But now, let\\u2019s change the topic.

Today, I\\u2019d like to teach you some animal idioms.

I\\u2019m sure some of them will sound familiar because they are quite popular.

And with a point of view story, you\\u2019re gonna practice the expressions and compare the different grammar points. It\\u2019s the perfect way to learn grammar and new vocabulary without memorizing. The story will be romantic but with an unexpected turn of the events!

Alright! Let\\u2019s talk about idioms now.

Supposing you\'re talking to a friend and he insists that you reveal him a secret.
