You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover...

Hey everyone~! Have you heard this saying before??? We use this often when talking about people but it can also be used to talk about places, books(of course) and things.

Don't judge a book by it's cover

or

You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover

means that you SHOULDN'T JUDGE people/things based on their APPEARANCE. A book might have an amazing cover but when you read it, it's as boring as dirt. Or the cover might be old and ugly but the story is incredibly interesting~! Also, a handsome man might be horrible person and ugly/scary looking people might be super kind! It's not what is on the outside that counts but what's on the inside.

For example:

A: I went on a date with Sally last night.

B: With Sally? She's not your type. How was it?

A: You know what they say "Don't judge a book by it's cover" even though she looks kind of plain we had a lot of fun! It was a terrific date!

or

A: I don't like the looks of my sisters new boyfriend.

B: You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. You haven't even met him yet!

I hope that is clear enough for everyone. If you have any questions just ask and I'll be writing more lessons next month!

See you in July,

Phil

P.S. Remember it's what's on the inside that counts!
