The expression “the full package” is an idiom in English that means “the complete offer” or “everything included.” It is used to describe a person, product, or experience that has all the desirable qualities or features.

“Shake Things Up” is our A2.1 course, the first sublevel of A2 according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). The expression refers to making big changes in order to improve a situation, bring new energy, or break from routine. It implies introducing new ideas, methods, or approaches to make things more exciting or effective.
