The Language Bro

Episode 5: Can you learn a language on an app?

Idioms are a crucial aspect of the IELTS speaking test as they can help you demonstrate a higher level of English proficiency. Using idioms shows that you have a good grasp of the language and can express yourself in a more natural and nuanced way. In part 3 of the speaking test, where you engage in a discussion with the examiner, incorporating idioms can make your responses more engaging and memorable.

For example, instead of saying "I think it's important to consider both sides of the argument," you could use the idiom "to see both sides of the coin." This not only adds variety to your language but also showcases your ability to use idiomatic expressions appropriately.

Another example could be using the idiom "to kill two birds with one stone" when discussing the benefits of multitasking in the workplace. This not only demonstrates your fluency in English but also adds a touch of creativity to your responses.

Overall, incorporating idioms in your IELTS speaking test can help you stand out and impress the examiners. So, don't be afraid to sprinkle some idiomatic expressions throughout your responses!
