Step 1
Study the infographic. It has more than just idioms this week. Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Step 2
Now take a moment to listen to a dialogue. Can you guess what the idioms mean?
Step 3
Now, look at the script of the dialog. Listen to the dialog again. This is one of the best ways to build your listening skills.
Soubadeh: | Hey! The long weekend is coming up! Do you have any plans? |
Blaine: | Yes, I’m going to have dinner with my family at my sister’s house. |
Soubadeh: | What a real blessing it is to be able to get together with your family and have a nice meal! |
Blaine: | Sure, the only problem is that I am always so stuffed afterwards. Then there’s my brother-in-law … he’s always such a stuffed shirt! |
Soubadeh: | You know, we really need to talk turkey here! I think you need to count your blessings, and be thankful that you live so close to your family that you can enjoy Thanksgiving with them. |
Blaine: | I know, you are so right. One thing for sure, though, is that I am going to go cold turkey on the desert this year! |
