An idiom is a word or set of words that have a different meaning than the usual & literal meaning of those words. For example, let's look at the idiom, a piece of cake. The literal meaning of a piece of cake is one section or part of a whole cake. However, as an idiom, we use a piece of cake to mean, something that is very easy to do. For example, Jack has been building and repairing computers for a long time. For him, repairing a computer is a piece of cake. Idioms are commonly used in everyday, conversational English. It is more natural to say, That job was a piece of cake, than That job was rather easy for me. I encourage you to study the lessons in this book, and begin using these idioms in your conversations. You will sound more natural when you do so.
