I am giving a C1 presentation tomorrow for teens who are about to embark on their journey to sit the C1 exam next year. They will have abundant distractions so they will certainly have to go the extra mile…
I also used "not see the wood for the trees" in my C1 essay to sum up many negative details that would prevent people from understanding the main problem.
I took both your essential grammar course and the exam preparation one. Ben I couldn’t be more thankful to you. Thanks to your examples and teaching I managed to pass my C2 Proficiency Cambridge exam (208) From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!
Thanks Ben for all your videos! I have my C1 exam next week and I've been following your channel during all my studying process. I'll introduce a "to the point" expression in either the writing or the speaking part as a tribute to your channel ;)
Thank you for the new bunch of idioms and for the prɪvəsɪ! I always thought and used it as praɪvəsɪ and only today have looked into a dictionary realizing American and British diff in pronunciation.
Hi, Ben! Thanks a lot for reminding me of most of these useful and nice-sounding idioms and teaching me a few. Your work Is perfect. Greetings from Argentina 🎉
1. I always go the extra mile at work, because I would like to get a pay rise. 2. His addiction is only the tip of the iceberg. He has many more serious problems! 3. History often comes full circle, because many people not learn from their ancestors mistakes. 4. Their argument shed a light on severe problems in their relationship. 5. Cutting corners is the worst thing you can do, while learning language.
Thank you for another portion of vocabulary knowledge, Ben! You mentioned "read between the lines" and I was thinking about the expression "read the room".😂
Similar. But "back to square one" has a more negative connotation as it suggests a failure of some kind, resulting in the necessity of returning to the start of a process.

Great 👍
it's the same in German, same meaning, same phrasing: "den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht sehen"

1. I always go the extra mile at work, because I would like to get a pay rise.
2. His addiction is only the tip of the iceberg. He has many more serious problems!
3. History often comes full circle, because many people not learn from their ancestors mistakes.

Thank you for another portion of vocabulary knowledge, Ben! You mentioned "read between the lines" and I was thinking about the expression "read the room".😂
What does it mean by: Read the room?
"Read the room. " for me is to consider the atmosphere of the space, human emotions.
They both are idioms with different meaning
Don't cut corners when performing a surgery on the heart.
Hello Ben, thanks a million! Is "come full circle" similar to"back to square one"?
Similar. But "back to square one" has a more negative connotation as it suggests a failure of some kind, resulting in the necessity of returning to the start of a process.
Many thanks! I got an inkling they were different, but could not see it clearly
.keep up the good work, your videos are crystal clear and invaluable
If one does see the writing on the wall, it would be even more useful if read also between the lines.
You have to see the big picture
se te olvidó lo más importante "las pelotas del perro" gracias por tu tiempo, además de tu tremendo. Nos vemos pronto con suerte.
En inglés por favor, Freddie!
I said, You forgot the most important idiom "the dog's bollocks" thank you for your time, as well as your tremendous lessons.
See you soon hopefully.
What about the idiom more than meets the eye? Is it formal enough or not really? Transformers G1 lover here! ✋
Yes, that would be OK for essays too
You are so beautiful, Ben.
I guess its"the bigger picture" rather than " the big picture"?
It depends. "The bigger picture" is simply the comparative form of "the big picture"
