Английский учителя - та самая одёжка, по которой встречают. Чтобы она была красивой, я уделаю своему языку довольно много времени. Предлагаю вам список полезных выражений из книг и с занятий, которые привлекли мое внимание за последнее время.
Что с ними делать? Вот моя инструкция:
Прочитать и решить, актуальны ли они для вас
Выписать актуальные в ваше особенное место: карточки, треугольники на столе, блокнотик и оставить на видном месте
Поискать примеры в разных источниках, сделать свои примеры
Стараться использовать при любой возможности
Итак, выражения:
Eat your ˈwords Be forced to admit that what you have said before was wrong:

ite off more than you can chew, you try to do a task that is too big for you or too difficult.

danger or problems are barely avoided.
