Introduction---the secret of learning Chinese

This episode introduces three idioms that use the word day. Listen to the examples to hear how to use them. Please send me a message if you would like a copy of the audio script.

Idiom Corner

If you’ve listened to my previous podcasts, you’ll know that want to score a band score 7 in your IELTS Speaking exam, you have to use some less common idiomatic expressions.

We all know the idiom ‘it’s raining cats and dogs’ because this is a common idiom. But what are some less common idioms?

This podcast will give you 3 more idioms for you to learn, which you can use in your IELTS Speaking exam.

Preparing for exams can be a double-edged sword. This is because examiners don’t want you to memorise and repeat your answers from memory. However, using idioms can get you a higher band score. So how do we balance this? Idioms have to be memorised, because they have to be spoken exactly. We cannot change them. For example, you cannot say ‘my parents punched the roof’, you have to say my parents ‘hit the roof.’

Another tip for using idioms is not to put all your eggs in one basket. Make sure you are armed with a variety of different idioms in your memory bank. If you only know one idiom, for example ‘think outside the box’ you have to hope your part 2 speaking exam is a suitable topic for the idiom.

You can, of course, use idioms in parts  1 and 3, but part 2 is the easiest place to slot in a few idioms, because you have 1 minute to prepare.

Don’t forget to book a lesson with me, so you can practise using idioms, and get the band score you are aiming for.

NOVA PASSANTE


1. sobre
esta pele branca
um calígrafo oriental
teria gravado sua escrita
luminosa
— sem esquecer entanto
a boca: um
ícone em rubro
tornando mais fogo
suor e susto
tornando mais ácida e
insana a sede
(sede de dilúvio)

2. talvez
um poeta afogado num
danúbio imaginário dissesse
que seus olhos são duas
machadinhas de jade escavando o
constelário noturno:
a partir do que comporia
duzentas odes cromáticas
— mas eu que venero (mais que o ouro verde
raríssimo) o marfim em
alta-alvura de teu andar em
desmesura sobre uma passarela de
relâmpagos súbitos, sei que
tua pele pálida de papel
pede palavras
de luz

3. algum
mozárabe ou andaluz
decerto
       te dedicaria
um concerto
            para guitarras mouriscas
e cimitarras suicidas
(mas eu te dedico quando passas
no istmo de mim a isto
este tiroteio de silêncios
esta salva de arrepios)

[Sublunar, 1991-2011]

Brazilian Poems and Literature

Nova passante - Carlito Azevedo

Un dragon pas ordinaire
Il était une fois, un dragon pas ordinaire. Au lieu de cracher du feu comme les autres dragons, il crachait… de l’eau ! Croyez-vous que ça le contrariait? Pas du tout : il était ravi ! Il prenait des douches vingt-deux fois par jour en écoutant du rock à la radio.
Un matin, un journaliste a annoncé qu’un incendie venait d’éclater au Jardin des plantes. Vite, le dragon s’est essuyé et a foncé là-bas. Il a craché des trombes d’eau sur le feu qui s’est éteint rapidement.
À présent, le dragon est pompier. Il a un beau casque qu’il n'ôte que pour se doucher !
