Idioms may sound difficult, but unnoticeably, they are spoken everywhere. Start eavesdropping whenever you hear an English conversation on the street!
1. A Wild Goose Chase = Futile search
(Futile = useless, pointless)
Example : It was indeed a wild goose chase as I could not find find my book in the house. In the end, I found it on my office table top.
2. All over the place = Everywhere
Example : I have looked all over the place, but I didn't find your earring still.
3. Face the music = Face consequences later, usually negative consequences
Example : I would have to face the music when I get back, my mum knew I sneaked out to go to the karaoke instead of studying.
4. Break the ice = Overcome shyness
Example 1: I will break the ice by speaking to her first.
Example 2: (In the party...) The ice breaking session will start in 5 minutes.
