Today's Idiom Of The Day:
💡 Instead of - "他很厉害，这样也有办法补救。。。" (wow he managed to resolve the problem...), your child can try saying - "他妙手回春，居然化解了危机！" （i.e. wow he managed to remedy the situation brilliantly...)

The ability to include proverbs or idioms when it comes to speaking in Mandarin has the same enhancing effect in English-speaking settings too. For example: instead of saying "let's stop work" - with an idiom, it sounds better with "let's call it a day, everyone's exhausted“.
