序言

Native speakers of English often use idioms and metaphors to make their conversation richer, more colourful and more interesting. Being able to understand them and know how to use them is a useful skill for those learning the language. In this book, Kevin (Wu Keyan) and his co-author have clearly divided the idioms into sections that make it easy to follow and find what you are looking for. As well as just presenting the idioms, they have provided a large number of practical examples, thereby illustrating the contexts in which they are used. We believe that you find this book to be an invaluable resource that you will come back to again and again.
