DEACON
Dear Teachers,
1. I'm sure that their relationship is going to the drain.
- "going to the drain" here means "going to the end", right?
2. My grandpa was a deacon and and my parents are pretty active in our religion.
- What does "deacon" mean here?
3. At the age of 15, there's still a lot of growing up for you to do.
- What does "growing up" mean here?
4. Stand and turn your head against the wall for 15 minutes, is that clear?
- Is this natural?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.
