"Colorful Expressions"
It’s now black and white that she never loved me. She is gone forever leaving me in blue. I have been in black mood all the time thinking about her. Last time I have had an argument with her, but I was in grey area about what she was up to.
I was looking at her red face. I would never be a green eyed monster, if she has fallen in love with somebody else. There would be no one more tickled pink than me if she really likes someone else. I will pass with flying colors because I have seen the true colors

It's very interesting. Thx
You are welcome Prostomolotova Galina . Thanks for the appreciation.
Wow! I like this method of learning idioms! Very creative and useful! I think I can use this interesting way to teach my students. Every week we can take any topic related to idioms, e. g. animal idioms, colour idioms, etc. and make up short funny stories. Of course, I see there will be many grammar mistakes but it will be fun and students will remember idioms as they will hear them in different stories. Thanks for the great idea!
Really a very useful blog!
