Expressions Using the Word “Sun”

Now it’s the time for the Learning English program “Words and Their Stories”.

In today’s program, we have expressions using the word “sun”.

The first expression is about everything, everything under the sun. If you own a store that sells many different things, your advertisements could say you sell everything under the sun. 1. .But advertising needs new and creative ideas.

Here is another example: Let’s say you are talking with a friend you have not seen for a long time. The two of you could have a lot to talk about. 2..

“Under the sun” is an old expression. 3. It means everywhere the sun shines. King Solomon used it in his poem. He wrote that nothing under the sun is new. If there is nothing new under the sun, there is nothing new anywhere. New or old, few things can be hidden in the bright light of the sun. 4. This law says that all government meetings must be open to the public. In some states, sunshine laws also say the government must allow the public to see government records. An important newspaper in the United States published a report about the value of sunshine laws. It told about how officials of a local government met secretly with a land developer to discuss using public land for a private entertainment center.

5. The newspaper report said, “It is often difficult to wake up people to their rights under the state sunshine laws.” It said the laws are called that because they shine sunlight on dark corners where secret deals can be made.

A. It is at least 3,000 years old

B. That leads to another expression: a sunshine law

C. This would not be exactly true, of course

D. The deal was stopped when it finally became publicly known

E. So, you talk about everything under the sun
