it goes without saying – само собой разумеется
to take the wind out of someone’s sails – выбивать почву из-под ног
to speak like a book_ – говорить как по писаному
for next to nothing – за бесценок (даром).
Вроде все.

You asked me to tell you about… Well, …

Unfortunately, I’d better go now as I’ve got loads of homework to do (as always). Take care and keep in touch!
All the best,
Alex
