Time Flies...






I can't believe we're half-way through the semester already!

This week our idioms are:

  • give it a go
  • give it a shot
  • go to bat for someone
  • fill me in
  • cheer up!
  • on the other hand
Do you know what they mean?

You can practice the other vocabulary we learned here.

And here are 5 tongue twisters: (Remember these are silly sayings that work on your pronunciation.  They don't make any sense!)




1.     Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?



2.    Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy  
      Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?




3.    How many cookies could a good cook cook if a good cook could cook cookies? A good cook could cook as much cookies as a good cook who could cook cookies.




4.    How many cans can a cannibal nibble, if a cannibal can nibble cans? As many cans as a cannibal can nibble if a cannibal can nibble cans.




5.      I thought, I thought of thinking of thanking you.




6.     Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,  Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
