[FONT=&#44404]The glee club glee will appear in a tv commercial, so this is the line of the leader so thrilled to announce their first appearance as they have been always so-called persecuted by others without acknowledgement from others.[/FONT]​

[FONT=&#44404]When you say "big break", does it mean just a big breakthrough or a big success? I've used "big break" as a meaning of making success in any area. [/FONT]
[FONT=&#44404]For example "Obama made a big break(big success) as a politician" I wonder if I can use big break to replace big success as success is a plain and ordinary word.

"A big break" doesn't mean a breakthrough. Obama made a breakthrough not a break, a break is a chance or an opportunity.
