​​⭐️ WSE HERO - MAY 2019

I want to celebrate people who have been World Speak English members for a long time, have contributed to its development, participated in live streams, courses, and our discussions in the community chats. All of them - WSE Heroes - have a unique story to tell.
————
Augusta Tulush has been a WSE community member for a year now – since June 2018! When she had been looking for a way to practice her English, she stumbled upon out chat and YouTube channel – and eventually decided to stay. She draws a lot of inspiration from the community, and because of it decided to step out of the comfort zone and applied for Master's degree in Public Administration at Mongolia International University. She proves that nothing is an obstacle for self-improvement and growth – she is preparing to take IELTS in November! 💪🏻
————
Congratulations for becoming the WSE Hero of the month, Augusta! We love celebrating outstanding community members 🎉

📓 NEW IDIOMS

1) Spread too thin - to work on many project and thus feel overwhelmed.
I realized I’d been spreading myself too thin, so I resigned as a school teacher and focused only on tutoring

2) Bite the bullet - to force yourself to work on something that is hard and requires a lot of energy.
I had been biting the bullet for a year, because the project seemed infinite

3) Come up short - to make an effort that is not enough to achieve a goal.
My colleague came up short on preparing his presentation, as he was not invited to continue his work

4) Open a can of worms - to cause even more problems, trying to solve one of them.
I don't want to engage with this supplier, I feel like we'll open a can of worms with him

5) Take something in stride - to tackle a problem in a calm and confident manner, being persistent.
When you become famous, you soon learn to take criticism in your stride
