Chillchat (Learn Chinese and Chill)

请假 Asking For Leave (from the dreaded work...)

Per le prossime vacanze Jimmy ha organizzato un viaggio in solitaria: farà il giro d’Europa. Partirà da Venezia con il treno ad alta velocità e arriverà a Milano, città in cui non è mai stato. Trascorrerà il fine settimana lì per visitare i migliori musei della città, il palazzo Sforzesco, la Pinacoteca di Brera e il teatro La Scala.
Poi proseguirà per Torino e infine raggiungerà Aosta, da dove partirà per il monte Bianco. Per una settimana farà trekking in montagna, mangerà cibo nuovo e si godrà i bei panorami del monte più alto d’Europa.
Da Aosta raggiungerà la Svizzera: vuole visitare la città multiculturale di Ginevra e poi si recherà in Francia, a Parigi. Ha deciso che affitterà un piccolo monolocale a Mont Martre per vivere il centro artistico della città. A Parigi comprerà un biglietto aereo per volare Oltre Manica e raggiungere la bellissima Londra. Andrà a trovare la sua famiglia per qualche giorno: gli mostrerà le foto del suo viaggio e gli racconterà della sua vita a Venezia. Da Londra volerà in Germania, andrà a visitare il muro di Berlino e poi noleggerà una macchina per andare a bere birra a Monaco di Baviera.
Da Monaco di Baviera è facilissimo tornare in Italia: basta prendere un treno per il Trentino e in poche ore sarà sulle Dolomiti, dove passerà un giorno di relax alle terme prima di tornare a Venezia.

CHISTES MEXICANOS

Are you ready to get that idiom monkey off your back and learn 7 more idiomatic expressions to help you improve your IELTS band score?

The idioms in this podcast are quite useful. They should add another string to your bow. In our IELTS speaking exam we should also learn how to paraphrase. Learning how to paraphrase adds a really important string to your bow, as well. In order to gain a band score 6, it’s important to attempt to paraphrase as well as use connectives. Using connectives, like therefore, however, and to be honest, can add another string to your bow.

When we know how to use idioms, we can improve our IELTS band score, because it’s important to use some less common idiomatic vocabulary in your IELTS exam. Idioms are very common and used in everyday daily life. As a rule of thumb, they help the examiner to know if you have spent time studying common idiomatic phrases.

So, keep your chin up. And keep studying. Because idioms are easy to learn. You just have to take the time to learn them, and practice using them. Don’t let learning idioms worry you, because they really are fun. They won’t get you into hot water. Learning idioms cannot get you into trouble. On the contrary, they will show the IELTS examiner that you are dilligent, studious, and hard working. Nobody’s going to hit the roof just because you’ve learned a few idioms. Of course not! No one is going to be angry with you for studying idioms! They are a vital part of your English language skills. Native English speakers use idioms day in, day out.

Don’t forget to take the quiz and learn the meanings of the idioms in this podcast. 

And don’t forget to book a lesson with me, so I can help you get the IELTS band score you need. And if you dont know many idioms, dont you think it’s time to get that monkey off your back?
