In this episode for upper-intermediate and advanced English learners, I’ll talk about some idioms and sayings that I personally use regularly. Today’s idioms are mostly related to having lots and lots of work to do, or being really busy. These idioms (and one phrasal verb) can all be used in a business context, but are also used in everyday life.

I welcome you to practice what you’ve learned by writing examples in the comments!  (Music by Lesfm from Pixabay)

A short news article in Kazakh

I'm a terrible driver . The first time I took my driving test , I forgot to fasten my seat belt, so I failed.
The second time , I didn't signal when I was turning left and I failed again. 
When I finally passed and got my driving license, a police officer stopped me for speeding. 
A few weeks later , I went through a red light and hit another car .
Luckily the other car wasn't damaged , but I had to pay 350 dollars on my insurance to get my car fixed and then I ended up getting a fine for driving through the red light.

Driving problems

Planning has begun on a new, car-free town which the authorities plan to locate on waste ground, close to the Condolanda power plant. It will consist of houses, parks and public transport facilities, as well as public buildings such as a police station, a secondary school, town hall, etc. There will be commercial buildings including a shopping mall, office blocks, retail stores and a medical centre. There will also be a large area of modem apartment blocks, and residents will welcome the addition of a nearby leisure centre. The heating for all the buildings will come at low cost from the power plant.
