So I started smoking when I was fourteen. Soon I couldnt wait to smoke as soon as I was free. After a month I couldnt stop smoking. But two years later, I felt what smoking was doing to me. I couldnt run far, I coughed every morning, and I got very weak. So I wanted to stop smoking.

Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you dont understand the culture behind it.For example, if an American boy asks his mother whats for dinner tomorrow, she may say “Ill play it by ear”, that means she doesnt have plans for dinner and she will decide later. Play by ear used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when theyre not talking about music.Therere many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Ne
