You might need cheering up if you were sad, or if some bad things had happened.

The weather can be miserable if it is grey, and you can have a miserable time if things go badly. People can also be miserable if they are sad or depressed

E.g. learning a language, difficult exercises or homework, practical jobs like cooking or making things, managing money, physical tasks like climbing a mountain

You need to warm up before you do exercise.

You might sort out a problem, a difficult situation, a disagreement, rubbish, recycling, car hire, etc

People might boast about anything they are proud of, e.g. doing well in an exam, being very good at something, having a lot of money or nice things.

Something you are really bad at, e.g. sports, school subjects, practical jobs, etc.

Practise = you do the same thing over and over to get better at it. When you play something, you usually do it as a competition, in a game with someone else.

You shake hands to greet someone, but you hold hands with someone you love, or with a child to make sure they are safe.

If you are fed up it means you have had enough of something, or you are bored. You are upset if something bad has happened, or if someone has been unkind.

You would rush somebody to hospital if they were very ill or had been injured in a serious accident.

You might feel guilty if you think you have behaved badly or done something wrong, e.g. if you didn’t help someone when they needed it

A baby, a train or bus or anything that has a timetable can be due. It means we expect them to arrive.
