Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what’s for dinner tomorrow, she may say “I’ll play it by ear”, that means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later. "Play by ear" used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they’re not talking about music.
There’re many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, "Give me a hand", you don’t necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It’s not about the color of your hand! You’re a green hand when you are very new at your work and don’t have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.
Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?

When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When
you read, it gives you a good example for writing.
Secrets of good reading:
Try to read at the right level. Read something that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words
to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in
your notebook. But you don't have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read:
mark with them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and
write them in your vocabulary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly . For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than
two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. For example, you could read for fifteen
minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to
spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers. There are
