GOOSE BUMPS
Dear Teachers,
1. You're darn right.
- What does this mean? and is it polite to say?
2. - The manager promised she would fix the door, but now she's not here yet.
- That's outrageous! I just don't understand why she's not on top of this.
- What does "she's not on top of this" mean here?
3. - Your room is like an ice-box.
- No, it's not. It's just comfortable.
- Yeah! if you're a penguin. Just look at me!Even my goose bumps have goose bumps.
- What does "even my goose bumps have goose bumps" mean here?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.
