TEST YOUR ENGLISH IDIOMS is a welcome addition to the Test Your Vocabulary series and is intended for intermediate/advanced students. Altogether, the book contains more than 750 idioms in cuirent use and, as the title suggests, the emphasis is on testing rather than teaching. Subsequently, the book can be a useful complement to a wide variety of reference books and dictionaries on idioms.
In keeping with the Test Your Vocabulary series, there is a wide variety of tests, ranging from multiple-choice exercises, crosswords, exercises where you have to match up an idiom with a suitable definition, completing sentences, rewriting sentences, to picture tests, where you have to choose an appropriate caption for each drawing. In addition, there are tests on idioms of comparison ("as brown as a berry"), proverbs and idioms to do with colours, parts of the body, animals, and so on.
TEST YOUR ENGLISH IDIOMS can be used in class with a teacher or for self-study. To facilitate the latter, a key is included which not only gives the correct answers but also gives detailed explanations when necessEiry. Students using this book should find the learning of idioms both stimulating and enjoyable and, hopefully, start to develop a real sensitivity to the language.
In choosing the idioms for this book I have naturally consulted a number of dictionaries and reference books. The following can be warmly recommended:
Longman Dictionary of English Idioms (Longman) Dictionary of English Idioms Michael J. Wallace (Collins) Working with English Idioms David Peaty (Nelson)
English Idioms and How to Use Them Jennifer Seidl & W. McMordie (Oxford University Press)
A Learners Dictionary of English Idioms Isabel McCaig & Martin H. Manser (Oxford University Press)
Oxford Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English, Volume 2: Phrase, Clause
