Listen "Episode 72 Vocabulary Words To Describe Looking At Things"
Episode Synopsis
We have covered words for looking before. In Episode 28 we covered watch, see and look. However this time we're looking at more nuanced words that you might hear or come across when you're reading such as Glance, Gaze, Glare and Glower.
These words often have an implied meaning about an emotion or a way that we have looked.
See you tomorrow when we'll be looking at phrasal verbs using 'look'.
Today's Words
Glance - to look quickly at something
Gaze - to look for a long time at something, someone or nothing
Glare - to look and someone angrily
Glower - also to look at someone angrily but this time you might not actually be angry with them, you're just generally angry about something.
Notice - to see something and recognise that it is there
Observe - to see something and then pay very close attention to it and watch to see what happens next
Spot - to see something that you wanted to see or were looking forward to seeing, could be a thing or person
Lock eyes - to maintain eye contact with someone for a longer than normal period.
Additional Vocabulary
something to bear in mind - to keep something in mind
manifest - to bring something into being, in this case the emotion exists on their face but that may be misleading
interact - to talk with or communicate with someone or several people
shifting our vision - 'shifting' just means 'moving' here, so changing what we're looking at
