Interestingly, Chinese have a similar expression, 小事一桩. It also has a similar meaning.
Matt<matroid_1337@hotmail.com>
7:06:04 PM
One good example is, "this homework is a piece of cake!"

Matt<matroid_1337@hotmail.com>
7:14:04 PM
To "follow up" is like to follow something. But not physically. It is a metaphor.

We just learned some idioms with teacher Matt! Great job Matt and everyone ! 

We hope everyone enjoyed it ! 

Maybe it won't be a piece of cake for you to learn and grasp each of them . But don't worry ! Take it easy ! Try to use them as much as you can. We may follow up with you next time to check how you learned. 

Make sure to drop by our group chat session next time and let's learn more!
