Unit 3

Have no intention of

Responsible enough to be in charge

Prospect of changes at work makes Sheila

Mind keeping your mobile phones

Took an hour to fix the engine

Not in the habit of training so

Unwise not to wear

Confess that our appointment completely slipped

To say that you may be eligible

Try to do the exercise, you may find

May benefit from

Went on his speech despite the fact

Would rather work

Will probably need to be serviced

Are believed to be going through with

For fear of them taking

Appreciate your letting us know about

Couldn’t envisage what life would be like

The risk of losing all your savings

Don’t feel like going

Believe you would dare to swim

Had just locked the door when

Was kind of you to send her flowers

Recent friendliness towards you has not escaped

A pleasure to meet

On the go

Even skip lunch completely

Should time off for lunch

From the point of view

A generation or two ago

Work straight through

A thing of the past

Give lunch a miss

Let’s all chip in and buy

Brought off the business

His new song caught on right away

Don’t forget to bring up the matter

CBN has just brought out

Tradition has been carried over

Brought up by his

Brought the unconscious woman around with

Cold weather brought on his cough

That law was brought in to

The young actress carried off the performance

Carry on with your work

Soldier carried out his orders

Negotiations have been carrying on for months

Carry his plan out

Always carrying on like lunatic

Catch up with her

Are asked to chair the meeting as the director

Passed her exam with flying colours

Showed his true colour – thow weight

Has the cheek to moan about

Look off colour

Keep his chins up despire chronic illness

Play your cards right and speak nicely

As different as chalk and cheese

Rude – calling me the names

Talk about it and get it off your chest

She got a bit under the collar – started criticizing

Very little money – on the dole

Boyfriend left- down in the dumps

12 June is a red – letter day

Looking for Susan – a wide goose chase

Can’t fool me with crocodile tears

Let sleeping dogs lie – don’t bring up that argument

The country is going to the dogs

The little boy was caught red – handed

The money went down the rain

Exulted in her son’s success

Economise on heating

Dream of becoming

Eligible for a full grant

Disregard for the commotion

Engrossed by the film

Entranced in the prima

Deficient in iron

Delighted with his promotion

Put the car in gear

For the time being

In the flesh

On a diet

Have a car on loan

Strictly off the record

Have been on strike

Out of the ordinary

An idiot to his face

Was in pain

At times

By all accounts

It ever crossed your mind to change

Is no comparison between these two

Is not limit to his criticizing

Are not used to eating

Does his appearance strike

Is devoid of

On the cards that he will be

Were over the moon when our first grandchild

Will be given the sack

Constantly finds fault with

Makes no difference to me whether you come

Are twice as many women as men
