SPELLING BEE CONTEST

A spelling bee  is a competition in which contestants are asked to spell a broad selection of words, usually with a varying degree of difficulty. The concept is thought to have originated in the United States, and spelling bee events, along with variants, are now also held in some other countries around the world. The first winner of an official spelling bee was Frank Neuhauser, who won the 1st National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. in 1925 at age eleven.

Learn English with idioms

An idiom is an expression in the usage of a language that is peculiar to itself either grammatically (as no, it wasn't me) or in having a meaning that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements (as ride herd on for “supervise”).
In class (1ª ESO, 2ºESO) we learnt very interesting idioms with this video:

A face like thunder : cara de pocos amigos
Packed like sardines: como sardinas en lata
A skeleton in everyone's closet: tener secretos de familia
It's raining cats and dogs: llueve a cántaros
Don't look a gift horse on the mouth: a caballo regalado no le mires el diente
When in Rome, do as Romans do: donde fueres, haz lo que vieres
Make my day: alegrarte el día
As cool as a cucumber: fresco como una lechuga
Sick as a parrot: sentirse fatal
