2.13. Idioms / Diction / English writing

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Olga, your academic guide.

Time to talk about idioms!
An idiom is a fixed group of words with a special meaning which is different from the meanings of the words that form it.

English is rich in idioms. They are frequently used in speech and writing.

They help to make your language sound natural and idiomatic.

But in using them foreign learners of English should remember two points:
1. Most idioms are informal or colloquial in style and can be used in conversation; but a few are slang and should be used with care.
2. Many idioms have become clishés and are no longer fresh or interesting.
