 Save the day - to do something that prevents a defeat or failure

Talking to a brick wall - talking to someone who can't understand you (разговаривать со стеной)

Make a mountain out of a molehill' - to exaggerate the seriousness of a problem (делать из мухи слона)

Take a leaf out of someone's book - you copy something someone else has done because it will help you (брать пример с кого-то)

The tables have turned - a situation has changed, with a person who was previously at a disadvantage now having an advantage

Go back to square one - you have to go back to the beginning of a task and start again

Economical with the truth - they deliberately (нарошно) leave out information in order to create a false impression of a situation

Eye opener - something surprising or unexpected that reveals the truth about something or somene

Call the shots - to be in a position of control, talking the important decisions about something

Keep someone at arm's lenght - you dont allow them to become very friendly with you

Off the top of your head - you say it without thinking about it first

Face the music - to accept criticism or punishment for something you have done wrong

No love lost - they dislike each other very much

In your stride - you cannot forget about it, so it stars to change your behaviour
