Conversation with my Chinese Good Friend

Bernie Pinson
- Je ne mangerai plus jamais de tarte aux pommes...
Cela fait deux semaines que Bernie Pinson répète sans cesse cette phrase. Il est vrai qu’il a passé une nuit horrible après avoir trop mangé.
Au hasard de sa promenade, Bernie renifle une délicieuse odeur. Madame Hérisson prépare des tartes aux pommes.
- Un petit morceau pour mon ami Pinson ? propose-t-elle.
- Bien volontiers ! s’exclame Bernie en passant à table...

Days of the week in Urdu

As it's already May, a lot of the part 1 and part 2 topics are changing in the IELTS speaking exam. Let's start with the topic "Describe a positive change you made in your life" with some good idioms which are explained below.

Remember this is just an example answer, and you should never learn example answers off by heart. It's very important to speak naturally in the speaking exam.


Idioms used in the example answer:

Out of shape

If someone is unhealthy or not able to do a lot of physical activity, we can say they are out of shape.

“He drinks and smokes too much, and has become very out of shape.”



In good shape

If you’re in good shape, you are fit and healthy. This  especially refers to the physical condition of your body ( being at a healthy weight, not overweight, getting plenty of exercise)


Run down

If you’re feeling run down, you are tired and lacking energy, usually after a sustained period without enough rest.

“After working late in the office every night for the last 2 weeks, he started to feel very run down.”


Full of beans

Someone who has a lot of energy might be described as full of beans.

“Young children are always full of beans, and love to run around, and play.”


Fit as a fiddle

Fit as a fiddle means ‘in very good health’ and may more often be used to refer to older people.

“My grandfather is 86, but is still as fit as a fiddle, and goes to exercise in the park every morning.”


Picture of good health

To look the picture of health simply means to look very healthy and well.

“Wow! Have you been going to the gym recently? You look the picture of health.
