IDIOMS
Hey guys, today I would like to tell you about 2 idioms that IDP IELTS actually recommends you to use literally on their official website.
And the first one is "Break a leg". This idiom is used whenever you you're wishing someone good luck, whenever you want them to do well on the test or just any situation like that, so you would use it like: I heard you registered for your IELTS, break a leg!
And the second one is "Better late than never" So this is a kind of not an idiom, it's just idiomatic language. And you just use them whenever you're talking about some kind of situation when something happens late, but you're still okay with it being late, regardless of when the date is and, an example of this would be: My IELTS was delayed, but I guess better late than never. So you can use like that. Hope you guys have a great day and following this post I am going to be sending you some more information about how to actually use idioms on the IELTS from the official IDP website. So, have a great day guys, see you.
How to use idioms in the IELTS Speaking test?
To reach a band 7 and higher in the IELTS Speaking test, you need to be able to use a wider range of vocabulary and to show the examiner that you can use idiomatic language. Read through this article which explains what idiomatic language is and how to use it when speaking.
Every language has a different way to describe things, ideas or feelings. We use a combination of words that have a meaning that is not always clear to someone who is learning that language. Each culture has a different set of phrases that have special meaning in their country. In English, we use idioms and phrasal verbs to express ourselves. This idiomatic language is used frequently in our everyday communication so, it's very important that we understand what idioms are and how to use them.
The IELTS Speaking assessment criteria focuses on how well you can use idiomatic language from bands 7 and upwards. At band 7, you will see this statement for Lexical Resource:
• uses some less common and idiomatic vocabulary and shows some awareness of style and collocation, with some inappropriate choices
