      Preface

      This book is designed for people who are learning English as a foreign language and wish to improve their use of English proverbs and sayings. This is the second set of 101 proverbs and sayings by the author.

      This book contains 101 proverbs and sayings that are frequently used in English, arranged alphabetically. Each proverb or saying is provided with an example of its use. A short list of topics where the proverbs and sayings are often used is also provided. The examples are provided as answers to questions from the IELTS test, but the book can be used by any teenage or adult learner who is at intermediate or advanced level.

      1. A breath of fresh air

      Meaning: used to describe something new, fresh and exciting

      Example: How long have you been doing that job?

      Oh, I only started this job last month. I felt that my previous job was a dead end. There was no chance of promotion. This new job is like a breath of fresh air. At the new company, things are done very differently and I feel that my success depends almost entirely on my own abilities.

      Topics: work, travel, free time, outdoor activities, change, relaxation and stress

      2. A fool and his money are soon parted

      Meaning: it is easy to get money from a stupid person

      Example: Do you like to follow fashion?

      No, I think it is a waste of money. Lots of people like to follow it and spend a lot of money on it.
