“ Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with.It is 36 to find someone who is down-to-earth.A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to 37 accepts other people as equals.A down-to-earth is just the 38 of someone who acts importantly and proudly.
Down-to-earth persons may be 39 members of society, of course.But they do not let their importance “ go to their 40 ”.They do not 41 themselves to be better persons than others of less importance, someone who is filled with his own importance and 42 , often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”.There is no way a person with his nose in the 43 can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that means almost the same 44 “down-to-earth”.The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”.Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person 45 a good understanding of reality.He has what is called “ 46 sense”.He may have 47 , but he does not allow them to 48 his knowledge of what is real.The opposite kind of person is 49 who has his “head-in-the-clouds”.A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the 50 world.
Sometimes 51 a dreamer can be brought back to earth. 52 words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.
Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very 53 to have both-feet-on-the-ground.
54 we have both our feet on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act 55 and openly toward others.Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
