On your bike

Usually when I take the train, I always try to get a single seat. I love talking, but after four hours talking about the Palaeolithic, yesterday I actually needed a break, just reading or listening to some music, but the train was really crowded so I had to sit next to other woman.
Sincerely I didn't keep attention about her, I just took the seat and I opened my book, it's very interesting and I wanted to keep reading, that was what I tried when the woman siting next to me started to talk. First I didn't realise that she was telling me about her whole life. I always try to be polite, so I smiled to her and after few seconds I came back to my book, but she kept telling me a lot of stories that I didn't care, even I was very tired and I did want to read, I looked up to her and I smiled again, but I said nothing.
When I though that I could read my book, she touched me and said "Please, listen to me, when I was seven years old..." then I blew up and shouted her "Get on your bike"
This week I'm going to ask you a new writing prompt, on your bike I'm sure that you're going to guess the meaning of this idiom.

You're on the thin ice

Hi guys!

This week we're going to work with the idiom "You're on the thin ice"
Being on the thin ice has two meanings, the literal meaning-on ice that is too thin to support one. But obviously I'm not asking for that one, when you're on the thin ice, you're in a risky situation. You're already in trouble, and can't afford another mistake.


 On the other hand, I want to invite you to listen to U2's song I still haven't found what I'm looking for while you're playing Lyrics Game: Instructions; click on the timer, listen to the Youtube video and type (in the pink space and in any order) the words you hear.
See you at class ;)
