Is the cosmopolitan Janette’s summer cocktail of 2018?
Well, the ‘Cosmo’ was very popular for the girls in the hit TV series, Sex and the City, and it has also been recommended by my football mate in England. However, I’m not sure I fancy this drink. What do you reckon, is this going to be the summer cocktail of Málaga?
Going to the cinema, or watching films and DVDs at home is definitely one of the most popular pastimes of the last 50 years.
Watching movies is an easy way to learn new things, to switch off, to be entertained, and if we are lucky, to be inspired.
Are you keen on going to the cinema? What are your favourite film genres?
To splash out.
The expression: ‘to splash out’ means to spent a lot of money on something you don’t need.
For example: This year I’m going to splash out on a pool table. I have wanted one since I was 20 and this year I’m going to splash out and buy a second-hand one because I’m worth it!
Have you splashed out recently? Maybe you have had your feet eaten by fish, or you have booked a spa holiday, or maybe you have bought a new gadget.
Question Tags: Use the opposite of the auxiliary for a question tag.
