I Need A Holiday!

Average: 4.3 (24 votes)

The title of this sentence isn’t actually true, I can’t wait for work and university to start! However, it is one of my favourite songs and has some really interesting idiomatic language and phrasal verbs in the lyrics. I have removed some of the key words and challenge you to try and remember the idiom or phrasal verb to fill in the gap. Then listen to the clip to check your answers. Good luck!
