enjoy. So there are some words which might be helpful to make your

to worktakesabout half an hourby train.’‘If the roads are flooded,
we’ll have to make the journey by boat.’

short visit, you go on/make/take a trip. ‘How was your trip to San
Francisco?’ ‘She’s away on a business trip and won’t be back until
Monday.’
6. Travel (uncountable): is the general activity of moving about the
worldor fromplace to place.‘She enjoysforeigntravel immensely.’
A word with a similar meaning is travelling. This –ing form is often
usedafterverb and prepositions.‘Ihate travelling at my own.’ ‘The
job involves a certain amount of travelling.’ (NOT ‘of travel’) In
compound nouns, travel is used: ‘foreign travel’, ‘air travel’ (NOT
‘air travelling’).

Day 4: Choosing the Right Word (General Words Vs Exact Words)
Some wordshave a general meaning,e.g.big,beautiful,goodsay,make kill.
These wordsare useful,especiallywhenyoubegintolearnEnglish,because
you can make use of them in a wide range of situations:
A big meal, a big kitchen, a big mistake, etc
For each general word, however, there is usually another word or phrase
which comes closer to what you want to say, and which may also sound
more natural in the context:
A substantial meal, a specious kitchen, a serious mistake, etc.
A major step towards fluency in English is getting to know plenty of exact
words which can replace the more general words you have learned.
Nexttime we will see some more exact words, till then keep writing to me

Day 8(Thursday): Good evening Readers,
Yesterday I got an email from one of you asking regarding the origin of the following
idioms. Let's see into that:
21. Burn the candle at both ends:
Meaning: to live at a dangerous place with adverse effects on one's health.
Example: No wonder Mary is ill. She has been burning the candle at both ends for a
long time.
Origin: In 18th century England, the phrase was used literally. You would be wasting
a valuable candle if you attempted to burn it at both ends. At the same time, you
would likely to end up with a nasty wax burn on your hands in the process.
22. Get up on the wrong side of the bed:
Meaning: to start the day in a less-than-sunny mood.
Example: I got up on the wrong side of bed yesterday, and everything that could go
wrong did!
Origin: In Roman times, it was considered bad luck to get out of bed on the left side.
Hence if you exited on that wrong side your day was fated to be a bad one.
I appreciate the curiosityof the readers and would welcome all kinds of queries. I will
try my level best to answer all of them. Happy to respond to your words, drop them
at nivedita.tinna@gmail.com
Day 9: Dear Readers,
Today we are going to look for some more daily use idioms.
23. An arm and a leg:
Meaning: Very expensive.
Use: It cost me an arm and a leg to take my trip to Australia.
24. Over the moon:
Meaning: Extremely pleased or happy.
Use: I was over the moon when I saw my entrance exams result.
25. Jumping the Gun:
Meaning: Doing or starting something too early.
Use: You are talking your IELTS test next week? Aren't you jumping the gun. You've
only just started studying.
26. Once in a Blue Moon:
Meaning: Happening very rarely.
Use: He comes round to see me once in a blue moon.
27. Chip on his shoulder:
Meaning: Feeling inferior or having a grievance about something
Use: He's got a chip on his shoulder.
Well do enjoy it and keep writing to me at nivedita.tinna@gmail.com.
Day 10: My Worthy Readers,
I feel pleased whenever I open my inbox and find one or two mail from your side. Do
keep writing to me at nivedita.tinna@gmail.com.
Today we are going to look into some more idioms, so that your language can be
more impressive. Let's have a look at that:
28. A Drop in the Ocean:
Meaning: a very small part of something much bigger.
Use: The money sent by comic relief to help poverty in Africa is just a drop in the
ocean. They need far more than this.
29. A Blessing in Disguise:
Meaning:something positive that is not organised until later.
Use:Getting a low score the first time I took my exams was a blessing in disguise. It
forced me to study extremely hard so I got a much better score the next time.
30. Actions Speak Louder than Words:
Meaning: It is better to actually do something rather than just talking about it.
Use: We have to actually do something about global warming. Action speak louder
than words.
31. It's a small world:
Meaning: meeting someone you would not have expected to.
Use: I bumped into Jenny in town the other day. It's a small world.
Day 11: Hello Reader,
In our daily life we are using words like watching,looking and seeing interchangeably
but these words have different meaning. Let’s have a look at this:
32. Watching: it is used for things we look at carefully usually for moving objects. For
example we use watch with television as the pictures are moving there.
33. Looking: is for things we see with an intention.
34. Seeing: is used for things that come into our sight without intention.
I hope from today onwards you will definitely going to make the best use of the above
given words. Do write to me at nivedita.tinna@gmail.com.
