To pull your socks up
John was very very lazy student. he didn't go to school at all. even if he did, he was sleeping whole day.
He did not have many friends. He just wanted to be alone. He just hated everyone, including his parents.
All teachers hated him... except Mr.Rideldo.
Mr. Rideldo: John, I understand that you have difficulty in your family. but listen you have very good spirit. I see that. and i want you to find something you really like to do.
John did not like talking to Mr. Rideldo. John wanted him to leave him alone. but never mr. Redeldo did.
One day, he heard that Mr. Redeldo died from the accident. it was right after Mr. Redeldo gave John an advice.
Mr. Redeldo: John, if you dont like school, thats fine. you can quit it. but before quitting it why not try hard. try to make things different. if you didnt like it after that, quit it. I wont say no more... please.
John cried more than anyone did. after all, mr. Redeldo was like his father.
Today is the first day for john to change his life, getting ready to leave home.
John *pulled his socks up and said in this head
"Mr. Redeldo, Im coming to shcool"
British idiom lesson
*To pull your socks up =To make an effort to improve your work or behaviour because it is not good enough
so this is the real story behind this idiom.
