有很多事情是我们一心想要做的，比如想申请某所心仪的大学，或者一心想进入某家公司工作，又或者一直都想去某个国家旅行，我们特别想做的事太多太多了，那除了最老套的”I really want to do something”，还有没有其他表达方式呢？我们听听今天Joy and Chris介绍的习语吧！

C: Hi guys. I’m Chris.
 
J: And I’m Joy. The idiom we are showing you today is: have one’s heart set on something. It means to want something very much. It’s usually used to express when you desire something or expect something to happen. You can use it like this:
I have my heart set on it. / She has had her heart set on it.
 
C: Yup. With this idiom, instead of saying “I really want something”, you can say “I have my heart set on something”. For example, you haven’t traveled for a long time so you’ve saved up some money to go traveling in Europe. You can say that you have your heart set on visiting Europe.
 
J: That’s right. This happens pretty often for me. Once I have my heart set on a new purse, I’ll never forget it until I have it in my closet.
 
C: That’s a good way to use the idiom. Now let’s see how we can use it in a conversation:

 

 
J: Whoa Aiden, when did you get the new laptop?
 
C: I just bought it on the internet last week. I’ve had my heart set on it for quite a while. They just had a crazy sale last week so I snatched it up.
 

 

J: Do you have your hearts set on learning English? We are here for you if you need any help!
 
C: Yep, and remember to share our content with your friends and family! Talk to you next time! Bye!
