Hi Raton ☺️. You're most welcome 😊.

Hello. I will tell you some school stories. I had a second shift in the 3rd class. I went to dance classes right after school. I racked my brain over my homework after dance classes. I pulled all-night. A few days ago we wrote a Math test. When we wrote the test I drew a blank. I bomb the test and had a bad mark. I like Literature very much. One day our teacher told us to learn a poem by heart. And I forgot to do it at home. But for me learn poems with flying colours. And I had 10. That were my school stories, which were the most interesting for me. Bye!

I used to hit books when I was in primary school and I passed all exams with flying colours. When I liked the teacher, I learned the topics from my heart. I remember when I was a teenager I read additional books at night, I liked to be like the great scientist who have burned the midnight oil. In the last years of high school, my results went bad I flunk test after test. Only when I went to university I experienced a "pull an all-nighter" day before the exam all of my colleagues came to my dormitory room and we put our heads together because we didn't like to bomb tomorrow test so burning candles on both ends was one of my bad habits. In addition, I was one of the student union members so I cut almost many of my classes to play hooky. when I was at university ace a test was a far dream for me.

Hi Jen, an awfully attractive assortment of idioms. I´m sorry to say that I am not familiar with them except with one that I learn, long ago when I just started to learn English: "learning something by heart, aprender de memoria". I remember when I was a boy, leaning by heart the solutions of multiply numbers for example, in those day there were no calculators, and also learning by heart the use of verbs in English by hitting grammar books as much as possible. Now I burn the midnight oil some times by listening to CBC news: World Report, Podcasts and others, which is an awesome way to learn more and better understand to native speakers. Thanks for your great lesson👏🏼. Enjoy a nice week🍁🌷

Hi Santiago 🇪🇸 ☀️. Thanks for your nice comment 💐. I am glad this lesson was able to help you learn some new idioms and review one that you knew from before 🤗. To learn something by heart is a good idiom for the situation you described of memorizing the multiplication table as a kid. I remember getting annoyed at my teaching asking why we had to learn it when everyone had calculators. His response was that we won't always have a calculator with us... little did he know that literally everyone would constantly have a calculator with them almost all the time on their cellphones 😅. It is nice to hear that sometimes even now you burn the midnight oil to brush up on your English listening skills 👍🏻.

Thank you 🙏 you are the best.

I Learn by heart poem . That's why I bomb test . I hit the books to write the test. Sometimes I acea test .

Good morning Jen, well I always try my best but I never thought about my habits since I was forced to change them because of the computer but I usually hit the books when I studied especially when I have tests so when I study I usually hit the books and wrap my brains because I want to be able to have a future one day and it doesn’t really matter to me which grades I get because I’m not so obsessed with getting good grades but I want to have a good future so obviously I’m always hitting the books! When I draw blanks are usually ask my parents if they can help me or my friends! At the moment studying is pretty difficult because of my computers because it’s broken and I’m really not able to solve the problems! Yesterday while I was studying it started evil laughing and I don’t know why! My parents joke that it could be possessed but as I told you I do not believe in paranormal stuff! Obviously it’s hard because right now it keeps singing creepy songs in a language I don’t know! It’s not what it’s things that it’s so creepy! If it’s voice because it’s things in a very strange way and it’s just scares me sometimes but my parents and I are fighting so hard to fix it! So if you know someone who is an expert in Apple please let them know what’s wrong with my PC because I really don’t know what to do! VoiceOver doesn’t work properly And the problem is that basically there are strange voices in voiceover which are often used for comedy or at least that’s what the Apple support said that basically activate them selves automatically without me doing anything and it also creates files automatically! Files I have never created and it start copying them and since these files keep duplicating it’s basically impossible to work so please ask someone if you know them because if you know someone who is an expert in Apple maybe they can help me! Explain what’s wrong to them! Unfortunately I cannot play it for you! If I could I would but there is no chance to do it so I can just write it to you but it basically has strange voices activating in themselves automatically! That’s all that’s going on and it’s really strange! It’s been going on for months now and the problem goes away and then comes right back again! School will start 15 September and I’m very worried because I don’t know if I will be able to read or write! If you know anyone please ask them! Thank you so much and thanks for helping me with my English and always being so kind to me! I hope you will visit my country soon because I want to meet you! I don’t know if you wish to meet me as well but I wish to meet you!

Hello Lara. Sorry to hear about all the difficulties you've been having with your computer. If you make an appointment and take it to a Genius Bar at an Apple store, they should be able to actually look at it and solve the problem for you. Whenever I've had a problem with my MacBook or iPhone that can't be solved on the phone with Apple support, physically going into the store with the item to get it looked at has always helped to solve the problem. I am not sure how the COVID situation in Italy is these days, but hopefully you can take your computer to an Apple store for tech support. Anyways, I hope your computer will stop making strange sounds soon and work properly. I also wish you all the best as you begin the new school year in a few days.

usually i pass english tests with flying colours and ace them. but in math test i always draw a blank. i always learn by heart literature poems. if we have russian test i hit the books and then rack my brain. when i come home after art i burn the midnight oil.

Hello 😁. Thanks for your nice comment. I usually share little bits about myself through my lessons, but I don't have any specific platform or anything just to share about myself or my life. I've honestly never thought that anyone would be that interested in learning about me personally 😅. In addition to delicious Japanese food, and a slightly nerdy love of video games and anime, I got really into Japanese culture through theatre. I did a double major in university and studied both English and Theatre. In one of my theatre classes I learned a bit about Kabuki, Bunraku, and Noh. From then I fell even more in love with Japanese culture and decided to move to Japan to teach English after graduating university. Once in Japan I kept learning more about the amazing culture and people. Are you into Japanese culture? Have you been to Japan? ☀️

Hi David 😎. Thanks for creating so many great sentences using the school idioms from this lesson 👍🏻. Allow me to make a few changes to some of your sentences to fix a couple of small grammar point which I hope you'll find helpful: I drew a blank on whom I met. I drew a blank as to what movie I watched. I drew a blank about what I ate. I drew a blank on what I said. I drew a blank as to what I took. I drew a blank about what I got. (Usually in English when we use the idiom "draw a blank" we either use it by itself. It is also possible add 'on' 'as to' or 'about' before the object.) I've been racking my brain as to where I put my keys. I've been racking my brain over where I kept the file (In English when we use the idiom "rack my brain" we can use it by itself, or if there's an object we add 'over' or 'as to') I burned the midnight oil to fix the issue. (Here you needed an infinitive or purpose, not a gerund) If you burn the candles at both ends, you may fall sick. (This is an example of a conditional sentence which you can learn more about in this lesson: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqauxrOBhKqceKg.html ) I got selected for the project and I passed with flying colours. (Don't forget to use a preposition.) The rest of your sentences were perfect 👍. Thank you for sharing ✨.

Hi Ikuo 😎 Thanks for another nice comment and quiz 😁. I like your use of two idioms when you said, "She must be a ray of sunshine for you and you must be the apple of her eye." 👍🏻 I never realized that I talked about my aunt so much. My aunt was the most important person in my life. Her and I were always very close and she was like a mother and best friend to me. I even lived with her during jr high and high school, and visited every second weekend and summers during university. Sadly, my aunt passed away a few years ago, but I still think about her every day and miss her dearly. She was one of the kindest and most encouraging people I've ever known. She had a great sense of humour and always gave good advice. I have many fond memories with her and often when I am filming a lesson and trying to come up with an example, my time with her comes to mind ❤️. Sorry for that long paragraph about my aunt. Since you often share many great things with me, I thought you wouldn't mind if I shared a bit with you about such an amazing woman. ✨ Anyways, let me say that I am extremely impressed that you hit the books for 3 hours every day! That is real dedication to studying English 🤩. Your English writing skills are excellent and I am so happy to read your comments on each video I create. If you are able to speak English even half as well as you write it, I believe you've already reached your goal 😉💪. I hardly ever notice any mistakes in your writing and it is rich with idioms and other great English expressions 👍🏻. Your quizzes are also great fun. To answer the riddle in your comment hear on the school idioms lesson, I believe the answer is ripped 😆. This quiz was especially good and humorous because of the double meaning of the word ripped 😊. Thanks for sharing 🤗. Take care 🌸.
