Learning from Idioms The final test of this term is coming soon. I am reviewing hard on all the subjects, including Chinese, Math, and English. Today I reviewed Chinese. I first reviewed the synonyms and antonyms. There were a lot of synonyms. I first looked at this one. What does “very” go to? Yes, “especially”! There’s another antonym here. What does “soft” go to? That’s right! It’s “hard”. Then I reviewed some idioms in Chinese. I looked some idioms about learning. One was about tireless learning. Another was about studying very hard. I always remember the story. It’s about a boy named Kuangheng. He loved learning. His family was very poor, so he digged a hole. The hole was for collecting light from his rich neighbor. That’s how he learned. I think he is very diligent. From these idioms I know that we have to work hard when we are young, or else we won’t have a free choice of selecting jobs when we grow up.
