This Week's Idioms

 

In our Advanced 2 class, we've been looking at Animal Idioms. One such idiom was, "let sleeping dogs lie". This means, "don't mention something that happened in the past to avoid arguments or problems." The Guardian Newspaper have taken up this idiom and converted it into its literal meaning, and have organised a photographic competition about sleeping dogs. See some of the entries here.

This Week's Farewell

 

Unlike the former British prime minister who has also passed away this week, the Spanish writer and economist, José Luis Sampedro advocated an economy that was more humane and more caring, and one that helped develop the dignity of people.

 

Did you know that one of his novels, La Senda del Drago, is set in the Canary Islands?
