Descripción

What this unit teaches is the idiomatic 

expressions and words with colloquial 

meaning. 

From the reading of this unit some words

 are highlighted that are used colloquially 

and have a different meaning.

Words in idioms do not have a literal meaning

 or dictionary, their meaning comes from the 

situation or the context to which they are 

applied. 

This is the case of expressions like �in a

hurry� which is used to indicate that

someone has a real urgency to do something.

In the reading, the expression �he wasn�t

in a hurry� means that the robber didn�t

have any urgency to get away from the bank.

That�s why he was riding a bike, instead

of going away in a car or some fast vehicle.
