English in a Minute: What Makes Someone Tick

HOST: Welcome to English in a Minute!
HOST: Some clocks tick. That is how you know they work. But what makes a person tick…?
A: Dan, we’ve been working together for a while. But I feel like I don’t know you.
B: Well, I don’t talk about myself that much at work.
A: I know you love pickle ball. But who is … “Dan”?
B: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
A: What does he want? What does he care about? I want to know what makes Dan tick.
HOST: The things that make someone tick are the things that cause them to behave in a certain way. They are a person’s feelings, dreams, hopes, opinions, fears, … everything!
HOST: And that’s English in a Minute!---------
