So before the week and at the end of the week- the market had swings but during the week it was steady. &#8220;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Let\u2019s bookend the conference with social events. So we will have events before and after the actual conference itself.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bookends help to tie things together in this figurative meaning too.<\/p>\n<p>They have the same sort of meaning as actual bookends but tie into conversation a bit differently.<\/p>\n<p>They are the beginning and end, or two separate ends of something.<\/p>\n<p>They hold things in place so to speak.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takeaway:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s fun to play with language so go for the challenge!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get creative with this at your own level and build upon it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s time to start paining a picture in people&#8217;s minds, and you can do this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It will make you a more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-549-catch-peoples-attention-english-using-one-interesting-phrase\/\">interesting person<\/a> and easier to talk to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-bonus-never-back-off-connection\/\">want to connect with you<\/a>, but it only happens if you take some chances in your language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> So try using this example and see how it plays out for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It can be fun and help you in the long run!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What questions do you have today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Let us know in the comments below.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you know how to be figurative and fun in English?
