As we were talking about travelling in class here you are a series of expressions (idioms) related to the topic. Can you complete the expressions? The solutions are in the comment below.
FEET / TIME / SUITCASE / MOVE / LINE / WEATHER
1. This new job in sales means that I’ll have to live out of a …………….. for months.
2. I’ll drop you a …………………. as soon as I get there and let you know what’s going on.

1- live out of a suitcase (travel so much that you don’t unpack)
2- drop someone a line (write a letter)
3- put one’s feet up (relax)
4- get a move on (hurry up)
5- feel a bit under the weather (feel a bit down, depressed or unwell)
6- in the nick of time (at the last moment)
Idioms are useful to improve natural speech but as phrasal verbs, they are difficult to understand !!.
I leave one, even though it is out of the topic is related with student’s work.
“Practice Makes Perfect”
I think, this is the only one I knew.
