Confidence is not the absence of FEAR

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!

السلام عليكم 
اسمي فتحية رفقي، أنا من مصر، والآن أعيش في هولندا.
تخرجت من جامعة الأزهر بمصر عام 2007، وعملت بعد ذلك مترجمة ومعلمة للغة الإنجليزية بمركز الأزهر. منذ عام 2020 أدرس الماجستير بالجامعة الأمريكية بالقاهرة، وفي الصيف الماضي انتقلت إلى هولندا لأدرّس اللغة العربية بجامعة لايدن. لكني سوف أعود إلى مصر بعد شهرين إن شاء الله.. 
شكرًا – مع السلامة

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天是9月29号，农历八月十五号中秋节。今年中秋节和国庆节离得很近，所以今天开始全国放8天假。因为出行的人很多，塞车很严重。即使要花十几个小时甚至更长的时间才能回到家，还是有千千万万的人选择回家过中秋节。为什么中秋节对中国人来说这么重要呢？
中秋节对于中国人来说，最大的意义就是团圆。从唐朝开始，人们就把天上的月圆和人间的团圆联系在一起了。离家在外的人举头望月，思念的是故乡和亲友。中国人重视亲情，阖家团圆便是最好的期盼。每逢中秋来临，中国960万平方公里的大地上，便有无数人奔走起来。他们有个共同的目标，回家。
回家路千千万万，有的回家路横穿中国，从上海到喀什，跨越三个时区，行程一万里。有的回家路沿着城市和乡村，用草原河流呼唤漂泊的游子。有的回家路随大海延伸，中国3.2万公里的海岸线，是对出海人平安回家的等待。有的回家路则是从四面八方，天南海北聚在一起，把他乡变成故乡。
虽然今天人们可以隔着屏幕相连，但与家人的相见，永远是心灵深处的渴望。同一屋檐下共赏明月，幸福平淡也绵长。
月亮，为什么大家都喜欢你？这个中秋，你回家了吗？中秋节快乐。让我们回家追月吧。
