Today we talked about English proverbs, and then acted them out for each other.
1)the grass is always greener on the other side (jobs, Xavi's privileges at work!)
2)beggars can't be choosers/don't look a gift horse in the mouth (purple car & ungrateful kid)
3)don't cry over spilt milk (Jose Mourinho is a sore loser)
Other topics: cultural differences when it comes to paying the bill, dress codes...

Proverbs:
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
Don’t count your chicks before they hatch.
A stitch in time saves nine
Look before you leap
He who hesitates is lost
When it rains, it pours.
Every cloud has a silver lining
Don’t cry over spilt milk
Beggars can’t be choosers
He who laughs last, laughs the longest
The early bird gets the worm
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
It's the pot calling the kettle black.
The chickens have come home to roost.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence
Let sleeping dogs lie.
You've made your bed, (and) now you'll have to lie in it.
