I think about ending my relationship

with him. Most relationships are about

give and take, right? There needs to be a balance

and I accept that every relationship has

its ups and downs. Things can't always be perfect,

but I am getting sick and tired of him not

doing anything apart from eat, sleep and play.

Don't worry, I'm talking about my dog Bo and I

would never end my relationship with him,

but did you notice the word pairs I used? These are

common combinations of words that appear together

and always in that order and they're useful to

notice because they can help you sound really

fluent when speaking and writing in English.

You probably know a few already: 'black and white',

'salt and pepper'. Can you think of any more?
