quality. It shapes your mind to religious, social and economic patterns when you grow up to be an active

citizen. At a young age, we do not realize the value of discipline, As children, we merely long for

unlimited freedom, without understanding the meaning of discipline. An athlete disciplines himself and

keeps himself fit. He refrains from smoking, observes good food habits and keeps good health..

birds were returning to their homes after a five - month warm sojourn. He remembered his

childhood picnic with his parents to Vedanthangal, where he had seen flocks of birds

nestled among the trees. Dad had hired a telescope to give him a closer view of the nest,

where he saw tiny little nestlings-five of them! Dad had then told him that even thoughthese families resided here, they would soon go back to their homes far in the cold regions

of the planet. His fathers words rang clear in his ears You see Kumar, though they have

stayed here for almost half a year and have enjoyed our climate and the food available, they

know that their home is in the Arctic. And theres no place like home, is there?

Kumar gazed at the flock flying home from where they had come. But slowly his

vision blurred as tears filled his eyes. Home is where the heart is Kumar thought,

No study of English can be complete without a reference dictionary of idioms. A very

useful and easily available reference material is The Collins Dictionary of English Idioms.

This dictionary contains clearly explained meanings of over three thousand common English

idioms. To make the meaning even clearer, and to show you how the idiom can be used, each

idiom is provided with a suitable sample sentence . In this dictionary, the emphasis is on true

idioms. These are expressions whose meanings cannot be easily worked out from the words they

contain. The dictionary also provides a great many variations in the way these idioms are used.

The main emphasis , however is on providing an understanding of the meaning of the idioms,

rather than attempting to be a complete guide to idiomatic usage. (145 words)
