Job visa opportunity for Canada happens once in a blue moon. you send information and your documents and your work experience, every thing. then when Canadian government opens that special online room for checking, It fulls up in a nick of time:( I have the most high speed Internet service but when my friend joined the number was 130000!!!! they checked 5000….. to be honest we are doing time here we live in a prison for no crime … let’s call it a day and stop talking about how life su… here. we use the 90th minute instead of the 11th hour, yes so many football fans, I’m not a fan by the way.love you James:*

Then, he woke up and in two shakes of a lamb’s tail he was ready to go. He went out runing and arrived at the stop bus at the 11th hour, where cautch the bus as all days. Arriving at the company, where he worked an eight-hour day six days for week, his boss asked why he had been late.

My office has an 8-hour day, we work British. On the 11th hour, I realized I had to send a report to my manager if not I send the report like clockwork every Monday. Based on the report he measures our team occupancy, therefore, I did it in two shakes of a lamb’s tail and sent him and I called it a day.

Thank you so much James. This is a superb lesson.
This has completely made my day! Amazing lesson.
Today I woke up around 7 am because my son wakes up like a clockwork at 7am. I was making breakfast but in a pinch of time my sister called me. She told me that her friend just finished doing time. He came once in a blue moon to visit her. As soon as her boos find out that he is coming to visit she came too like a two shades of a lambs tail. Because her boos was trying to meet that guy at it was her 3rd times the charm. But my sister told me that she was so busy working and totally forgot to take a five. She really needed a 40 winks. My sister mentioned that her boss was keeping talking about her 7years itch.
My sister wanted to call it a day because she was on 8 hr a day shift. She was mad so by accident she hit the keyboard and her entire report got deleted, she said to herself that if she stitch in time then she would save nine. But on the 11th hour her one colleague hand over her report copy. If she didn’t copy her report my sister had to work around clock to finish that report. I am writing this paragraph to kill time while waiting for my husband to come back from work. I wanted to be a doctor instead of a staying home mom but my ship has sailed.?
I got 9 out of 10 in two shakes of a lamb’s tail.
Hey EngVid students, if you got wrong answers after filling out the quiz. Therefore, try again because the third time’s the charm.
Thanks, James, great lesson. Finally a teacher who come up with new unknown Idioms so far.
