5個表達
1. Luckily none of my friends have found out yet, but believe me, I have had some really close calls. (P22)
A close call 原來是指比賽中對“擦邊球”式的犯規動作或進球得分的評判。后來逐漸被轉用到其他方面，指千鈞一發甚至是九死一生的局面。
造句：I haven't expected a close call at the moment I really ran into the grave danger. And he just appeared like a super hero.
2. Mom is always getting on me about not finishing my breakfast. Dad started hassling me about going outside. (P23)

造句：The teacher is always getting on Mickey about not doing his homework carefully enough.
3. But my trick kind of backfired, because as soon as Mom saw me, she made me go upstairs and take a shower. (P28)

造句：It could be backfired if you just give your personal comment on this issue without discussing with your team members.
4. Us kids have pretty much figured Fregley out by now, but I don't think the teachers have really caught on yet. (P29)
catch on 有變得流行的意思，也可以表示理解、投合某人心意。這里顯然是理解的意思。

red-handed有現行犯的，正在作案的意思。文中也就是說他們兩個被Craig太太抓了現行。

日記
Do you have the feeling that when you were caught in something that you couldn't get rid of for a long time, maybe you would just see the light someday in a very sudden? I'm not very sure if I made it, but I do feel better now.
In the past month, I've been truely stressed out for the unstable relationship between my husband and me. He did something real wrong yet at a very inappropriate period of time-during my pregnancy. I was mad, sad and helpless. I tried to solve the problem by myself at first. But then I realize it wouldn't help if he himself doesn't want to turn around. Tears can't bring him back, but could do harm to me and my baby. I am not going to worry about our result any more. I just want to do something that I can manage, like feeding me and my baby well, reading several books at leisure time and doing something else that can really makes me happy.
I would like to believe that what belongs to you is yours. I don't want to waste my time expecting for his kindness or mercy. If he realizes he was wrong, he will come back, won't he?
