to be deeply impressed by · to be strongly affected by
Imagine you've just arrived in a new city or country, and something instantly grabs your attention and leaves a strong impression on you. ✨ This expression is perfect for sharing that 'wow' moment when a place, a view, or even a local custom deeply affects you.
💡 You'll often hear this in the passive voice, like "I was struck by the kindness of the locals." It's great for emphasizing how something genuinely moved you, rather than just saying you "liked" it. It suggests a powerful, often unexpected, emotional or sensory impact! 🤩
When would you most appropriately use 'to be struck by something'? A. 🍽️ When you casually enjoy a meal. B. 🏞️ When you're deeply moved by a beautiful landscape. C. 🚶♀️ When you quickly pass by a famous landmark.
