IV. IDIOMS
Bend over Backwards
(try very hard)
When Joan first started teaching she was afraid that she would have a lot of
trouble. However, her fears turned out to be unfounded, since everybody bent over
backwards to help her. Everybody tried very hard to help her feel comfortable and
adjust to the school.
