Homework

Good morning, Teacher Marie. I'm so sorry. I didn't meet your expectations these days. I'll try harder. Make a sentence or give an example situation using the following idioms: 1. Cut corners 2. Don't count your chickens before the eggs have hatched. 3. Don't give up (someone's) day job. 1. It's not recommended for students to cut corners, although it often allows adults to do that. 2. When we're talking about how we share our lottery winnings in the case of the first prize, one friend of mine said, "Don't count your chickens before the eggs have hatched." 3. Some students are late school due to their part time jon. I'd like to say this, "Don't give up their day job."

Hello Kaylee! What are you talking about? You\'ve been doing well in our classes! You are constantly improving and I can feel your effort in every class. Don\'t ever feel like you are not meeting my expectations, okay? You did a good job in this homework, however, remember that idioms are not to be taken literally. The last idiom, \"don\'t give up your day job\" means \"you are not very good at something and you definitely could not do it professionally.\" For example, \"My brother is terrible at singing. He should not give up his day job (for singing).\" Please review my corrections below.
