* CHEER UP:
This is a very easy expression to understand. "Cheer" is like an encouragement...the word indicates a change in emotions, or feelings, from being down and depressed to happy and joyful. If someone seems to be sad or unhappy but you want to tell that person not to be sad, then you can say "cheer up." It means the same thing as, "be happy!" Be careful though! there are times in life when it's okay to feel sad about a bad situation...so it may be better to say "I understand, I hope things bet better for you soon" instead of "cheer up!"
KEY EXPRESSION PRACTICE:
1. You're sad because you dropped your ice cream? Cheer up! Here's another one!
2. Cheer up! It's raning today, but the sun will come out tomorrow.
3. You look sad. Cheer up! You've got a lot of reasons to be happy.
