idioms - a slideshow of some of the common idioms
Here is a slideshow of some common idioms (round 10) with illustrations and examples. I used this in my class and I hope students will benefit from it, start using it and look at it as a nice way to express themselves ;)
~Reading~ Poem
~*~
Reading
~*~
When you read, words plant a seed
And slowly day by day
Flowers of thoughts grow within,
never fading away
But come to stay, to say
That you are no longer the same
Though still called by your old name
They sweep you by
You resist them or at least try.
But books bind you down
Becoming your crown
& you find yourself walking around
remembering images ,
recalling unheard sounds
singing songs that you read
It’s all in your head!
But a book can be a daily bread
From which your mind and thoughts are fed!
So feed them well
And wisely choose their realm to dwell!
