A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk.
As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, saying "You don't say" "You don't say!" I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. "Well. I'd better change the topic." So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?" "Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent." He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. "The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it." Soon I was interrupted again by his order " You don’t say!" I couldn't help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well. I didn't request you to do so," he answered, greatly surprised. 1 said, "Didn't you say you don't say?" Hearing this, the Englishman laughed into tears. He began to explain, "You don't say actually means really? It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms."
Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.

Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today's world. Well, I'm here to give you 1 .
I wanted to do something very 2 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 3 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 4 it looked almost new. I was so 5 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.
I could 6 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 7 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 8 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so 9 . It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 10 lessons.“Learn to play the piano, and I'll get you one” was my husband's 11 .
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 12 this expensive gift.
Of course, the 13 awoke, and my son was thrilled (激动的) with my reaction. Many kisses were 14 and I immediately wanted him to 15 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 16 what I was expecting. Then I 17 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother 18 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 19 and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you'd love to 20 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
P. S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.
