"Help yourself!"

"Help yourself!"

It's time for your weekly dose of PHRASE FACTS! For work, leisure, 

travel, or just a plain conversation over a hot cup of coffee, we will 

feature phrases and expressions that will surely help you develop your

vocabulary!

For this week's Phrase Facts, the spotlight is on the expression "help yourself". 

You might say you can easily guess the phrase's meaning

by simply looking at it word for word. Basing on that, you can say 

"Since nobody is around to help you, only you can help yourself", right? WRONG!

Actually, we use the expression "help yourself" when people ask us for something 

and we let them have it. For example:

(Ozzy and Dio are at the cafeteria having lunch.)

Ozzy: Hey, Dio. Your lunch looks very appetizing. What is that?

Dio: Oh, this is Mom's special lasagna.

Ozzy: Can I have some?

Dio: Sure! Here, help yourself.

We can see in the dialogue that Ozzy is willingly offering Dio his lunch. In some cases, 

we also use this expression when people ask permission from you to do something, 

and you allow them to. For example:

(Bart and Lisa are at the living room practicing saxophone.)

Lisa: You should learn to breathe properly when playing the saxophone, Bart.

Bart: Okay, I understand. I want to be better at playing the saxophone 

         but I don't have one. May I practice on your saxophone until dad buys 

         me my own?

Lisa: Of course, Bart. Help yourself.

In this dialogue Lisa doesn't mind if Bart practices on her saxophone.

"Help yourself" isn't too complicated to understand. When somebody says "help yourself" 

after you asked them for a slice of that cheesy tuna pizza, you SHOULDN'T 

literally help yourself by making your left hand assist your right hand. Think about it.

Until next time!

WHY IS LEARNING ENGLISH IMPORTANT?

There are thousands of reasons why learning English is important. I listed some of my reasons why it is fundamental for a person to be well-versed in the different aspects of the language.

COMMUNICATION

English is the universal language or the most commonly used language nowadays.  How would it be possible for us to communicate with other nationalities if we don’t speak English? When we communicate, English is the common tongue.  Aside from that, most of the social media are now adapting English as their language.

EMPLOYMENT

English will secure your employment, or at least provide you with a higher success rate in finding a job regardless of which country you are in. If you are going to apply for a job, most of the time, companies prefer to conduct interviews in English. That is the reality!

EDUCATION

English has become the mother language of subjects such as Math, Science, and many more. You would not understand the mathematical equations as well as the principles of science and the law of inertia if you're unable to comprehend English. Besides that, most of the teachers prefer reports and researches by the students done in English to the ones done in the native language.

INDUSTRIES

English has been used in different industries. Most of the industries involved in reports, research, multimedia or film use English. When you make deals with your clients, English is the most practical language to speak.

To sum it all up, English is a game changer in every field and it would be impossible for our civilization to progress and stabilize without it. It has connected countries in terms of commerce, helped people reach their dreams and provide for their families, and enlightened developing countries through education. I hope this article helps you. You are free to add some reasons why you think learning English is important.
