- To show that using idioms our speech becomes more beautiful and more diverse , open new horizons in communication and the expression becomes brighter .
Human's speech is an instrument of his thinking.
Human’s speech can be :
- literate
- illiterate
Illiterate speech conforms to:
- a low level of culture;
- small volume of words;
- missing of idioms and epithets;
- bad pronunciation
Deficiency of a habit to read every day and learn something new leads to a lacking of intellection and, consequently, poor speech.
How to improve your lexical resources, speech and, thus, become smarter ?
It is not a secret that literate speech enriched in big quantity of words and especially idiomatic expressions or IDIOMS.
Reading , learning and using the IDIOMS make person’s speech more literate , better and brighter, doesn’t it?
To prove that we decided to ask our classmates to think over a simple story without idioms and with ones! That ’ s what we have got!

Dialogues (written by D.Avilova 7 form A)
- As you can see from examples,
- IDIOM is something NEW which can be used not only as colloquial expression but also in formal style and in a slang.
We can express the same information in different ways , using the different language level, which directly depends on a person’s intellection!
Analyzing it ,as we can notice, idiomatic expressions strengthen understanding of language culture and the culture of intellection.
Our examples have shown us that forming a thought through a speech, which is rich of idioms, we reflect a higher level of our intellection!
