The first three chapters of this book opens up the theory of conceptual definition of metaphors, according to which the metaphors are not simply a tool of speech decoration, is a process of interaction between the two structured houses of speech – sender and the receiver.

This book shows up a whole new meaning of use metaphors in our daily life. This book is very easy to read and there are no long and difficult definitions, authors tried to write down this book as easy as possible so every single person was able to understand it. First three chapters give us a visible example of metaphors we use in our everyday life such as: ‘Argument is war’ and ‘Time is money’. I want to look a little closer on the metaphor – time is money. I was born in country where people are getting paid every months at the end of the month and never count hours or even minutes spent at work because usually they receiving the same amount of money every month. When I came to United States and found my first job I was surprised when I got paid for every minute I spent at work. So, basically, the meaning of the metaphor “Time is money’ in US have a straight connection and it is no longer a metaphor for a lot of people here. Personally I never thought about it from this perspective.

Another good example from the authors is when they were able to show to the reader how conduit metaphor can connect only specific people from mass on the example of ‘Please sit in the apple-juice seat’, for most of the people this sentences will make no sense, but for the right person this words be like the order for action, he exactly knows what he needs to do. I found this chapters interesting and new for myself.
