If you're doing online dating in the English-speaking world, you might see people talking about their "icks."

This is a slang word — icks are things that give you "a sudden feeling that you dislike someone" or are no longer attracted to them, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

Icks are not always really big things. Being rude to an employee at a store, for example, might be an ick for someone, or eating with your mouth open.

People will often say they "got the ick" when they noticed something about a person that made them feel they were no longer attracted to them.

If they get to that point, it may be hard for them to feel attracted again!

If you're looking through dating profiles on an app, the most common ick is people who are negative or bitter.

That's according to a survey for Forbes Health. One thousand Americans who had used a dating app in the last year were asked about their dating habits.

And about 70% said people who are negative or bitter in their bios, perhaps about a previous relationship, give them the ick.

Other common icks include people with edited photos, people who are too interested in their possessions, and people with bad spelling or grammar.

And when using the apps, daters often make their decisions quite quickly.

According to the survey, the average person takes about two-and-a-half minutes to make a decision about whether they like a person or not.

So what makes daters attractive to others? Having a profile that shows a good sense of humor is a good thing, according to 80% of people.

The same number said they like people who have hobbies and interests, while many others like people who are interested in travel — or who show a pet in their photo!

Speaker: Princess Elizabeth was born in London in 1926. She grew up in London with her younger sister and they were educated at home. She was not expected to become queen when she was born, but in 1936, her uncle King Edward VIII gave up the throne and her father became King George the Sixth. As she had no brothers, Elizabeth would become the next ruler.

Speaker: In 1947, she got engaged to her third cousin, Philip Mountbatten. In 1952, while she was visiting Kenya, the death of King George was announced, and Elizabeth returned immediately to England. She was crowned at Westminster Abbey on the second of June, 1953. For the first time ever, the ceremony was shown on TV and watched by millions of people around the world.

Speaker: Elizabeth’s role as queen was mostly ceremonial: she opened Parliament, met government ministers and signed new laws. However, she was not allowed to express her own political opinions. She also represented Great Britain abroad, visiting countries in the Commonwealth and other nations around the world. The Queen was always instantly recognizable in her classic outfit of matching dress, coat, hat and handbag.

Speaker: Elizabeth loved dogs - corgis were her favorite breed. She also bred and raced horses. Every year at Christmas, the Queen spoke to the nation on TV. In 1992, she described a particularly difficult year, as several of her children’s marriages broke up and a fire destroyed part of her home in Windsor Castle.

Speaker: Elizabeth celebrated many anniversaries and became the longest serving king or queen in British history. Some people felt that a royal family was too expensive for the country, so after 2012, she reduced spending and received less money from the government. Many people continued to find the royal family interesting, as shown by the popularity of TV shows about the Queen and her family, such as The Crown.

Speaker: Philip died in 2021 and the Queen died a year later. Her son became King Charles the Third...

Quelques expressions avec "être" (première partie)

나의 친구 강아지

작년 봄, 저는 강아지 한 마리를 만났어요.
친구가 “보리”라는 강아지를 잠깐 맡아 달라고 했어요.
처음에는 무서웠지만, 보리를 보고 마음이 바뀌었어요.
보리는 작고 귀여운 갈색 강아지였어요.

보리는 저를 처음 봤을 때 조용히 다가왔어요.
손을 살짝 핥고, 꼬리를 흔들었어요.
그때 저는 '아, 이 강아지는 착하구나'라고 생각했어요.
그날부터 우리는 친구가 되었어요.

보리와 함께 산책도 하고, 공놀이도 했어요.
제가 공을 던지면 보리는 달려가서 물고 왔어요.
매일 아침 보리와 산책하는 시간이 정말 좋았어요.

어느 날, 제가 감기에 걸려서 아팠어요.
침대에 누워 있을 때, 보리가 제 옆에 조용히 앉았어요.
보리의 따뜻한 몸이 제 마음까지 따뜻하게 만들었어요.
그때 저는 보리가 단순한 동물이 아니라 진짜 친구라고 느꼈어요.

지금은 보리가 다시 친구 집으로 돌아갔어요.
하지만 보리와 함께한 시간은 제게 소중한 추억이에요.
언젠가 다시 보리를 만나고 싶어요.
