3. think about the relationship between humans and animals by listening and debating.
Animal idioms
butterflies in one’s stomach
1. as busy as a(n) _______
2. kill two _______ with one stone
3. When the cat’s away, the _______ will play.
bee
birds
mice
Look at the pictures and complete the idioms with animal names.
4. hold your _______
5. It’s raining _______ and ________.
horses
cats
dogs
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 __________________.
It’s raining cats and dogs
as busy as a bee
Complete the paragraph with the animal idioms above.
If they’re 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
hold your horses
When the cat’s away, the mice will play
kill two birds with one stone
Match the relationships.
pet owner and pet
blind people
and guide dog
horseman and horse
owner and livestock
