Hello everyone!
My name is Steve Ford and since spring has arrived
I'm going to teach you some idioms related to color!
The cherry trees behind me line the streets of Vancouver
and cherry blossoms are in full bloom
As you can see the color is, well, PINK
So that's my first idiom for today
and it's a good one
It means you're very pleased, delighted, excited
So for example: My parents were tickled pink when they found out I'd won the lottery
Our next idiom is based on the color red!
Lots of red tulips here in Vancouver right now
Red often represents strong emotions like love and anger
In fact when you're seeing red, it means that you're really angry
Most people get all red-faced and start huffing and puffing.....
the only guy I know who turn red when he's angry is Gollum
Yes! Yes! Gollum! That's our name!
Hey Gollum! Do you want the ring? hmm?
My precious!
My next idiom for today is "to be green" which is to be new at something
inexperienced, a rookie or a novice
So if you have a teacher or boss who is green, they don't have any previous experience
Hi! My name is Mr. Finkle!
and today we're gonna be learning......ah...........grammar
um........oh!
and.uh.today we're gonna be learning the present perfect
so everybody open your books to page 49
and.um.who would like to start?
oh...uh..uh...I gues that would be me!
so everybody repeat after me
present perfect
very good..uh........goodbye!
The last 2 idioms are some of my fav's
When something happens out of the blue, it means unexpectedly
Maybe an old friend finds you on some social network
out of the blue and sends you a message
That means rarely and don't just trust profile pictures of people that may be 20 or 30 years old
Well everyone! That's all for today
and I hope you enjoyed my lesson about idioms related to colors
Of course, there are tons more and feel free to post your comments
