But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be surprised. Gently shaking his head，shrugging his shoulders, he said，“You dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a right topic. “Well, Id better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted（打断）again by his words: “You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “ You dont say actually means really! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.” I realized I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.

It seems that many British people are becoming more and more interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is.However, eating out can also be expensive, so British people do not eat out every night. When having a date with friends, or having a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.As in all cultures, there are many rules of manners about eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to speak with your mouth full then you are eating.Most British cities have a large collection of food as well as British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Japanese and many, many more.When people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a “takeaway”. This means that they order from a takeout restaurant by telephone, and then go to get it. Many take-out restaurants also send it to your house. All you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!46 .

So, my question is-why fill up all this free time with housework. Parents expect their children to get good grades, be good at sports, and be popular with other kids. However, there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well. Its not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework. Parents and children both have jobs. Parents jobs are in the workplace. Their childrens jobs are at school.The only difference is that parents get paid and children dont. Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility. But this is just a trick. Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy.Yours，OverloadedLetter BBoth parents and children have jobs.
