| I just met some idiomatic expressions in my teaching, which are all about RESPONSIBILITY, such as "face up to something; pass the luck; worm out of something and shoulder the responsibility". I need more for my students, but I myself can't figure them out. Can you list some idioms here to me? |

| Another related idiom: 'face the music' (take responsibility for one's actions) and a nice phrasal verb: 'get away with...' (avoid responsibility thanks to a good excuse or a credible reason) All the best in your teaching Tee Kay |
