EF34 11am June 15

 

 

Good morning, everybody.

We will get started at 11:00.

Cameras on. Mics muted.

 

Today’s agenda:

 

·      Idioms

·      Test#4- process writing

 

 

Idioms:

 

-hit the roof  - get angry

My mother hit the roof when she saw the big mess we made in the kitchen.

 

angry / hungry- sound similar

NEW WORD: hangry – feel angry because you are hungry

starving – very very hungry

I could eat a horse. I’m starving.

Babies and little kids get hangry. You always have to have snacks with you.

 

-hit the hay - Go to sleep. Take a nap.

It’s 9 o’clock. It’s time to hit the hay.

I’m so tired today that I am going to hit the hay early tonight.

It is very comfortable to sleep in hay. It can be very itchy.

 

-hit the road- leave, time to go

It’s 5 o’clock. I have to hit the road. I have to go.

We’re going to hit the road tomorrow morning at 8am.

 e.g. going on a trip, leaving work, leaving a party

Sheryl said that she has to hit the road at 3.

 

 

-hit the books – study, read

I have a math tomorrow. I have to hit the books tonight.

I have to cram for the test. 

cram – study everything the night before

I haven’t cracked a book all term. I haven’t opened my book all term.

I have to pull an all-nighter.

pull an all-nighter- working  or studying all night to get ready for a test or something to do with work

 

I pulled an all-nighter last night cramming for the math exam. I hit the books all night.

 

It’s better to study a little bit every day than to try to cram at the last minute.

 

-hit the sack – sleep, go to bed, same ‘hit the hay’

 

-hit the nail on the head – exactly right, I agree

I agree with you. You hit the nail on the head. What you said is correct.

 

fingernail, toenail
