Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:01:58 PMI Can't Stand Him Any Longer! Jan: What's going on between you and Gary? Did you guys have a fight or something? Andy: I can't stand him any more! He has such a short fuse that even a little piece of friendly advice sets him off. Jan: So what did you tell him? Andy: I told him that if he could be more patient and try not to lose his temper so easily, he would be more popular. Jan: No wonder he threw a fit. His popularity is really a sore spot. Andy: Well, I guess I'll just keep my mouth shut. That'll teach me to give advice! Jan: Not unless you want to die! |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:03:35 PMQ: In this context, the word “stand” means to tolerate or go along with something. People usually use it when they talk about something they don’t like, such as “I can’t stand eating seafood!” Sometimes though people use it to talk about things they could do such as “I could stand to lose a few pounds.” Can you make a sentence using the word stand? |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:24:14 PMLet's go the the next dialog: |
Anne(51667723) 7:24:19 PMof coures not |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:24:21 PMDon't Take It Out On Me! Vickie: Jack, can you do the dishes tonight? I'm very tired. Jack: Can't we just put them in the dish-washer? I've had a very bad day, too! I just want to kick back and relax. Vickie: Hey! Just because you had a bad day today doesn't give you permission to take it out on me! Jack: Just leave me alone, OK! Vickie: Why are you being such a turd! I wish I hadn't gotten married! |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:24:59 PM |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:25:48 PMHint: It is a figure of speech... |
Anne(51667723) 7:26:34 PMDo not want to do |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:26:39 PMA. To “kick back” is to relax and not do any work. It sounds like the person is sitting down. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:27:05 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:27:18 PMLet’s look closely at the expression “to take it out on someone or something.” You can only take out negative feelings on someone, like anger. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:27:38 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:27:48 PMFor example: Two cats were angry when they couldn’t get out of the room. So, the black cat took it out on the white cat and they got in a fight. |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:30:05 PMQ. How did the black cat take out his anger on the white cat? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:30:15 PM |
