Are you familiar with the expression “the name of the game”? It’s neither about baseball nor football.

I dropped my phone in water. A friend of mine, who was there with me when that happened, just looked at me and said “Oops…” That was a real disaster, but she is an optimist. She said, “Look on the bright side. You can now justify getting a new one.”

I went to see a doctor yesterday. I didn’t feel well. I felt a little feverish. I had a headache, a stuffy nose, and no appetite. The doctor said I had a cold and prescribed me some medicine. Having a cold is bad enough, but it could have been worse. Thank God it’s not the flu.

Last week I talked about Kodak’s bankruptcy and said that I had seen the movie “Super 8”.

Well, the movie is not really my cup of tea, but if you’re looking for some movies to keep your children quiet for a couple of hours, it could be a choice. You may like it yourself, too.

I talked about the phrasal verb “to get rid of” on twitter when President Trump suggested the filibuster rule should be gotten rid of. I want to discuss it here again in case you missed it there.

Today you’ll learn how to use the idiom “to call it a day”.

To call it a day means to stop doing whatever you’re doing for the rest of that day, whether or not it is completed.

Today, I’m going to talk about the idiom “to take the plunge” which has the opposite meaning to the one we discussed last week “to get cold feet”.

I was walking down the street in the neighborhood. There were two girls walking just in front of me. One of the girls was wearing a tee shirt with a phrase printed on the back saying “We are on the same page!”.

Today we’re going to look at the word “access“.

If you have access to something such as information or equipment, it means you have the opportunity or right to see it or use it. If you have access to a building, it means you are able or allowed to go into that building.
