Phần 6: English in a Minute: Strike a Chord

When you strike a chord in music, you play several notes at the same time.

So, are Anna and Andrew going to play music?

I hope so!

I love Amelia Earhart.

Her life really struck a chord with me.

Really?

But she was a pilot, and you're afraid of flying.

No, her flying career didn't strike a chord, she loved hot chocolate

and so do I!

When something strikes a chord with you, it causes a strong reaction, usually because you identify with it.

Striking a chord can also mean that you're reminded of something familiar.
