One of Elton John’s most famous songs is ‘The way you look tonight’. Let’s listen to the chorus:
And I can't explain
But it's something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
It's that feeling I get about you, deep inside
Let’s read the lyrics together.
In this song, Elton John sings the phrase ’something about’. In English, we use ‘something about’ to refer to something we find attractive. For example:
There is something about Apple computers that I find stylish.
There was something about her eyes that night that made me fall in love with her.
I am sure there will be something about Paris that you will remember forever.
Elton John also uses the phrase ‘takes my breath away’. In English, this phrase is used to talk about something very beautiful. For example:
The view from the top of the mountain took my breath away.
Now please use either the phrase ‘there is something about’ or ‘take my breath away’ in the following sentences.
Question 1
__________ Tokyo that I love. I guess it’s the fast-paced lifestyle.
Question 2
Your singing __________. I didn’t know you have such a great voice!
Question 3
I can’t explain it. __________ her eyes that makes her so attractive to me.
