PE 10/28 A Practice Strategy

* come along: to progress; proceed; accompany

ex> Matthew is coming along well with his trampoline skills.

ex> We’re going to the lake. Would you like to come along?

* go in circles: to make no progress due to lack of direction

ex> I’m going in circles with this math problem.

Note> If you go round in circles when you are discussing something or trying to achieve something, you do not make any progress because you keep going back to the same subjects or the same problems.

*  uphill climb: a project or duty requiring much time and effort

ex> My university studies were one uphill climb after another.

* Rome wasn’t built in a day. : Big goals take a long time to achieve.

ex> Tell the customer that Rome wasn’t built in a day: their order is complicated.

* in your dreams: it will never happen; your wish is unrealistic

ex> In your dreams. I don’t date men with cheesy pick-up lines.

ex> You want success without working for it? In your dreams.

* bite your tongue: refrain from saying something unlucky or offensive

ex> Bite your tongue! I’m sure there will still be seats left when we get there.

Note> If you bite your tongue, you cannot speak. Biting one’s tongue would definitely prevent saying something that would later be regretted.
