Cost an arm and a leg

Did you buy the new flagship smartphone?

No way. It costs an arm and a leg! I'll just stick with my old one.

I'm thinking of booking a hotel right on the beach for our trip.

That sounds amazing, but won't it cost an arm and a leg during peak season?

Why do you look so stressed today?

My car broke down, and getting it fixed cost me an arm and a leg.

If I exercise three times a week I will get into much better shape.

If you join me for a workout you will feel way more energetic every day.

If you stay consistent with it you will naturally inspire others around you!

If I don't finish my homework I will have to stay up all night cramming.

If you pull an all-nighter like that you will be completely exhausted during the exam.

If you mess up your test because of that you will regret not starting earlier!

This was taken in a study room at the library.

First off, I see five people studying together.

A blonde girl is smiling at the guy on her right.

There’s a stack of books right in the middle of the table.

In the background, I can see bookshelves packed with books.

Overall, it looks like they're chatting more than actually studying.

Suppose that you have a free ticket to the cinema. What movie would you watch?

I would watch the new Marvel movie.

What about you?

I would watch a sci-fi movie because it's best experienced in a theater.

Suppose that you wake up late tomorrow morning. What would you do?

I would call a taxi right away to make it on time.

What about you?

I would text my boss first and let them know I'm running a bit late.

He left his wet umbrella inside the tightly closed bag for days.

As a result, his bag smelled terrible and was covered in mold.

The taxi driver hit the brakes hard to avoid the stray dog.

As a result, my coffee spilled all over my clothes.

The baker accidentally added salt instead of sugar to the cake batter.

Because of this, he had to throw it all away before serving it to customers.

Your mom is a teacher, isn't she?

You don't like spicy food, do you?

They watched a movie yesterday, didn't they?

Don't open the window, will you?
