Students are encouraged to use idioms in PT3 and SPM examinations.Using relevant and suitable idioms in an essay will help students to get a better mark for their essay. Don't simply use idioms just for the sake of getting better grades for your essay paper, this will backfire if the idioms you use are irrelevant or out of place. You can use idioms in the beginning paragraph or in the body paragraph or in the closing paragraph. It all depends on the topic and suitability of the idioms used. Be careful not to over do it.You might be impressed but it does not necessarily mean the examiner would be. Do not use idioms when writing formal letters or business letters. So, for a better grade use at least three idioms.If you can't write three at least write one idiom in the closing paragraph. Sample Sentences With Idioms...

Henri Nouwen The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares. Alice Walker No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. Abraham Lincoln Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them? Ulysses S. Grant The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. Joseph Roux We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence. Albert Camus Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. Edward W. Howe When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
