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.There are 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. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you dont necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? Its not about the color of your hand! Youre a green hand when you are very new at your work and dont have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?11 .

They said that for only $900 I could attend a weekend event that a number of the most famous modeling agenies(中介) from around the world would attend. At 13, my hopes of fame and fortune(名利) clouded my judgment and I begged my parents to let me go. We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and at last they agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies. For .months, any boredom or disappointment that I faced disappeared because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model. I thought I would appear in the covers of famous magazines!Of course, I wasnt signed, but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 59 (about 1.75 meters) I could be a success. I sprayed for a growth spurt(冲刺) because I could not imagine giving up my dream. I met with a local modeling agency and the agent required $500 for classes, $500 for a photo shoot(拍摄), and $300 for other fees. My parents only agreed after hours and hours of my begging.The agency sent me out on a few auditions but with every day I did not receive a call, I grew more disappointed. The final chance came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling. There was an open call(公开挑it) in New York City. We spent hours driving and spent another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short, I could hardly stand it.Years later, I realize that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didnt actually love modeling, just the idea of it.1 wanted to be special and I naively(天真地)decided to reach an impossible goal. The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future.21 .
