Effective English Language Tips: Brush up on some handy sayings!

To begin with, Sayings are a well-known and wise statement, which often has a meaning different from the simple meanings of the words it contains. Using them would indisputably help to spice up your speech, story or performance. Logically, you should get the situations they are apt to use with a correct word order. So, let\u2019s cover some of them. 1.      Beauty is only skin deep A: I wish to marry a good looking girl. B. Well, I think beauty is only skin deep. It is said to emphasize that a person\u2019s character is more important than how they look. 2.       Once bitten twice shy A: When are you are applying for the job again. B:  I have become doubtful now. You know, once bitten twice shy. It is said when you are frightened to do something again because you had an unpleasant experience doing it the first time.   3.      Two wrongs don\u2019t make a right A: She has spread a rumour about me. So, I\u2019m thinking of doing the same to her to teach her a lesson. B:  You can teach her a lesson but I think two wrongs don\u2019t make a right. You should look for another way. It is said to emphasize that it is not acceptable to do something bad to someone just because they did something bad to you first. 4.      You can never tell said A: Undoubtedly, she will win the competition. She won last year. B: Don\u2019t be so sure. You can never tell. It is used to mean that you can never know or be certain. 5.      The more, the merrier A: How can people should we invite to the party? B: I suggest inviting as many as possible-the more, the merrier. It is used to say an occasion will be more enjoyable if a lot of people are there. 6.      Easier said than done A: My employer wants me to submit the reports by this weekend. B: Why she doesn\u2019t get that it\u2019s easier said than done? It is said when something seems like a good idea but it will be difficult to do. 7.      It\u2019s a small world A: Guess what? I met my old student in Japan. B:  Oh, really? A: I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes. I shouted, \u201cIt\u2019s a small world.\u201d It is said to show your surprise that people or events are connected. 8.      Out of sight, out of mind A: My friend hasn\u2019t called me for months since she moved to the U.S. B:  C\u2019mon, you must accept the fact-out of sight, out of mind. It is said to emphasize when something or someone cannot be seen, it is easy to forget them. 9.      Blood is thicker than water A: My eyes welled-up listening to his sacrifices for his sister.
