F2F Class Notes November 16th (Ben)

Demo StudentFrank

I come from a big country, but I don’t come from the city, I come from the country and I like country music.

  1. country = nation, state
  2. country = province, countryside
  3. country = folk, traditional

Nothing serious / No big deal

If you trip in the street, it’s no big deal. Just stand up and keep moving. If your mother falls sick, it’s a pretty big deal.

Speaking of the devil…

说曹操，曹操就到

Polls often don’t reflect reality.

Clinton was backed by 249 media (press, newspapers, TV channels, radio…), Trump was backed by only 6.

I don’t care = I have no horse in this race.

I always like it with someone throws the cat among the pigeons = disturbs a group’s habits

stand someone up = 放鸽子

disarray = mess

Don’t let the children disarray the class.

When his wife left him, his life fell into disarray.

sack = fire

He was sacked from his job last week, no his life is in disarray.

handle = manage = deal with

We need to handle the situation.

a tycoon = a successful businessman = a fat cat
