      Some interesting language:

• under the weather
• bucket
  • bucket list
  • to bucket down
  • to kick the bucket
  • to giggle

Pronunciation:

• disengaged /dɪsəŋˈgeɪʤd/
• freelance /ˈfri:lɑ:ns/

Be careful with:

• you don't have to (do yoga) - not an obligation;    vs.  you shouldn't (do yoga) - not a good idea
• even (to introduce a surprising example)  vs   also  (to introduce another example)
  • Alex is working hard and Carmen is also working hard (both are working hard - nothing surprising here!)
  • Alex is working hard and even Carmen is working hard (implies Carmen is lazy and only does this because there's no other option!)
  • she vs he (some gender confusion happening here!)
