Language is prominent in daily life. Without language, society cannot
develop. In detail, language is an essential tool in every activity: politics,
economy, education, etc. Nowadays, the more society develops, the more
social activities are, and as a result, the more diverse language is.
Everything has two sides, language is not an exception. On one side,
language makes society develop, on other side, language diversity is also
barrier of development. Each country has its own language; even one
country has many different languages. To break the disadvantages of
language barrier and as result of politic and economic domi nance of
English empiricism in the past, English has been considered ―the world’s
language‖.
Learning English as ESL, learners have many difficulties; one of them is
learning English idioms. Idiom is common part of language, native
speakers like to use idioms in communication so frequently that they even
do not realize while using them. One of the key to speaking, writing like a
native is the ability to use and understand casual expressions or idioms.
English is full of idioms. You will not learn these expressions in a standard
textbook, but you hear them all the time in everyday conversation. You
also meet them in books, newspapers, magazines, TV shows, and on the
internet. Idioms add color to the language, learning idioms is really a
challenge for English learners, however.
