...Until We Meet Again

Well, this is it:  the very last post of the semester and of 2014.

 

The idioms we've had the past couple of weeks are:

 

• to be snowed under
• to work your fingers to the bone
• to bring home the bacon
• to be a number cruncher

We had these tongue twisters (https://soundcloud.com/alemany-teach/fall-2014-final-pronunciation):

           Four furious friends fought for the phone.

            There was a young fisher named Fischer
            Who fished for a fish in a fissure.
            The fish with a grin,
            Pulled the fisherman in;
            Now they’re fishing the fissure for Fischer.
 

            Freshly fried flying fish

             Freshly fried fresh flesh

            A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
            Said the flea, “Let us fly!“
            Said the fly, “Let us flee!“
            So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
            Friendly Frank flips fine flapjacks
 
            Fat frogs flying past fast at five to five (4:55)

            Flee from fog to fight flu fast!

            Fred fed Ted bread, and Ted fed Fred bread.

            I am not the pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s mate. I am only 

            plucking pheasants ’cause the pheasant plucker’s running late.
 

  We talked a lot about punctuation.  If you want to practice go here.

Here are some words we learned.
