English review : Something else to "take home".

Voici un petit rappel de quelques expressions que nous avons rencontrées lors des journées passées à Boston, New York et Philadélphie, ainsi que quelques faits historiques et culturels. Je vous invite à le compléter en anglais,  en formulant des phrases complètes pour chaque réponse. Certaines expressions sont proposées en-dessous.  Attention :  toutes ces expressions ne seront pas exploitées, et d'autres dont vous aurez besoin ne s'y trouvent pas. Contactez-moi si vous avez besoin d’aide.

L'élève qui m'envoie ses réponses correctes en premier aura une petite récompense.
