Idiomatic Expressions



Mimi: Tomorrow's English test is going to be a piece of cake.
Liza: How did you know?
Mimi: Let's just say a little bird told me.
Liza: O come on. Don't beat around the bush.
Mimi: Sorry, Liza, but my lips are sealed.

  4. a piece of cake is if something is a piece of cake, it is really easy.

    a little bird told me is if someone doesn't want to say where they got some information from, they can say that a little bird told them.

    beat around the bush is if someone doesn't say clearly what they mean and try to make it hard to understand, they are beating about (around) the bush.

    my lips are sealed is keep the secret and don't want to tell anyone.
