We are in the middle of august and we want star the classes. Talking about the expressions mentioned in the entry, we can see fourr expressions that are connected to the sea. These idioms are used to talk about life, emotions, and decisions. It is interesting how the sea is used to explain feelings and situations that are sometimes difficult to describe.
ResponderEliminarFor example, the expression “at sea” means that you are confused or don’t know what to do. I think this is a good way to describe how some people feel during the summer or when they have to make important choices. Also, “plenty more fish in the sea” is used to say that there are more oportunities or people to meet, which can give hope after a breakup or disappointment.
In my opinion, these expressions are very interesting and creative. I didn’t know that the sea could be used to explain so many things about life and emotions. I think using idioms like these makes the language more fun and easier to remember. I would like to learn more expressions like these because they help me speak and understand English better.

Hi! I’m Javier, today I’m going to talk about: feeling being at sea?
ResponderEliminarAt sea I feel good, relax but Some days it's the west or the rise, so I don’t enjoy.
Last sunday it Was very windy and that's why on the beach they had to put up 5 people, thank goodness we didn't have to regret anything.
