The soldiers had orders to shoot the deserter on sight. On sight. We'd all better arrive on time tomorrow; otherwise we might miss the train. On time. "You're going to go on a long journey", said the fortune-teller as I fell out of the window. On a journey. |

"On no account are you to accept lifts from strangers", parents tell their children. On no account - used when saying that someone must not, for any reason, do something. Did giving a lift to strangers in your vehicle ended up troubling you? |

I see Marc's put his house on the market. Mind you, I don't think it'll be very easy to sell. On the market. Don't you hate it when a telephone operator puts you on hold. On hold. Your book hasn't come yet. But it's on order, so it should arrive by Friday. On order. |

I've put on a lot of weight lately. I think I'd better go on a diet again. On a diet. All Sarah's friends were busy, so she had to go to the party on her own. On someone's own. Tonight is important. So remember, be on your best behaviour. On someone's best behaviour. |

Before buying anything, it's a good idea to send for a sample on approval. On approval. I hate planning things; it's much more fun to do everything on impulse. On impulse. I never pay cash; I always get everything on credit. On credit. |

The Marketing Manager isn't here this week. She's gone to Buenos Aires on business. On business. Don't write to me between June 1st and the 15th as I shall be on holiday then. On holiday. We'd all better arrive on time tomorrow; otherwise we might miss the train. On time. |

Не знаю. Уже не помню, чем руководствовалась, когда сделала тут тексты. (Может, чтоб две одинаковы фраз подряд не шли? Или чтоб на обычки было похоже...) Возможно, фразы тоже будут хороши.
Я потом попечатаю этот словарик и определюсь на практике.
