Sting "Englishman in New York"
I don't drink coffee I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side

Give it a Shot
If you “give it a shot” it means that you “make a good effort”. It means that you “try at something”. It doesn’t mean you succeeded and it doesn’t mean you failed either, but you at least put in your best effort.

Adele "Someone Like You"
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true. Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you |
Я слышала, что ты остепенился,
Что ты нашел девушку и теперь ты женат.
Я слышала, что твои мечты осуществились. Думаю, она дала тебе то, что не смогла дать я. |

Put Your Foot Down
This is a great phrase in spoken English to learn both about language and culture. If someone says, “I’m going to have to put my foot down…” they are basically saying that they are going to make the final decision about something, even when other people don’t agree.
