Answer

  1. up to (what’re you up to tonight? means what’re you doing tonight? It’s slightly more informal.)
  2. figure (you’ve got a lovely figure = your body is nice and slim and in good condition)
  3. breath (I was out of breath, so I needed to get my breath back = get breathing back to normal – act it out!)
  4. master (a class led by a master / an expert)
  5. flea (a flea market is street market where people sell old stuff, antiques, etc.)
  6. lie-in (if you have a lie-in, you stay in bed in the morning longer than you usually do)
  7. Fair enough (= ‘if you have that opinion, that’s fine. I can understand why you have it. But I don’t share it!’)
  8. it up (if you take up a sport or a hobby, you start doing it)
  9. fiddle with (act out ‘fiddling’ with something with your fingers)
  10. Isn’t it? (we often ask negative questions to confirm our own opinions. Here, it means ‘I think it must be full of old women. Am I right?’!)
