Conclusion

Idioms are often met in the speech but they make the language more beautiful and expressive. They are hard for understanding. And it is interesting to work with them.

I have learnt a lot of information about idioms, have made the paper work and the presentation. And as a result I have done the set of cards with the idioms on the English and Russian to practice speaking English for other pupils.

I have learnt a lot of idioms and can use them in my speech. Drawing the conclusion I’d like to say: «See you later, alligators! »
