Book and IDIOMS

Book and IDIOMS!

* What is a BOOK?

Books are on the bookshelves (nằm trên kệ sách).

A row of books (một hàng sách) is on each shelf.

Books need to be on your hand and made of paper (làm bằng

giấy)

A book contains pages (trang).

The pages are bound (được giới hạn) between covers (a front

one and a back one) (bìa).

There is a spine (gáy) of the book.

A hardback book has hard covers which can't bend easily.

Otherwise, a paper book has soft covers which is bendable.

A page is also called a leaf. And I'm leafing through the book

(lật sách).

* to be in someone's bad books: If you're in someone's bad books, they are not pleased with you.

- Make sure you don't get in the boss's bad books. If you do, he'll make life hell for you.
