Take the bull by the horns
刊登日期: 2019.12.06作者: Grace Tse
What are the differences between a bull and a cow ? A bull is the mature male of the species “cattle”. It is more muscular and aggressive than the female of the species, the cow. The bulls typically grow horns. If they see you as a threat, they may injure you. When farmers want to control a bull, they will grab its horns and then pull it to the ground.

刊登日期: 2019.11.08作者: Grace Tse
If an English-speaking friend tells you that he is under the weather, does it mean that he is standing under the sky ? At that moment, is the weather rainy, sunny or windy ?

In seventh heaven
刊登日期: 2019.10.25作者: Grace Tse
While many of you are excited to have fun on Halloween（萬聖節）on the 31st of October, few of you know much about All Saints' Day（諸聖節）and All Souls' Day （追思已亡節）held respectively on 1st and 2nd of November.
Traditionally, Christians come together to ask for God's blessing to protect them from evil on Halloween, to remind themselves to live as saints on All Saints' Day, and to offer prayers to the souls of the deceased in purgatory so that they can go to heaven. What does heaven actually look like?

All that glitters is not gold
刊登日期: 2019.10.04作者: Grace Tse
An English expression says that all that glitters is not gold. This short witty sentence is true because apart from gold, a lot of other materials can produce small, bright flashes of reflected light, particularly under the sun. Can you name some of these materials?
Metaphorically,“all that glitters is not gold”implies that someone who looks nice could be actually bad.
My parents always tell me to be cautious about making new friends because all that glitters is not gold.
