Today’s
agenda:
· Idioms
· Test#4- process writing
Idioms:

the kitchen.

NEW WORD: hangry – feel angry because you are 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.

It’s better to study a little bit every day than to try to
