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.

Perfect Two ^_^
There are some metaphors that we can learn from this video. A metaphor can be defined as a figure of speech comparing two things but without using the words "like" or "as".
For instance: You're the apple to my pie,
You're the straw to my berry,
You're the smoke to my high and many more.
You're the smoke to my high and many more.
Can you identify other examples of the metaphors on your own?
