    Put all one's eggs in one basket

    Not quite. The verbs you've chosen (bring and put) would make better sense in translation. However, as you're well aware, phrasal verbs make no sense!!

    Earth or the Earth

    Both forms (with and without the definite article) appear frequently in publications; in some contexts, only one works, in others, both seem to work: 'Earth' is the name of our planet. As a name, it cannot have a definite article: (Planet) Earth is further from the sun than (planet) Mars. 'the earth' would suggest that there are other 'earths', and we are referring to the one we live on: The ISS rotates as it circles the earth.

    A little vs little

    Hello Karola, I don't know what lesson you're talking about, but I hope the following will help: When you say "a little", you mean a small amount. On the other hand, when you say "little" before a noun, it also means a small amount, but this time the amount is almost nothing, not enough. Examples: - "I have a little money" >> a small amount, but it's enough. - "I have little money" >> a small amount, but almost nothing, not enough to get what I want. So, your example sentence above means: "a small amount of coffee is good for your metabolism." Best regards
