Howdy to all you curious readers!
Today, we will look at 5 slang terms/idioms. I will write them below, and then you try to match them with their meaning. I'll put the answers at the very bottom of this post. Enjoy!
Remember, mistakes are okay and a great way to learn! You can read about making mistakes in an earlier post right here.
Good luck!

The sky was quite beautiful here last night, so I took this picture. You could try to describe the colours to practice your English.
