Lesson 58: Advanced English Speaking / Idioms - Phrasal verbs
I still remember how my teacher LEFT A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. It is not a TALL TALE but it’s a true story that left a great impact on my life. One day, we were reading a story in class and each student was given a section to read. I kept on waiting for the teacher to assign me a paragraph but that never happened. It was so obvious that she PASSED ME BY on purpose. I started to feel teary-eyed but I tried my best to control my feelings. But, for a nine-year-old girl, my heart was aching so badly. I was so hurt when I saw that she picked everyone to read a portion of the story except for me. No, it wasn’t the first time. It has happened at least 5 times before. At first, I had good intentions TOWARDS HER and thought that I may HAVE SLIPPED HER MIND. I even thought that it might have been my fault, but she kept skipping me RAIN OR SHINE. One day, she finally chose me to read. My excitement didn’t last long though. I had barely SCRATCHED THE SURFACE and was starting to TAKE OFF my reading performance when she CUT ME OFF and asked someone else to continue reading my portion. The truth was plain and clear now. It was obvious that she didn't want to waste her time waiting for me to FINISH UP since I took three times the average time needed to read my part. I was devastated. This experience scarred me and it took me several years to get over what happened.
