Hello everyone, 大家好，我是方安，你们叫我 Finn 也可以。

Good to see you all again.  This is my last post of the week and tomorrow is the last day of the season in the Premier League.  That means we will find out who wins the league – Manchester United or Chelsea.  Sorry if you're not a football fan, but I'm very excited! 谁会赢呢？

Now, for my last post of the week, I thought I'd give everyone some useful phrases.  These are all related to sports.

But, I don't want to make it too easy for you.  So I thought I'd make a small quiz 一个小测验 for you.

I want you to match the idioms below to their meanings.

IDIOMS 成语

1)      Move the goalposts
2)      The ball is in your court
3)      Lightweight
4)      Go the distance
5)      Get the ball rolling
6)      Neck and neck
7)      A blow by blow account
8)      Take it on the chin
9)      No holds barred
10)   Par for the course.

MEANINGS 解释

A)    To begin something.
B)     Not of a high ability.  Sometimes used to describe someone who can't drink a lot of alcohol.
C)    This means: it's your turn to make a decision.
D)    To face up to something difficult.
E)     We use this when talking about the difference between two competitors – if they are very close, we can say they are ______________.
F)     With no restrictions.
G)    When you do this, it means you change the rules in a situation, often in a way which makes it more difficult for someone to achieve something.
H)    A detailed description.
I)       What is normal and expected in a situation.
J)       To complete something.

For example if you think the meaning of number (1) is (A), then write 1 = A.

And for bonus points, can you name the sports that these idioms came from.  这些成语都是来自那一些运动呢？

To help, here are the sports:

(football, tennis, horse racing, boxing, wrestling, golf)

Good luck, I'll tell you the answers next time.　

Time to go!

Enjoy your weekend,

Finn 方安
