    ENGLISH 7 [REVIEWER]

    IDIOMS

    It is an expression that cannot be understood from the meanings of its separate words but must be
    learned as a whole.

    Examples:

     Actions speak louder than words


    People's intentions can be judged better by what they do than what they say.

     At the drop of a hat


    Meaning: without any hesitation; instantly.

     A hot potato
    Speak of an issue (mostly current) which many people are talking about and which is usually
    disputed.

     Barking up the wrong tree


    Looking in the wrong place. Accusing the wrong person.

     Beat around the bush


    Avoiding the main topic. Not speaking directly about the issue.

    SLANG

    It refers to words, phrases and uses that are regarded as very informal and often restricted to special
    context or peculiar to a specified profession class and the like.

    Examples:

     Frenemy:
    This combination of “friend” and “enemy” describes a person who is a little bit of both, perhaps
    a friend with whom one experiences regular conflict. — “You’d be a lot happier if you stopped
    hanging out with your frenemy.”

     Bromance:
    This combination of “brother” and “romance” describes an intense friendship between two
    straight men. — “I haven’t seen Michael since he started hanging out with Jeremy. Their
    bromance is epic.”

     Goat:
    Current usage is actually a compliment, as this is now an acronym that stands for “greatest of
    all time.” — “I don’t care what you say, because Tom Brady is the goat.”

     Bae: A term of endearment, usually for romantic partners, but possibly for close friends as
    well. — “Bae, you’re the best.”

     Busted: To your grandparents, “busted” probably meant that something was broken. To your
    parents, it means getting caught doing something wrong. The latest use? As an
    adjective to mean “ugly.” — “No, I won’t go out with your little sister. She’s busted.”

     Scanning is a fast reading technique.

     Volume refers to how loud or soft your voice is.

     In scanning, you don’t need to read or understand every word.

     Slang is very informal speech or writing used by exclusive group.

     Use clues on the page, such as headings and titles, to help you.

     Scanning is used to obtain specific information from a piece of text.

     Slang is specific colloquialism invented for humor and vividness in expressions.

     Idiom has a meaning different from the dictionary definition of the individual words.

     Many texts use A-Z order. These include everyday materials such as the phone book
    and indexes of books.

     Idiom is a fixed expression that has a figurative meaning, which means you cannot infer
    its meaning based on the words that comprise it
