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.

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.
3. 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
