Today we’ll talk about our speech, or rather, about one emotional and sensual manifestation of it in communication and in conversations. These are amazing and unusual phrases. To be more precise, phraseological units. We will analyze what it is, give examples, and even write a short essay with phraseological units (on any topic, we will choose it arbitrarily, along the way). By the way, this is a fairly common task for students. When at school children learn these speech turns, Russian language teachers ask them to write an essay or essay with phraseological units on any topic or specifically set. To do this is not difficult and very exciting if you get involved.
Theory
These are certain turns of speech that are fixed and stably fixed during use. A feature of this, as a rule, unchanging combination of words is the individual meaning of the whole expression. These expressions are not easy to translate into other languages, and it is impossible for foreigners to understand them if you do not know their meaning. Why?
Let's look at the sentence: "He stood up in his tracks, opened his mouth, hung his ears and clapped his eyes, hatching like a ram on a new gate." This sentence consists of several phraseological units. Now pay attention to the meaning of each individual word in this statement, it does not coincide with the meaning of a particular expression. This is the complexity, unusualness and ... bright emotional coloring of phraseology.
Practice
The practice will help to understand and assimilate these turns quickly: first we learn to find these expressions in the finished text (for example, take any essay using phraseological units on any topic). Then the next training stage - we independently compose separate sentences with speech turns, expanding not only the vocabulary, but also getting acquainted with countless new expressions. And finally, try to connect several sentences within the meaning and write a mini-essay with phraseological units on any topic.
Good example
As an example, we will compose together an arbitrary story with stable turnover. For clarity, we put them in each sentence. For convenience, you can pre-compose some list with speech phrases that you want to use. So, we are writing an essay with phraseological units on any topic, for example, for the winter, soon New Year (and maybe you are reading this article already in the new year?).
New Year - on the nose!
Until the New Year at your fingertips! Days can be counted on the fingers! At this time, the spirit of the holiday is in the air, the smell of tangerines excites, the flashing of garlands is pleasing everywhere, cheerful snowflakes froze on the glass windows of some residents. Everyone - from young to old - will not wait for surprises, gifts and, of course, a little winter break in the form of vacations for children and a non-working week for adults.
Preparations for the celebration are in full swing! Someone has prepared the treasured boxes with gifts that he will give to relatives and friends wholeheartedly, and is already rubbing his hands in impatience ... But someone, on the contrary, is puzzling over the solution of the question: what to give and how to congratulate relatives? It is not difficult to identify such people on the street. They, as a rule, rush about to shops and supermarkets headlong in search of something special.
Little children are beside themselves with joy: they ride down the slides at their pleasure on sleds, slides and even without them. The street is cold, windy, snowy, cheeks and nose turn red and freeze, and the kids at least something!
This is a special time for every person: even though you don’t have to sit full of worries and have nothing to do, your soul rejoices from these efforts, just like in distant childhood, in anticipation of the New Year and Christmas ...
Instead of a conclusion
It is very exciting to come up with an essay with phraseological units (on any topic). Such an activity develops imagination, speech and takes attention. Try to do this together with your parents or with children - this is great entertainment and a good pastime! Good luck in the development of new materials!
