Hi Lucy! Congratulations on this video, it is still one of my favourites 3 years later! I wonder if you could still answer some questions about it, even though it was posted so long ago. - Easy question first: Would "getting sth off my chest" be equivalent to 24. "getting sth out of my system"? - Now a harder one: How would "a blessing in disguise" be different from "every cloud has a silver lining"? Could they refer to the same situation, i.e. sth negative that ended up having a bright side? Huge thanks in advance! 🍉😇

Learning English is not a rocket science, it is a piece of cake. I always tell myself that no pain no gain and I have to brush up on my learning. It is good to hang in there and to keep your chin up most of the times. When I learn a foreign language I can get the best of both worlds as I have fun and learn about another culture. It is okay to make mistakes considering that you live and learn. Thank you so much MZ Lucy for your great efforts and your amazing presentation. I am so grateful for having you as my teacher that is my pleasure ❤❤❤❤

Okay guys, two things! Firstly, Lucy’s mum seems to be an amazing human being and secondly, “spork” is definitely the best invention ever!
