If you can score 19 out of 20 on this
English vocabulary test, your English
is fluent. This test is challenging and will
advance from beginner to super advanced. Are
you ready? Welcome back to JForrest
English, of course. I'm Jennifer Now
Let's get started. Level beginner, your task is
to choose the correct meaning. Question one, cut
me some slack. This means A, give me a discount.
B, don't be too strict. C, help me finish my work.
The correct answer is B. Don't be
too strict. Gia, cut me some slack,
cut her some slack.
For example, you might say at the end
of this, Jennifer, cut me some slack if
I don't get all 20 right. So don't be too
strict, too critical, or don't punish me.
If that's what you're thinking, but that's right,
that's right, put that's right in the comments and
of course I'll cut you some slack. I've even
created a free lesson PD app where I explain
everything in detail. You can download it in the
comments. Question two, they go hand in hand.
This means A, they walk together. B, they
look alike, C, they naturally happen together.
The correct answer is C, they naturally happen
together. They go hand in hand. For example,
you could say success and hard
work, they go hand in hand. They.
Naturally happen together. Question 3,
she's my partner in crime. This means A,
we have a close relationship. B, we commit
crimes together. C, we work together.
The correct answer is A, we
have a close relationship.
We were my first partner in crime.
For example,
we've known each other since
we were little kids. She's my
partner in crime. So it's an expression
you can use with someone you're very.
Close with a friend, even a spouse
or a family member. Question 4,
he has a soft spot for snakes. A, he's afraid of
them. B, he loves them deeply. C, he avoids them.
The correct answer is B. He loves them
deeply. Yes, we're talking about snakes,
but he has a soft spot for snakes, so
it means he loves them deeply. Larry
has a soft spot for animals. You can use this
with anything, but with animals, you can say.
I love all animals, but I have a
soft spot for cats. Question 5,
my new boss is quite blunt. A, he's
confident, B, he's direct. C, he's helpful.
The correct answer is B. He's direct. So
brilliant and blunt. This is commonly used
to begin a sentence, to be blunt, and then
you can say something negative or critical,
and you can say it directly. To
be blunt, I wasn't impressed with.
Your presentation. So how did you do with
this level? Share your score in the comments
and let's move on to level intermediate.
Your task is to choose the correct word
to complete the phrase. Question 6, there's
a fine between being blunt and being rude.
A line, B page, C, D, thread.
The correct answer is a line. There's
a fine line between tough and crazy.
There's a fine line between, and
then we need two things, X and Y.
It means that these things are
closely related and often confused.
There's a common expression. There's
a fine line between love and hate.
These are two very strong emotions, and
sometimes they're confused. Question 7,
misery loves? A company, B
drama, C attention. D gossip.
The correct answer is A, misery loves company.
Misery loves company. This is an expression that
means unhappy people, that's misery. Unhappy
people often want others to feel unhappy too.
So you might use this as advice to a friend.
Don't let his negativity bring you down,
so make you go from happy or positive to sad
or negative. Don't let his negativity bring
you down. Remember, misery loves company.
This is like saying people who are upset.
Like talking about why they're
upset and want other people to
talk about why they're upset too.
Misery loves company. Question 8,
before the movie, let's get into our
A jam, B pajama, C P J D jammies.
The correct answer is D jammies and
let's wear jammies. This is the only
grammatically correct answer because pajamas or
PJs requires an S. The noun is always plural,
which is why those options were not
grammatically correct because they were.
Singular. Now of course pajamas, PJs are
comfortable clothing you wear to sleep or relax,
like when you're watching a movie or you
might say I need to buy some winter jammies.
Jammies is the casual, informal way
of saying pajamas or PJs. Question 9,
don't. To conclusions. A
run, B leap, C skip, D jump.
The correct answer is D, jump. Maybe don't jump
to conclusions. To jump to conclusions, this means
that you form conclusions, so your opinion or
what you think is true, before you have all the.
Facts. So you might say before jumping to
conclusions, just ask him why he hasn't returned
your texts. That's the best way. Question
10, don't ask her for money. She's a cheap.
A skate, B wallet, C, hunter. D. thrift.
The correct answer is a, a cheapskate. Hey, relax,
cheapskate, they're bottomless. Do you know
what this means? This describes someone who
doesn't like spending money and tries to
avoid paying for things whenever possible.
A classic example, she brings her own popcorn
to the movies. She's a cheapskate. How did you
do with this level? Share your score
in the comments and let's move on to
level advanced. Your task is to complete
the phrase, but this is level advanced,
so there are no options. Question 11, she
gets upset all the time. I have to walk on.
Whenever she's around.
Did you say eggshells to walk on eggshells?
They walk on eggshells around you. Now,
if you said eggshells, singular or eggs or
shells, that's incorrect. It must be eggshells
plural. To walk on eggshells means that you're
very careful not to offend or upset someone.
For example, just because Brad dumped
me doesn't mean you need to walk on
eggshells around me. Question 12,
if you want to make him angry,
just ask him about his bathroom
renovation. That always pushes his.
Did you say buttons again with the S, always
plural. Madison can push buttons. To push
one's buttons, his buttons, this means you
deliberately on purpose, you deliberately
say or do something to annoy or provoke someone
usually just for fun. That's what you do with
your partner in crime with your close friends,
with your family members you might say on.
Honestly, just hearing the name Brad pushes my
buttons right now because remember Brad dumped me,
which means he ended our relationship.
So hearing his name annoys me or makes me
angry. It pushes my buttons. Question
13, I don't mean to be a blanket,
but I have an early meeting, so
can you please turn down the music?
Did you say wet blanket? I'm a
wet blanket. To be a wet blanket,
this is a person who discourages fun or enjoyment.
You might say my brother is being a wet blanket.
Won't lend us his convertible and it would be so
fun to have his convertible to go to the beach,
but he's being a wet blanket.
Question 14, he's complaining
about the policy because he hasn't to
grind, not because it affects his work.
To have an ax to grind, an ax to grind.
Do they have an ax to grind? Is it you,
sir? This means that you have a personal
reason or a hidden motive for something.
You might say I don't think she
has an ax to grind. I don't think.
She has a hidden motive. I think she
honestly has a soft spot for snakes,
and that's why she doesn't want you to plant
a garden here because it will disturb the
snake habitat. She doesn't have an ax to grind.
Remember that soft spot for snakes? Question 15,
don't worry about spilling your coffee.
It won't leave a stain. No harm, no.
No harm, no foul. Is that
what you said? Foul. No harm,
no foul. This means nothing bad has happened,
so there's no reason to be upset or take action.
You might see the new intern forgot
to mail the samples, but no harm,
no foul. We can overnight them to the client
and still make the deadline. How did you do
with this level? Share your score in the comments
and let's move on to level super advanced. Your.
The task is to complete the full phrase based
on the reference word and that's why this is
super advanced because there may be 123,
or more words that you need to complete
the phrase. Question 16. 0 wow, I didn't
know you're engaged. When are you? Not.
When are you tying the knot? When are
you two going to tie the knot? So you
need the correct words to tie the knot, and
you also need to form the correct grammar
based on the sentence. When are you tying
the knot? This is a casual way of saying to
get married. We're tying the knot next
May. We're getting married next May.
Question 17, that is such
a fancy dress. Why are you?
Nines.
Why are you dressed to the
nines?
He dresses to the nines for every occasion.
This is when you wear very formal or
very fashionable clothes. You might say,
I'm so excited for Mary's wedding next
May. I love getting dressed to the nines.
Question 18. Why is Remy sitting
in the front seat? I called.
I called shotgun. I call shotgun shotgun
to call shotgun. This is when you claim
the right to sit in the front passenger
seat of a vehicle. So someone might say,
Is everyone ready to go? and you're about to go
on a long drive, and you say, I call shotgun.
That's how you claim that your
seat is the front passenger seat,
and then maybe the person replies,
that's fine. I'm happy to sit in the
back. Question 19 Trisha spent 20 minutes in
my office talking about the weather before
she finally asked me for the day off tomorrow.
It was a simple request. There was no need to.
Bush.
There was no need to beat around the bush.
Stop beating around the bush. This is when
you avoid talking about what is important, so
she was talking about the weather instead of
what was important her request for a day off so
you might say to someone, stop beating around
the bush and just say what's on your mind
be direct, maybe be blunt, remember that?
Question 20. Brad told you he wants to spend
the next 10 years traveling. It doesn't sound
like he wants to get married or
have kids. You need to between.
Lines.
You need to read between the lines. Read between
the lines. This is when you understand someone's
real feelings or intentions from what
they say or do. So Brad didn't say,
I don't want to marry you or have children,
but he did say he wants to spend the next 10
years traveling. So if I read between the
lines, maybe I understand his intention.
Here's another example. She said she wants to
come on vacation with us, but reading between
the lines, I don't think she can afford it. So
