People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions about the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that people’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time”. If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth, In other words, he might feel afraid for saying the wrong thing.
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person has possibly had a very scary experience, like being chased by an angry dog. He might say, “ I had my heart in my mouth.”
Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”. This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

Dear Lily,
My town is very small. Only a few hundred people live here. It has a river with an old bridge across it. There is a church and a school. They are next to each other. On main street there is a hotel, a supermarket, a gas station, a bakery, a butcher’s shop and a grocery store.
We don’t have a hospital or a police station, but we have a doctor and a police officer. They live on the other side of the river.
We don’t have a movie theater, but we can rent videos in the supermarket. If we want to go to a movie theater, we have to go to the next town. It is a 30-minute bus ride away. The bus stop is outside my house. I go to the movies with my mom every Saturday.
Best wishes and please write back soon.
Yours,
Alice

There was a kingdom long, long ago. It was ruled by king who loved riddles. Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest breads. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. "I will give a prize to the person
who can solve my riddle, " the king said. Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest
horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard "Make this line shorter without erasing(清除) any part of it,” the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and squinted at it. They even put their
noses to the ground and scratched their heads.
How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it?” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt(泥土)over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these efforts worked, and the people went home disappointed. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour(面粉).
Your Majesty, "the baker said to the king, I can make your line shorter without erasing any part of it. "Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line.
Now, good king, "the baker smiled, "your line is shorter.
The people were amazed. The king laughed and clapped his hands. "You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice.
The baker was excited. Now he could sell his breads from one end of the kingdom to the other.
