unlimited freedom, without understanding the meaning of discipline. An athlete disciplines himself and

birds were returning to their homes after a five - month warm sojourn. He remembered his
childhood picnic with his parents to Vedanthangal, where he had seen flocks of birds
nestled among the trees. Dad had hired a telescope to give him a closer view of the nest,
where he saw tiny little nestlings-five of them! Dad had then told him that even though
these families resided here, they would soon go back to their homes far in the cold regions
of the planet. His fathers words rang clear in his ears You see Kumar, though they have
stayed here for almost half a year and have enjoyed our climate and the food available, they
know that their home is in the Arctic. And theres no place like home, is there?
Kumar gazed at the flock flying home from where they had come. But slowly his

No study of English can be complete without a reference dictionary of idioms. A very
useful and easily available reference material is The Collins Dictionary of English Idioms.
This dictionary contains clearly explained meanings of over three thousand common English
idioms. To make the meaning even clearer, and to show you how the idiom can be used, each
idiom is provided with a suitable sample sentence . In this dictionary, the emphasis is on true
idioms. These are expressions whose meanings cannot be easily worked out from the words they
contain. The dictionary also provides a great many variations in the way these idioms are used.
The main emphasis , however is on providing an understanding of the meaning of the idioms,
rather than attempting to be a complete guide to idiomatic usage. (145 words)
