Dear Teacher,

1. She's very smooth-spoken/smooth-tongued.

2. They often say one thing and do another.

3. They're always absurd.

4. She always uses honeyed words/blandishments with other people.

5. You really have done me an injustice.

6. They just say empty words.

7. You do nothing but talk.

8. They like gathering together and gossip.

9. She does not like gossiping at all.

Thanks very much to all Teachers.
