<\/p>\nThe cool thing about languages is that they are always changing\u2014obviously the English that Shakespeare spoke is not the same as the English we speak today! Every year we find new words in the English language, and many of them become popular with people your age and my age. Here are some expressions you might hear (some common ones and some that are \u201cnew\u201d) and that you might like to use yourself.<\/p>\n
Have a one-track mind: when you only think about one thing<\/p>\n
Example: \u201cThomas only thinks about football, he has a one-track mind.\u00bb<\/p>\n
Walk the walk: to act according to the words you say (some people say a lot but do not act the same way!)<\/p>\n
Example: \u201cCarly says that she really wants to go to university, but she never studies. She needs to walk the walk.\u00bb<\/p>\n
A piece of cake: something that is really easy<\/p>\n
Example: \u201cThat English exam was a piece of cake, I got a 10!\u00bb<\/p>\n
FOMO: \u201cFear Of Missing Out\u201d\u2014when you go somewhere because you don\u2019t want to miss anything fun.<\/p>\n
Example: \u201cIt was so rainy this weekend and I wanted to stay home, but then my friends invited me to a party. I had FOMO so I ended up going.\u00bb<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
basic: someone who is very boring\/plain\/does everything that is popular at the moment that everyone else is doing it<\/p>\n
Example: \u201cAllyson is wearing her white Converse sneakers with jeans and a short shirt. She\u2019s so basic.\u00bb<\/p>\n
YOLO: \u201cYou Only Live Once\u201d\u2014an expression used to motivate us to do something, because life is short<\/p>\n
Example: \u201cI was super nervous to go skydiving, but hey\u2014YOLO!\u00bb![\"yolocatsilver_fullpic\"](\"http:\/\/lopezdearenas.org\/inicio\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/yolocatsilver_fullpic-300x218.jpg\")

She was busted.\u00bb<\/p>\n geek: a name for someone who is a little strange and likes things that are less popular (stereotypically they do not have a lot of friends, do not dress well, and are very intelligent\u2014look for Steve Urkel on Google and he is the perfect example!)<\/p>\n Example: \u201cThat kid over there with the huge glasses and white socks is always on the computer alone. He\u2019s kind of a geek.\u201d<\/p>\n Hope to hear some of these in class with me this week and next! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The cool thing about languages is that they are always changing\u2014obviously the English that Shakespeare spoke is not the same as the English we speak today!
