DICTATION

The English idiom ❛the icing on the cake❜ is ❛something that makes a good situation even better❜ - just like how real icing makes a good cake taste even better! Here are two examples using this expression:

I like school, but learning math with Mr. Enkel is the icing on the cake.

I was happy to move to our neighborhood. Having a playground across the street was the icing on the cake.

What could you describe as being ❛the icing on the cake❜ about going to your school?

Proverbs, idioms and more

This week’s proverb is:

to have ants in your pants

ants

If you ❛have ants in your pants❜, you are ❛not able to sit still❜ because you are excited or worried about something. Here are two examples using this English idiom:
Donald had ants in pants because he knew that he had to make a presentation at school.
Hana had ants in her pants because she couldn’t wait for the arrival of her grandma and grandpa.
Do people who are nervous or excited about something really look like they ❛have ants in their pants❜?

I want you to watch the next video, and do something similar.

Don’t forget to have fun!
