Dear Teachers,

1.This moving story tells of great courage and faith.
-“tell off” means “scold” but what does “tell of” mean?

2.I am the lord, your God who takes hold of your right hand.
-Does “take hold of “ mean “keep”?

3.Does “Priest” apply to both Catholic and Christian?

4.I feel this is the time to hit it hard and give my career everything I’ve got.
-What does “hit it hard” mean here?

5.It’s so important to live a well-balanced life.
-What does “ well-balanced life” mean?

6.No matter how far apart you are, you’ll somehow wind up together.
-What does “wind up” mean here?

-Thanks a lot to Teachers,

Ngamary

(Tell of = tell about; report; relate).
2.I am the lord, your God who takes hold of your right hand.

(He takes your hand in his).

3.Does “Priest” apply to both Catholic and other Christian churches?
(Catholic is a Christian religion, so I have made the change above.
There are priests in Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Church of England, and (I believe) in Greek and Russian Orthodox churches).

4.I feel this is the time to hit it hard and give my career everything I’ve got.
-What does “hit it hard” mean here?
(Put extra effort into your work).

5.It’s so important to live a well-balanced life.
-What does “ well-balanced life” mean?
(It means to give time and importance to the various things that make a good life: work, relaxation, time for family and friends, etc.)

6.No matter how far apart you are, you’ll somehow wind up together.
-What does “wind up” mean here?
("Wind up" usually means to end or finish something. 6. means you will eventually get together).
