In todays episode we discuss the Idioms used when visited doctors.

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 27 : Idioms for visiting a doctor

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!

Why idioms are important and how to use them.

从前，有个孩子在山上放羊。他看到很多人在山下干活儿，想捉弄一下别人，就故意大声喊叫:“狼来了！狼来了！”山下的人听到喊叫声，立刻跑上山来。可是，山上根本没有狼，是放羊的孩子在撒谎，人们被他欺骗了。

过了几天，人们又听见这个孩子在山上喊:“狼来了！狼来了！”大家又跑到山上去，结果还是没有狼，人们又被撒谎的孩子欺骗了。

又过了几天，狼真的来了。这个孩子又喊:“狼来了！狼来了！狼真的来了！”山下的人们听到喊声，再也没有人理他了。结果他的许多羊都被狼吃了。

Teacher Joseph's Podcast

At the Supermarket (Christmas week) (with transcript for study)

The transcript is on my blog post 1099.

Meet the real man behind the name — Neil McTaggart.

In this video, I share the true-life background of Neil McTaggart, a young man from Scotland who emigrated to Canada in the 1920s. He is the inspiration behind my serialized audio book, and this clip gives you the historical and personal context behind the fiction.

🪨 From the stone he carried in his pocket to the life he built abroad, Neil’s journey is one of survuval and change.

📚 About the Series

My serialized book, based on Neil's life, blends historical fact with fictional storytelling. This video sets the scene and introduces you to the real person whose life sparked the story.
