Today I am going to talk about proverbs.
What is a proverb?
A simple and concrete saying popularly known and repeated, which expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity.
Let me show you an example of a proverb
*You may lead a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink*
This proverb means that we can always give the chances to a person to do something for himself.
But if the person does not want to use them, it is still useless.
Proverbs actually add up more spice to our sentences.
It can make a simple meaning more interesting as it connects with our logic and life.
Proverbs are often borrowed from similar languages and cultures, and sometimes come down to the present through more than one language.
So no wonder we have lots of proverbs in English.
It's been borrowed and transferred from the past.
People those days learn something from experiences and are now still teaching the present generations using proverbs.
*If you are early in your day, you will get more than others.*
*Apple can help building healthy body, in which you do not need to see a doctor as always. So eat apple everyday.*
*If we really want to do something and work it out, we can solve anything.*
*It is better to spend a little time to deal with problems or act right now than wait. If you wait until late, things will get worse, and it will take much longer to deal with them.*
(Proverb)
Well I guess that's all for now. Till the next topic, au revoir~
