The book is a non-fiction educational book depicting a three-step system for native Chinese speakers to learn idioms to strengthen their knowledge in the English language, prepare for general tests such as the TOEFL, or understand American culture.

The book includes clear visual representations of each contextual definitions to help with memorization, interactive games such as crosswords or fill-in-the-blanks, and practical idioms found in common areas within a reader’s daily life.

Each idiom has either an antonym or synonym to further fuel the reader’s growing knowledge of idioms to provide a boost of confidence.

I found the book quite educational and informative to readers who enjoy learning American idioms; a lot of the idioms are used in a daily basis while others are used on more rare occasions.

It is an enjoyable book for other Chinese speakers, teachers, or students to learn idioms.

With a total amount of 300 idioms, this book aims to give its readers a good amount of idioms that can be applied for different situations.

With that in mind, this book not only provides English translation, but also gives the Chinese translation of the idioms and explanations for better understanding also to its Chinese readers.

One of the things that I really liked and appreciated about this book is that it provides a few activities wherein readers could really make use of the idioms provided in the given chapters.

What I also appreciate about the book is after the stories provided in each chapter, the author also provides questions for its readers touching on their personal lives and using the idioms.

Because of that, I would rate this book 3 out of 4. If you are interested in learning about English idioms that you can apply for everyday living, this is a good book to jumpstart learning English idioms.
