Activity 5
Complete the paragraph with the animal idioms in Activity 4.
English idioms are a way of adding colour to the language. For example, instead of saying “It's raining heavily”, you could say “_____________________________”. Another reason to use idioms is that they are concise. For example, to describe someone who is always working or busy doing something, we can say they are_________________. If we are rushing into something and should wait and be patient, you could say “__________________”. Learning idioms can be fun, especially when we compare them to Chinese equivalents. Take, for example, “____________________________________”(People do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent) and “___________________________”(solve two problems with one action)--are there corresponding idioms in Chinese
It is raining cats and dogs
