In the mid-term exam of statistics, I just skated over it. So when I started to work on the exam paper I realized I had let myself skate on thin ice. I do not want it happen again, so it is better for me to get my skates on for the preparation before the final exam.

Anna, Russia
It is my strong belief that it is quite tough to be in time in such a hasty and dynamic modern world. Nevertheless if you charish your reputation you always have to get your skates on trying to manage your schedule. Of course, being late for negotiations a businessman can invent some excuse skating over something. However dishonesty and bad time-management leads to skating on thin ice and that can turn out not in your favour.P.S. Thank you very much for your interesting lessons, perfect actor work and creative presentation of information))))

My mother says "Hurry up! Get your skates on and let's go! Your wedding service is going to begin!"

And then I woke up with a start :-)

My mom usually complains about my slowness, so in english she should say:"you have to get your skates on". My friend wants to try on a risky sport. I'm so afraid of the danger that may happen to him.

My wife seems very lack on managing time. whenever we plan to go somewhere together, I will speak to her "Get your skates on" several times. Even with that, we sometimes still go late. I feel chasing her is not the way but skating over it, therefore, I would rather cheat her by telling her an early deadline. especially when the event is important, and I do not want to skate on thin ice to miss the timing.

Tania, Sevastopol, Ukraine
Hi! I'm usually very busy and often I have a little time to do all things I want, so I usually say to myself: "Tania, dear! Please get your skates on". As I'm very lazy, it usually doesn't work. Even when I sleep at the middle of the day I'm skating on thin ice. At any moment my mum may come and say that I'm late for school. And again I have to put my skates on. Luckily, I'm never late for my English lessons, as my teacher disrespects unpunctual students. Other teachers usually skate over this problem.

Demet,Turkey
I was on the brink of saying about the white lie I had told him the day before yesterday despite knowing the fact of skating on thin ice. Because I might have fallen out with him and split up but to my suprise Meanmine I started to talk about this, he wanted me to get my skates on with reminding the possibilty of being late to cinema which I forgot already. But I think he knew the white lie I had said and just wanted to skated over it.

My middle brother and I often used to get our skates on so as not to be late at a first lesson when we had been studying first course at ONUA. Finally after my brother bought a car, we got rid of this annoying tradition. Finishing an important civil suit not on time is like skating on thin ice, so I don't usually do that.I don't like situations in which people prefer skating over an important question which needs immidiately solving to tell the truth.

It may be punished seriously by me!....Oh,sorry...Who am I going to punish?

Hi Teacher and fellows,Indeed,this is the best programme I have ever seen and attended. As my days are very busy, I get my skates on and plug my computer on just to watch if the Teacher has presented a new video. It's fabulous! Whenever I watch it, I do not skate on a thin ice because he has been teaching me a lot! And, if I have some issues to be solve, I do neither not skate over it once I am able to ask for extra information.Thats all!

Every day I have classes at 12.30 and I have to take the 11.45 bus. But sometimes the bus arrives earlier than I expected. I am walking slowly and leisurely when it's coming! This means that I have to get my skates on to reach it. Sometimes when I see the door about to close, I still try my utmost to get on, though I know that I am skating on thin ice. The problem is I do not know how to deal with this. I just skate over it. If I miss this bus, will the next one allow me to get on?

Last night,my friend and I went to bed at 3am because we tried to finish our homework. Consequently, we woke up late in the morning. We just had 5 minutes left to go to school so we had to get our skates on. But we seemed to be skating on thin ice when I drove 70km/h. I knew that my friend was so scare but she just skated over it.

If you still hope to find a piece of the yesterday chocolate cake in the fridge, you should get your skates on. I would otherwise gather all my bravery and attack the kitchen in the night. I know, mum wouldn't like it a lot, so I'm going to skate on thin ice.

Tyoma: Yesterday I got stuck in a traffic jam while going to school by bus. I really had to get my skates on to be in time for my class. I hadn't prepared my homework for that lesson, so I think I was skating on thin ice. But fortunately, our teacher skated over checking our homework,so I didn't get an F, which was great.Nusha: I had so little time to prepare for my Biology contest, yesterday that I really had to get my skates on to revise. In fact, I knew I wouldn't have much time for it, so taking the challenge on was skating on thin ice for me. Anyway, I'm ready to skate over my results if they turn out bad.
