Hajimemashite! Welcome to the first episode of "Midori no Heya". In this episode, I share how I came to learn Japanese for the first time. I will never forget my first Indonesian Japanese-teacher, Retno-sensei. When I returned from Japan, I looked for her, but I couldn't find her. The Japanese Language Course where I met her couldn't (or didn't want to?) give her contact.

How could a teacher, teaching at simply an evening course, turn the student's next course of life? She was paid just to teach a language. But the impact she made was beyond.

すずまりの日本語「ききみみ」ずきん

第13話　一日一回の「こんにちは」

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.
