Many things can blow us away. This feeling of amazement can happen when someone does something nice for us. Or we might feel blown away when we see something amazing. When was the last time that you were blown away? What happened?

I hardly get blown away. Nobody surprises me _ Right now, my middle brother is having exams, senior high schools. We’ll be expecting his marks soon. I hope he’ll blow me away positively with his marks. I wish him all the luck and success in the world.
