7.5. HOMEWORK.

 

‘Tomorrow we will be very busy (tied up) in the flat. The place needs to be renovated (to be done up). We have to demolish (knock down) the garden wall, install (put in) some new kitchen units and tidy (clear up) all the rubbish left behind. We need to put the rubbish into the bin (throw the rubbish away). If the neighbours start to reproach us (tell us off) we can tell them to be quiet (shut up) and to go away (clear off). Call George (ring George up) and tell him to go in the car (get in), and stop the car (pull up) at the school and leave (drop off) the kids there. Tell him that if the children act stupidly and joke (fool around), he must reproach (tell them off) them. Those children really tire you (wear you out), and he will become bored and tired (get fed up) when they behave like that.
