Hello everyone,

Alan's latest essay which is titled 'Guy Fawkes' is all about expressions with 'fire' and 'burn'.

For example, he explains the idiom 'never set the Thames on fire'. What do you think it means? And what about the expression 'getting on like a house on fire'? Do you think it has a positive or a negative meaning? If you want to learn more fire and burning expressions you need to read 'Guy Fawkes' by Alan Townend.

Oh, and by the way, Alan also tells you what a squib is and how you can use it....

we must take care of the fire because it will be dangerous for children and for other who don't know how to use it. that's why i want you to let know the danger of the fire.Now we're recognizing the utility of the fire because with it we can cook meal and any other foods.

"Burning the candle at both ends" is such a illustrative sentence... This is the motto of our epoch.

Thank for your interesting essays, Allan,
