2.head straight for
ex:
.I'm heading straight for Kayla's homemade chips when I get in .you have to try them .
(if you're going to a friend's house for dinner .maybe there's a gathering and you know they have a signature dish, right like a potluck百乐餐派对. and then you'll go straight for that .)

3.make a mad dash for

ex:
.what it sounds like she must be really mad. because when she came in ,she made a mad dash for her room and slammed the door .
( it doesn't have to mean in an anger in this situation.it sounds like a hobby .but it just means also similar like that sense of urgent that's where you're running towards .)

4.go right for

ex:
.let's go right for the bathrooms. because they'll be a huge line if we don't get there fast. and I don't wanna miss the beginning of the show.
