Idioms

Hi!! Let us see how we can use idioms to describe emotions. Today I will share with all of you 3 interesting idioms. 

1) weep with joy: cry out of happiness.

Ex: When Mimi saw the cat was badly bruised but alive, he wept with joy. 


2) quaking in one's boots: when someone is extremely scared.

Ex: Hishamoto was quaking in his boots when he saw his village flattened by the tsunami and dead bodies washed-up amidst the debris.
 
3) rooted to the spot: unable to move because of fear.

Lina and her son stood rooted to the spot as they saw a mighty wall of water approaching them.

  4. zanna, about your question:

    In my opinion, in order to be a good speaker, we should try to speak in that language. In other words, we should try to speak in English.

    Just have a chat with your friends and family members in English.

    The most important thing to ponder: Never feel afraid of making mistakes. Remember this, as a normal human being, everyone makes mistakes :)

    Mistakes are the best teacher and we learn through mistakes right?? ^_^
