Unit 1
I really like
to own up to
to accept responsibilty
a big deal
really important
lose your cool
you get angry
"I don't get it" means
I don't understand
run of the mill
normal
couldn't help myself
I really had to do this
to have a minor case of the jitters
to be a little bit nervous
if someone "makes a big issue" of something that means that they
pay too much attention to something unimportant
If someone is reacting strongly about something you can say
"don't take it so hard"
I'll keep my fingers crossed
I hope this happens
make it up to someone
fix something because you treated a person badly
just chill
calm down, relax
to "bring something up" is to
discuss something
If you did something silly you might say
"I made a fool of myself"
that might be overkill
that is too much
cut it out
stop doing that
to be nervous
If you "took it out on a person" you need to apologize to that person because you got
angry
If no one liked your joke you can say
"It went over like a lead balloon"
I don't want to take any chances
I am not going to take a risk
that's not the worst of it
there's more negative information about it
with all my heart
really love
if you "try to pick up the pieces" after an argument that means
try to reestablish a friendly atmosphere
"it just isn't done"
