Ibn Rochd Lower-Secondary School

Abdelhaq — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 21:46:00 GMT

everybody !!!

Welcome to this newly-born blog.The idea behind creating such site is double-fold. Firstly, it's meant to provide secondary students in Tangiers and those in Ibn Rochd Secondary School in particular with insightful ideas, exercises and news about their school and their English progress. Secondly, I deem it important to share my experience with other secondary English teachers and thus get a constructive feedback that will surely help us modify, promote and exchange our teaching perspectives. Those who are interested are warmly welcome to drop their articles in this Forum. So, I invite both students and teachers to feel free and express their opinions about this blog. Thanks in advance.

PROVERBS AND IDIOMS

Abdelhaq — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 15:56:00 GMT

Proverbs

Between the devil and the deep sea :To choose between two equally bad alternatives in a serious dilemma.
Where there's a will there's a way : When a person really wants to do something, he will find a way of doing it.
A burnt child dreads fire : A bad experience or a horrifying incident may scar one's attitude or thinking for a lifetime.
First come, first served : The first in line will be attended to first.
A friend in need is a friend indeed : A friend who helps when one is in trouble is a real friend.
Discretion is the better part of valor : If you say discretion is the better part of valor, you mean that avoiding a dangerous or unpleasant situation is sometimes the most sensible thing to do.
A hungry man is an angry man : A person who does not get what he wants or needs is a frustrated person and will be easily provoked to rage.
Empty vessels make the most noise : Those people who have a little knowledge usually talk the most and make the greatest fuss.
A man is as old as he feels : A person's age is immaterial - it is only when he thinks and feels that he is ageing that he actually becomes old.
Great talkers are little doers : Those people who talk a lot and are always teaching others usually do not do much work. An idle brain is the devil's workshop One who has nothing to do will be tempted to do many mischievous acts.
An ounce of discretion is worth a pound of wit : It is better to be careful and discrete than to be clever. Faint heart never won fair lady To succeed in life one must have the courage to pursue what he wants.
A penny saved is a penny gained : By being thrifty one will be able to save up.
A rolling stone gathers no moss : A person who never settles in one place or who often changes his job will not succeed in life ; one who is always changing his mind will never get anything done.
As you sow, so you shall reap : One will either enjoy or suffer the consequences of his earlier actions or inactions.
Barking dogs seldom bite : Those who make loud threats seldom carry them out. Better late than never To do something that is right, profitable, or good a little late is still better than not doing it at all.
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush : Something that one already has is better than going after something seemingly more worthwhile that one may not be able to get.
Birds of a feather flock together : People of the same sort of character or belief always go together.
Call a spade a spade : If you say that someone calls a spade a spade, you mean that they speak frankly and directly, often about embarrassing or unpleasant subjects; an informal expression.
Charity begins at home : A person's first obligation should be to help the member of his own family before he can begin thinking of talking about helping others.
Dead men tell no lies ( often used as an argument for killing someone whose knowledge of a secret may cause one loss or get into serious trouble.)
A great talker is a great liar : A smooth and persuasive talker may be a good liar.
Every cloud has a silver lining : If you say that every cloud has a silver lining, you mean that every sad or unpleasant situation has a positive side to it. If you talk about silver lining you are talking about something positive that comes out of a sad or unpleasant situation.
All that glitters is not gold : Do not be deceived by things or offers that appear to be attractive.
Eat to live, but do not live to eat : Man was created for a divine purpose and he has a destiny with his Creator - he was not born just to enjoy food.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket : One should not risk everything he has in a single venture.
Every dog has its day : Everyone will get a period of success or satisfaction during his lifetime.
Every one can find fault, few can do better : It is easier to find fault in other people's actions or methods than to do it properly or correctly.
Any time means no time : When an event is not decided on or planned earlier it will never take place.
Fair exchange is no robbery :A contract is fair as long as both the parties understand and agree to the conditions willingly; after a deal is closed neither side can turn around and say that he was unfairly treated.
Fire is a good servant but a bad master : Fire, like any other manmade tool or device, will serve man well only when it is controlled and used wisely.
