Distracted vs Carried Away

I’m teaching you the difference between “getting distracted” and “getting carried away” because in one of my morning classes today, my student kept receiving messages from her office and, naturally, couldn’t concentrate. Therefore, she asked me how she can describe the situation in English, and I said “Your phone is distracting you,” or “You get distracted.” Later on, when we were doing a listening exercise, I noticed I had forgotten to pause and check her answer to the first question because I was focusing on the appealing topic of the listening itself, and found it a good opportunity to teach her “getting carried away” on the spot as well. #learnenglish #teachingenglish #vocabulary
