The World of English language varies in idioms. In our school,
we’ve decided to get an open lesson devoted to idioms with colours and do it
somehow special. As our gymnasium specialises in profound learning of English
language, we’ve prepared some activities in English. We want to present this
event to your attention and hope that teachers can use it in their work.
