Animal idioms
Complete the paragraph with the animal idioms
English idioms are a way of adding colour to the language. For example, instead of saying “It’s raining heavily”, you could say1 . 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 are2 . If they’re rushing into something and should wait and be patient, you could say “3 ”. Learning idioms can be fun, especially when we compare them to Chinese equivalents. Take, for example, “4 ” (people do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent) and “5 ” (solve two problems with one action) -- are there corresponding idioms in Chinese.
