When you boil water, it lets off steam. But how do we use this phrase in a conversation?
LET OFF STEAM
D: What is wrong with that woman?
A: Katie? Nothing. Why do you ask?
D: Well, she’s outside hitting a tree.
A: She does that to let off steam.
D: Look, we all need to let out frustrations. But why take it out on a poor tree?
When you “let off steam,” you release strong emotions or energy by doing something that relaxes you. For some people, simply talking about something is a good way to let off steam. For others, hitting a tree seems to work. Originally published at - learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
