After all the fires we’ve had recently, the rainstorm was a blessing in disguise.
A angel disguised as a person
Something that appears bad at first, but ends up being good
Something disguised as something else
A free gift
When my friend told me I could trust her I said, “Actions speak louder than words.”
What you do is more important than what you say.
What you say is more important than what you do.
You shouldn't move your hands when you speak.
You should use hand movements when you speak.
Stop beating around the bush and tell me why you came home late.
To ambush someone.
Avoid saying what you mean, because it's uncomfortable
to hit a small tree with a stick
To become very angry about something.
The craft we worked on in art class was a piece of cake.
Something unhealthy
A piece of cake
To offer food to a poor person
an easy task to complete
A new iPad costs an arm and a leg.
Something which you can only buy with body parts
Very expensive
Paying off a debt in small amounts each week
Very cheap
The yellow pencils on my desk are a dime a dozen.
Very yellow
Very expensive
Something common
Not common at all
When my friend arrived late to the meeting because she spilled coffee all over her shirt, I said to her, “Better late than never.”
Better to be early
Better to arrive late than not to come at all
I guess I need to bite the bullet and go talk to the principal.
To get something over with
To eat something made of metal
To be happy to talk
To eat something crunchy
Break a leg tonight!
Good luck
Try not to fall
Don't get hurt
I hope you fall down
Thank goodness, it’s time to call it a day!
Say it's a great day
Call your mom at home
Call your best friend's home
End your day, go home
He’s new to our class, cut him some slack!
Cut him a stack of papers
Don't be so nice
Cut him a slice of pizza
Don’t be so critical, judgemental.
If you want to do well on this project, it’s important to not cut any corners.
Drive carefully around a corner
Concentrate on something
Tip toe around a corner
Skip steps, sometimes to save time or money
When I was learning how to skateboard my brother said to me, “Easy does it!”
Go fast
Slow down
Go super super super super fast
Go super super super super duper fast
The substitute teacher told the principal, “When the bell rang, the class got out of hand.”
Hands are cold
Get out of control
Get quiet
Pick up something
When the student kept asking if he could color a picture, the teacher said, “Yes go ahead so you can get it out of your system.”
Do the thing you’ve been wanting to do so you can move on
Color beautifully
Color patiently
Work on a math project
You better get your act together or you’re going to get a minor.
Get in trouble
Practice your acting skills
Do better
Do well in a play
