What does mean something to do by noticing?
Hi.
I have a question about the meaning of below sentence which is some conversation.
As you can see that below sentence, you can see that "And you do this by noticing".
This is my problem that I cant understand it exactly".
How can I understand about "something to do by noticing"?
As I understood, the meaning of "by noticing" is that something informs taken from other person.
I can't understand this phrase.
Neil
It's a well-known phrase, often associated with a famous person – like the one I used for Michael Caine earlier on! 'Not a lot of people know that.' So Jon is saying that it isn't enough to repeat a catchphrase or use another impersonator's ideas – you need to think of your own gags – or jokes.
Alice
And you do this by noticing and then exaggerating a person's tics. A tic is something you do often without realizing you're doing it, like using certain phrases or gestures – for example, scratching your head. Or in your case, Neil, wiggling your eyebrows.

Carter LeeSorry, it is hard to understand the usage "you do this by noticing".It should be clear to you by now that "you do this by noticing" is not the phrase you should be looking at. Take just "you do this", which is the first part. Do you understand what "this" is? Where it says "you do this", what are they talking about doing?
