A year ago I paid no attention to English idioms,
36 ___my teacher said again and again that it was important.
One day, I happened to
37 ___an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to
38____. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner shook his head, saying, “You don’t say! You don’t say!” I was
39 ____, I thought, perhaps this is not a
40 topic. Well, I’d
41____ change the topic. So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?
42 ___the way, have you ever
43 ____ there?”
“Certainly, everyone back home will
44 ___me if I leave China without seeing
45 ___” It was great. I said, “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. It is a place of
46 ____.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words, “
47 _____ !” I couldn’t
48 ____asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t ask you to do
49___”, he answered, gently surprised.
I said, “Didn't you say 'You don’t say'?”
Hearing this, the Englishman
50 ____to tears. He began to
51 ____, “'You don't say' actually means 'really?'. It is an
52 ___of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention
53____ English idioms.”
Then I knew I had made fool of
54____. Since then I have been more
55 ____with idioms.
