summer due the drought. I wish nice light rainy season for the peonies, and your garden because the flowers are thirsty. We have more than enough rain now in Europe .Thanks for the lesson

[xavireca]

Hi Bob, even though in Spain it's raining again dams are still at 40% of its capacity, I hope you don't get that far in the drought, Canada is already having trouble with wildfires and you need water more than ever 😢 best wishes for Canada❤

[Aleksey_FE]

I was under the impression that teacher Bob stopped responding to comments on this channel, but that's not the case. Thank you, Bob the Canadian, for your feedback. Today I again feel like a schoolboy who for the first time in his life got the highest score. Pretty good feeling, by the way. 😊👨‍🎓🤝

[qiupark]

My first impression was that this English teacher Bob the Canadian was a nice person and a professional teacher.😊 I’m under the impression that there’s some air pollution there from the wildfires, but it looks nothing.😮

[freddywolf]

Hi Bob,
I have a little question about watering the flower beds, in a severe drought like right now. 🌻🪷🌺 Where does the water come from for watering? 💧🪣
In case of lack of water, is it possible and allowed to take water from the river that runs along your property?
Thanks a lot and best wishes from North-eastern France where it hasn't rained for over 3 weeks now, the soil is completely dry and cracked! 😎🌞🏜
By the way, almost 100 French firefighter have been sent to Canada in order to help the fighting against the catastrophic fires in your country.
With the aid of many other countries firefighters 🚒 I hope that will help to extinguish most of the fires.
See you!

[ariohandoyo]

My first impression about you was:
This guy teach English in a fun way i should subscribed to his channel.
I was under the expressiob that your channel wouldn't as fun as i though but i was wrong about it.😊

[andrespadron]

There is a utility pole that has an electric transformer in front of your house. Is that only for your property? It was my first impression because I did not see many cables conected to the transformer.

[KonstantinEgorovSpb]

I've always been under the impression that the first impression counts, but sometimes it's deceptive (not in your case though)😉 Btw, do you believe in the weather forecast absolutely? It's often a castle in the air here🌞🌧☔

[farahmalik]

Under the allusion and under the impression are same. Are they?

[relaxationclub]

You should come here to Saudi arabia, it hasn't been raining for months😭😂

[albert]

Sometimes English phrases are literally translated into Russian. I think both languages took them from French.
