2- to be running out of = estar acabando, ou ficando sem algo
3- to show off = se mostrar , se achar, se crescer
4- to turn up = comparecer
5- to get away with = se safar, escapar impune de algo

* I really like when you get up to turn up for my classes every week. I strongly believe that this is a strong signal that you won't give up your dream to speak English. There are a lot of people outside that use to show off by talking English in a very different way. They talk English using Brazilian structures and grammar. Even though we are able to understand what they say, they will be in the doghouse when they face a native american in an advanced conversation. They won't get away with it. As far as I'm concerned , they are running out of time .

* Anselmo, could you please wash the dishes, cook the lunch, feed the dog, take the baby to school and clean the house for me?

*** I can't do this, I give up!
*** It's too hard , I give up!
*** I don't wanna do this anymore, I give up!

* Why didn't Anselmo turn up for the class these days ?

*** I heard that he isn't turning up for class cos' he gave up to learn English.
*** As far as I'm concerned he didn't give up ; he was travelling through Europe , so he coldn't turn up for class these days.
