Homework

Hello, Teacher. There are full of mentions about MERS these days. I'm not that worried about MERS, but it's a little uncomfortable. Make a sentence or give an example situation using the following idioms: 1. Sore loser 2. Social butterfly 3. Band-aid on a bullet wound 1. Whenever my husband and son play the game, 'Blue Marble', my son seeks to change the rule of the game to his advantage. To prevent him not to be a sore loser, I should advise him to follow the rules. 2. Isn't she a social butterfly? I thought that she got along with most people. 3. (I'm not sure the meaning of 'Band-aid on a bullet wound'.) I thought that Korean government's initial response to this MERS transmission was like band-aid on a bullet wound.

Hello Kaylee! Thanks for doing your homework. ^^ The idiom \'band-aid on a bullet wound\' means you attempt to deal with a serious problem in an inadequate way. We can also say \"band-aid on a gunshot wound\". Good job here! Keep on shining, my dear student! ^^ Ciao! ~Teacher Marie~ Hello, Teacher. >> CORRECT!There are full of mentions about MERS these days. >> There has been a lot of news about MERS these days.I\'m not that worried about MERS, but it\'s a little uncomfortable. >> CORRECT!1.
