B2 / C1: Post a newspaper headline using Idioms – 2025

Hello B2 and C1  students,

this year in class we talked about Halloween and learned some idioms. Then, we wrote  articles about invented crimes that happened on a Halloween night.

It was thrilling to read your creepy stories!

As homework post a new headline using one of the idioms that we learned. The headlines don’t have to be related to crimes this time.

I am looking forward to seeing your new headlines.

Here is the story from E., A. and M. The old house and Érika

Well done! Terrifying situation indeed and the details of what the clown did were also so scary that I jumped out of my skin! However, a pity that you did not include any of the Halloween idioms.

Here is L. storyThe místery of abandoned souls

Your story game me shivering! Well written with a proper use of the idiom “jump out of my skin”. However, I recommend using punctuation a bit more and write in short sentences.

This is P. ‘s story: Vintage newspaper

Creepy gripping story! It  really seems to be hard to say whether this murder was an accident or not. You have kept me in suspence! Nicely written and engaging. Good job!

Hi Fede!

Two things out of context. The first one: should I wait to write this until we talk with Tim in class about this?

I’m asking you this because we haven’t talked about it and you said above that we will do it in class, right?

And the second one: which is the deadline to do this? It is not written in any of the documents about this proyect.

Thanks and see you on Tuesday

A.
