It’s all about Do’s and Don’ts for Writing Task 2.

So, yes, this idiom is perfect! It simply means ‘by a huge amount‘, or just ‘a lot‘.
Another student, Zarina, asked about the phrase ‘idle away the hours‘.

This is great for Speaking Parts 1 and 2. Zarina says she likes to idle away the hours reading sci-fi books.
Finally, Siva asked about using ‘knee jerk reaction‘ in Writing Task 2.
Although this may seem a bit informal, it is very interesting and should be used in Writing and Speaking.
For example, ‘The headlines lately caused a knee jerk reaction among the populous.’
This idiom describes people reacting very strongly and immediately, in a way they can’t help.
