to be attached to something to like something very much My little brother is so attached to his phone that he checks it every five minutes, even when he should be studying. |  | reward a thing that you get in exchange for good behaviour or good work, etc. Turning off notifications while doing homework was hard, but the reward was finishing early and having more free time. |  | tempting If something is tempting, you want to do or have it. It's so tempting to check my phone every time I get a message, even when I know I need to concentrate.

to distract to take someone's attention away from what that person is doing Music helps me focus, but sometimes my favourite songs distract me because I start singing along. |  | to miss out to fail to use an opportunity to enjoy or get an advantage from something I spent the whole party texting and missed out on having real fun with my friends. |  | to keep up with something to learn about or be aware of the news, current events, etc. I check social media to keep up with my favourite music artists and their new releases.

| constantly all the time or often My friends constantly text me during class, and it's so hard not to check my phone. |  | to interrupt to stop someone from speaking by saying or doing something, or to cause an activity or event to stop for a short period of time Please, don't interrupt me when I am working. It is hard to concentrate on a task after a break. |
