- 澳洲廣播公司有篇文章, 教大家點樣慳錢。作者強調，佢講嘅慳錢，係希望慳得嚟都可以有生活嘅樂趣，但唔好俾多過應該俾嘅。 (Check you're not frittering away your hard-earned money by paying more than needed on your bills.) - 要檢視嘅範疇好多，包括 your mortgage, insurance and electricity accounts are all fair game, as are streaming subscriptions，即係你嘅供樓按揭、保險，甚至串流平台嘅訂閱費，呢啲都係合理嘅審視目標。 - 首先，將支出分類，睇吓每個月最大筆嘅支出係乜嘢，以及經常重複出現嘅支出項目 (recurring items) 又係啲乜嘢。 - 分完類之後，可以放低嗰啲必須嘅支出，專注喺discretionary items or duplicates，即可以自由支配或者重複咗嘅項目。如果發現一啲過去一年根本冇用過嘅（例如健身室費用），或者重複咗嘅（例如多個串流平台），就可以作出調整。 - 至於需要保留嘅一啲使費，你亦可以格價 (shop around)。以手機月費為例，如果想轉供應商，就最好貨比三家 (shop around)，但如果覺得網上查到嘅資料唔係好足夠，想了解多啲，作者就建議你用 burner email, 即係臨時的電郵信箱去查詢。 - 最重要嘅係，如果 you want the biggest bang for your buck，即你想要物超所值，或者享受最高嘅性價比。咁就千祈唔好偷懶！唔一定要一次過完成所有嘢，你可以每個星期，或者一個月，抽出指定嘅15分鐘或者半個鐘去做。

1. Idioms 慣用語 are expressions. The individual words in the phrase don't mean anything, but together, they can be a vivid 生動的 way to describe something.
Idioms are figurative language 比喻語言. A metaphor 隱喻 to create an image in your head of what is happening. Songs often use idioms.
2. Can you guess what these idioms mean?
● Over the moon -extremely happy.
- Originally came from an old 16th century nursery rhyme 童謠. The rhyme made no sense, but had the sentence, ‘the cow jumped over the moon.’
● I have a bone to pick with you - You are angry about something and want conversation.
- Many sources state that this expression comes from a dog trying to pick off meat from a bone, and one implication of this idiom is attempting to solve a problematic time-consuming issue. This is most likely because a dog will often gnaw on a bone for very long periods, even when most meat is gone.
● To bite someone’s head off - to speak to someone in a quick, angry way,
- figuratively comparing a very angry person to a dangerous wild animal
- If Jesse insults 侮辱 me one more time, I am going to bite his head off.
