For this homework you will need the help of an adult. You're probably best talking to an older relative, perhaps your grandparents. I would like you to bring into school a collection of popular cliches and expressions. I'm after things like: "under the weather" "put on a brave face" "pushing your luck" "given up the ghost" "got an axe to grind" "not enough room to swing a cat" "over the top" "taken for a ride" Write any that you find down and bring your collections into school. In school we'll be talking about what these phrases mean and where they come from. |
