politician. And yet, if taxes are not raised, some very popular government programs could be cut. And that also can make a politician very unpopular. The questions must be dealt with carefully, the same way you would handle any other hot potato.
⑶ Another expression is not so hot. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer “not so hot”. What she means is she does not feel well. Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something. You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot. That means ____________________________.
⑷ A hot shot is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. The expression was born in the military forces. A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.
⑸ Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger. A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead. An angry person’s neck often becomes red. We say he is hot under the collar.

Dear Li Hua,
Thank you for your letter. I’m sorry to know that you have some trouble with your
spoken English.
Here is some of my advice on improving your spoken English:
First of all, in class you must be active. Get every chance to speak. If you make any
mistake, your teacher and your classmates will help you. Try to speak English in and after class as much as possible. As you know, practice makes perfect.
Why not find someone with whom you can practise speaking English? Thus you can
help each other.
Don’t lose heart in your spoken English, and don’t be afraid of making any mistake
or being laughed at. As long as you keep on speaking English, you are sure to improve your spoken English. Yours sincerely,
