Today's piece of vocabulary is "to strike a chord", which means to cause someone to feel sympathy, emotion, or enthusiasm. For instance,
"the issue of food safety strikes a chord with almost everyone"

Don't forget that "strike" is an irregular verb, so in the past tense this becomes "struck", as in "your speech really struck a chord with me".
