As a foreigner, if you want to speak more naturally and understand better the meaning of a native English life, it will be a great help if you you learn some idiomatic expressions.
It is not common for writing, but it is quite often used in everyday conversation for native speakers.
You can also compare the idioms in English with the ones in other languages. You can have great fun.It is a nice idea to take to your class a local newspaper and organise some small groups to find the idioms. You can easily find them on the letters to the editor, or if you wish to plan something different, the book Essential Idioms in English by Robert J. Dixon, can help you.
Ex:
He plays the cards very close to his chest.
That car cost me an arm and a leg.
