Hello, I'm Faye Faye and with me in the studio is Finn hello do you feel a bit tired Finn? Well I do what a party yesterday. Yeah it was good wasn't it great food

Plenty to drink now

Forgive me for being nosy, but you said you were too busy working to have a love life.

So, who was that beautiful woman you were with?

Ah, that was, uh, just a girl I know.

Come on, Finn, don't be so mysterious.

Everybody was looking at her.

She looked like a supermodel. it serious no offense but how did you

manage to attract a woman like that what do you mean I'm very, but she's not my girlfriend. Just some eye candy then?

Uh, that's not fair. I mean, yes, she's beautiful, but eye candy means someone who is attractive but not very interesting.

I know just teasing. It sounds like you like her.

Uh, okay then I do quite like her. Oh you admitted it. I know. We can also use eye candy to talk

about things which look good but are not very useful. Let's hear some examples.

I was going out with this gorgeous footballer,

but it didn't last. He was just eye candy.

This illustrated cookbook looks good, but you can never find the ingredients for the recipes. These

pictures are just eye candy.
