Hello maya.
Here is my homework.
- I always forgive people. I'm not the sort of person to hold(or to harbour) a grudge.
- We used to be bitter enemies, but that's all water under the bridge.
- If possible the best policy is to forgive and forget.
- I think I should go and talk to Sally and I should bury the hatchet(or the tomahawk). We can't keep ignoring each other.
- If someone hurts you, the best option is to turn the other cheek.
- John's a very difficult person to work with. He has a chip on one's shoulder about not getting promoted last year.
If the answers are good, what is the reward?
and see you soon.pepe69

Good one, thanks Maya!
OK, let's give it a try...Not sure about the meaning of all these expressions though. I don't really know what kind of answer is expected for 3 and 5 so my selection would be interchangeable for those 2.
-I always forgive people. I'm not the sort of person to hold a grudge
- We used to be bitter enemies, but that's all water under the bridge
- If possible the best policy is to forgive and forget
- I think I should go and talk to Sally and bury the hatchet. We can't keep ignoring each
other
- If someone hurts you, the best option is to turn the other cheek
- John's a very difficult person to work with. He's getting a chip on his shoulder about not getting
promoted last year
Thanks and bye!
