| Phrase | impression |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "impression" means the way that one feels or thinks about someone or something, or the opinion one has of someone or something: "I've never seen Lake Superior, but I have the impression that it's a very beautiful place to visit." The phrase "first impression" refers to the way one is perceived at one's first meeting: "Our first impression of you was that you were really quiet and shy, but now we know that you just weren't feeling well that day." The phrase "to be under the impression" means to believe something that wasn't actually true: "I'm sorry I called you Mrs. Thompson, but I was under the impression that you were married." Finally, an "impression" is the mark made when something hard is pushed into something soft: "The folds in the pillowcase left an impression on her cheek." |
