Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s have a
look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies.We sometimes say that people who are
nervous have ants in their pants.Sometimes，people may get caught with their pants down.They are found
doing something they should not be doing.And，in every family，one person takes control.Sometimes a
wife tells her husband what to do.Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things.Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in
your pocket.Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants.If you have less money than usual，you may
have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much.I really take my hat off to
them.Yet，when it comes to my own money，I spend it at the drop of a hat，which means I immediately
spend it.

The English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many
different expressions.
One such example is the word matter.In fact，matter can mean just about anything.It could be one of
the most useful words in the English language.
Let’s get to the heart of the “matter”—a matter of principle.
If someone says that you owe (欠债) him 50，but you don’t，a friend might say，“Well，you
could pay him the 50.It’s not that much money.Then you won’t have to hear him say it anymore.” But if
you do not owe him the money，do not pay him the money.It’s a matter of principle.
There is another way to use the word “matter”.But be careful with your choice of words.
If you ask someone，“What’s the matter？”，it shows you are worried about the other person.But
saying，“What’s the matter with you？”，has a completely different meaning.And it usually sounds
rude.In fact，when you say，“What’s the matter with you？”，you are suggesting that the person did
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂something wrong or stupid.
Another expression that could sound rude is to say，“It doesn’t matter to me.” Here，it depends on
the context，and how you say it.
Let’s say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work.That person answers with，“It
doesn’t matter to me.” Here，it means he or she does not care.And it sounds rude.
But saying，“Oh，you pick where we eat dinner.It doesn’t matter to me.” does not sound rude.In
this situation，“It doesn’t matter.” shows you are easygoing.
No matter how you look at it and what you say，“matter” is a very useful word.And it’s only a
matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of “matter”.

Punishing children is a controversial (争议的) topic.Everybody has different opinions about how to

to punish him.
The word “punish” means different things to different people.Punishment can be physical or
emotional.Physical punishment is when the parent hits the child.On the other hand，emotional punishment
is when the parent，in order to educate the child，doesn’t let him watch TV，go to play with his friends，
or do things like that.
Although many surveys and studies have showed what the correct way is to raise a child，nobody has
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂the answer or the truth.There is no such thing as agreed standard about raising a child，so I think it will be
very difficult to get everyone to agree.
I think parents should love their child and give him or her the best education，but at the same time，
they should punish the child properly if he or she deserves it.The parent’s goal is to have a good man or
woman in society in the future，so sometimes you should do what is necessary to get your child to behave
well.
