Well I hope you listened closely to those expressions, as we’ve got a

chance to practise now. I’m going to give you a context. After each

context, I want you to respond with a sentence out loud that uses some

of the expressions we looked at. Try to use a different expression each

time. Here’s an example: Question - You spill some soup on your shirt.

What could you say? Answer – You could say, ‘Oh bother! I’ve spilt

soup on my shirt!’ Now it’s your turn, and try to remember to use a

different expression each time.

You’re running for the bus, but you just miss it. What could you say?

Say it out loud.

her door yet again! What could you say?

You’re cleaning your house and you accidentally break a plate. What

might you say?
