Word Chain

Permainan ini dilakukan dengan cara semua peserta permainan menyebutkan sebuah kata bahasa Inggris secara bergantian. Bila peserta pertama selesai menyebutkan sebuah kata, maka peserta kedua harus menyebutkan sebuah kata yang huruf awalnya diambil dari huruf akhir dari kata yang telah disebutkan oleh peserta pertama. Misalnya, peserta pertama mengucapkan kata table, peserta kedua mengucapkan kata ear, peserta ketiga ring, peserta keempat go, dan seterusnya.

Bila jumlah peserta hanya empat orang, maka setelah peserta keempat kembalilah ke peserta pertama. Kalau salah satu peserta dalam kelompok tidak bisa menyebutkan kata berikutnya, itu berarti ia kalah dan harus diberi hukuman. Hukumannya bisa ditetapkan bersama-sama. Setelah hukuman dilaksanakan, permainan dilanjutkan kembali. (Permainan ini bisa juga dilakukan secara tertulis.)

Idiom: Black & White

Colours are the theme of today's idioms – ‘black’ and ‘white’ to be precise. The first one is ‘give someone a black look’. We ‘give someone a black look’ when we want to show them we are angry or displeased with them, maybe because they have said or done something to upset us. Listen to the idiom in an example.

‘My teacher gave me a black look because I was talking with my friend when he was trying to explain the lesson.’

The second idiom is ‘to tell a white lie’. We ‘tell a white lie’ when we want to be polite or we don't want to hurt someone's feelings by telling them the truth.

‘Julie asked me if I liked her new hairstyle. I had to tell a white lie and say that I did, but really I thought it was too short.’

Let's recap on today’s idioms :

‘To give someone a black look’ — ‘menatap seseorang dengan perasaan kesal atau marah’

‘To tell a white lie — ‘berbohong demi kebaikan’

Idioms Using the Word 'Fire'

Today's idioms all use the word fire. The first idiom is ‘fire away’. We use this idiom when we want to tell someone to begin something. It may be to begin talking, to start playing a game or even to begin working. In the following example, Steve is invited to start the meeting by being told to ‘fire away’.

‘Thank you all for coming today and as we have a lot of work to do. I think we better get started. Steve is going to tell us about the future so Steve, fire away!

The second idiom is ‘all fired up’. We use this idiom to say that we are ready, really ready to begin something. In fact it also means that we are a little angry or excited about the activity we are about to begin.

‘I really want to tell people about this problem in our forests. They are being destroyed so fast that I am worried about their future. I am really fired up on this topic and the sooner we start the better. I have a lot to say.’

‘fire away’ — ‘ayo mulai’

‘fired up’ — ‘bersemangat’

LifeLock Review

Again, I’m going to talk about identity theft because this is a very important and sensitive issue for us to know. A large number of cases on identity theft have happened and have made the victims suffer from losses. Just imagine…. Unknown people can access our account, steal our identity, and try to ask for credits in our name or try to do other things. As a matter of fact, many criminals who have done this identity theft have been under arrest, but still… other criminals will always try to find other ways to commit their action.


Realizing this fact, we should know more about identity theft. If you are confused about how to know about it, one of the ways is by reading LifeLock review. The review is usually interesting to read and can add to our knowledge. As we know, LifeLock is a big company which provides services in account security.
