today i get a very interesting phrasel:A little bird told me.

For example:

When i met Jack on the street by chance.

I saw he handed a lot of bags. I thought he must be ready to see her girlfriend.

So i told him he must go to the position of her girlfriend.

He replied very surprise and asked me how i knew it.

I smiled and said a little bird told me!

And another phrasel :Hit the nail on the head.It means someone says something is correctly right!

Hi Shaniya,

I was reading your blog and saw a mistake that I have seen more and more lately. It's to do with meeting someone 'by chance'.

You did not arrange to meet him so it's true that you met him by chance, however thats now how we explain what happened.

The correct phrase is 'run into someone' or  'ran into someone'.  'Run into' means you did not arrange or intend for it to happen. So you would say 'I ran into Jack today'.

You can use this for anything you did not intend to happen. For example 'I ran into the back of a car' means you crashed into a car infront of you.

A variation on 'A little bird told me' is 'the fairies told me'

I'm from Perth, Australia. What part of China are you from. I'm studying Chinese and would like to visit China. I would like to see snow. In 2006 I went to Guangzhou but is was so humid!
