15 分钟Hi there,
this is Harry and welcome back to Advanced English Lessons with Harry where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the English language.
So this particular lesson is an advanced English lesson and it's all to do with vocabulary and expressions that you can use when somebody is annoying you or when you're angry or annoyed with or about with somebody or about something that has happened.
So I've given you in total 12 expressions and phrases that you can use.
And as always, if you want to get some more information, if you need some more examples,
then you can write to me, www.englishlessonvia skype.com, and I'll gladly help you.
So number one, to get on your nerves.
Well, when somebody gets on your nerves, they really annoy you.
It could be because of some habit they have.
You know, there's always something about somebody that we don't like.
Nobody is 100% perfect, not even me.
So when somebody does something, for example,
they click their teeth like that or they drum their fingers on the table when they're thinking or they scratch their head or whatever they do,
they have habits and often those habits we can find to be quite annoying so we can say oh you know that habit he has oh it gets on my nerves i really must tell him not to do it so people who have habits that annoy us they get on our nerves number two to get under your skin well when somebody gets under your skin it's
like it's really annoying okay so oh that guy as soon
as he talks to me or even touches me oh it makes me sick he just gets under my skin but it usually means that somebody doesn't have to try very hard to annoy you
because they just happen to do it.
Often when we work in teams in our office, we get on well with most people,
but occasionally there happens to be one guy or one girl in the office.
For some reason, whatever it is, they just get under your skin.
