Did you know that using idioms can move your IELTS Speaking score form good to great!

In today’s episode find out exactly how to do it and what idioms to use.

Are you worried that the examiner will use idioms in his or her questions?

Don’t worry about this.

The examiner will not use idioms.

However, you should use idioms in your answer.

Use interesting idioms to get a higher score on speaking!

Listen to this episode to know what to do if you don’t understand the examiner’s questions.

Here are five idioms you can use to express your opinion about things that are good:

#1) “Out of this world”

  • “Have you seen any good movies lately?”
  • “Yes I saw a great movie. It was out of this world.”

This can also be used to talk about food. For example, “My dessert was out of this world.”

#2) “The most incredible (thing) ever!”

Examples:

“This is the most incredible apartment ever!”

#3) “It’s one in a million.”

Out of a million people, this person is the best.

Example:

“My favorite soccer player is Renaldo. He is one in a million.”

#4) “I couldn’t be happier with (thing)”

Example:

“I couldn’t be happier with my neighborhood.”

#5) “It is mind-blowing.”

Example:

“The ideas in this book are mind-blowing.”

“I just attended a mind-blowing TED Talk.”

These idioms exaggerate your point.

It’s a good idea to exaggerate because it puts more feeling into your tone of voice.

This will get you a higher pronunciation score.
