Did you know that the fifth most popular emoji in 2021 was the pleading face emoji? This is the emoji with the big eyes which are looking at you and you can imagine they are asking you for something. This emoji is also called puppy dog eyes. Can you guess why we use this expression? It's very simple! Think of a puppy and how it looks up at its owner with his big eyes asking for attention and as humans we often make a similar expression when we really want something. When someone makes a face like this, we say they've got puppy dog eyes!

Now listen to the slower version and type what you hear into the text box.
