Today i’ve got very special lesson for you .I’ve got my fellow teacher Chris.

Chris and I have got a really interesting video planned for you today. It’s going to be all about our top 5 favorite idioms. So, I’ve got my top 5 and he’s got his top 5 the first half is here on my channel and then the second half will be on Chris’s channel. So, as soon as you finish the first half. here click on the link in the description head over to Chris’s channel and you can watch the second half there as well.

Okay, so, Chris and I have made a list of each of our top 5 favourite idioms and we’re going to talk them through with you today.

So, do you want to start on 5? I would love to. Yeah ,my number 5 idiom is not my cup of tea. And we use this to describe things that we don’t like or we’re not interested in. My best example would be that, as a huge fan of sports such as football. I don’t actually like golf. It’s not interesting for me. SSo, I would say golf isn’t my cup of tea. Okay, so for me I love gin. But, run really isn’t my cup of tea that’d be good. It would include mine area. Okay, easy, so, my number 5 is to beat around the bush. If you beat around the bush you avoid talking about a specific topic or problem. So, an example would be, Chris I know t-shirt it’s I don’t beat around the bush group. So, you just say: Okay, I hate your t-shirt. I’m sorry. So, I was beating around the bush. Then I was avoiding saying the real problem and this is something that British people do a lot with very polite be party.

Okay, so, what’s a number four my number four India is to move the goal posts and this describes a situation when someone’s trying to do something and someone else changes the rules or the objectives. Making it more difficult, it might happen at work or maybe in your studies where you’re trying to complete a task or a project and someone changes.

The rules. So, they change what they want you to do. They move the goal posts they’ve made it more difficult for you. That’s very frustrating. It is they don’t move Michael. I see it wouldn’t burn. Yeah, right, my number four is as good as gold. And if someone is as good as gold it means that they’re very nice and very well behaved. So, when I was young my mom always used to tell me that I was as good as gold.

I’m sure she could. I was so well-behaved. Do you believe that? of course. Looks good. Good my number three idiom is something. Is a piece of cake and this means that it is really easy. For example, if you want to learn English then learning English through Lucy’s YouTube channel. Learning English becomes a piece of cake. That way. ah, thank you Chris. Okay, so, that’s it for this half of the lesson.
