Tongue Twisters

Tongue Twisters/Скороговорки/Fjalëshpejta 

... Но лето, лето особенно упоительно в том краю. Там надо искать свежего сухого воздуха, напоенного — не лимоном и не лавром, а просто запахом полыни, сосны и черемухи; там искать ясных дней, слегка жгучих, но не палящих лучей солнца и почти в течение трех месяцев безоблачного неба.
Как пойдут ясные дни, то и длятся недели три-четыре; и вечер тепел там, и ночь душна. Звезды так приветливо, так дружески мигают с небес.
Дождь ли пойдет — какой благотворный летний дождь! Хлынет бойко, обильно, весело запрыгает, точно крупные и жаркие слезы внезапно обрадованного человека; а только перестанет — солнце уже опять с ясной улыбкой любви осматривает и сушит поля и пригорки: и вся страна опять улыбается счастьем в ответ солнцу.
Радостно приветствует дождь крестьянин: «Дождичек вымочит, солнышко высушит!» — говорит он, подставляя с наслаждением под теплый ливень лицо, плечи и спину.

Нескучные истории - Not boring stories

Отрывок из романа Ивана Гончарова "Обломов"

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.


IELTS 85 Speaking

Describe a positive change you made in your life - IELTS speaking part 2

نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

که بسی گل بدمد باز و تو در گل باشی

من نگویم که کنون با که نشین و چه بنوش

که تو خود دانی اگر زیرک و عاقل باشی

چنگ در پرده همین می‌دهدت پند ولی

وعظت آن گاه کند سود که قابل باشی

در چمن هر ورقی دفتر حالی دگر است

حیف باشد که ز کار همه غافل باشی

نقد عمرت ببرد غصه دنیا به گزاف

گر شب و روز در این قصه مشکل باشی

گر چه راهیست پر از بیم ز ما تا بر دوست

رفتن آسان بود ار واقف منزل باشی

حافظا گر مدد از بخت بلندت باشد

صید آن شاهد مطبوع شمایل باشی


'Tis the fresh spring . In this strive that joyous of heart thou mayst be
For , again , blossometh many a rose when in the clay of the grave thou shall be . *** Within the veil , thee , the harp keepeth giving counsel . But ,
Thee , counsel profiteth at that time when worthy thou mayst be . *** I say not now , with whom , sit what drink
For thou knowest , if wise and learned thou be . *** In the sward , every leaf is a book of a different state
Woe is it if , careless of the state of all , thou be . *** Though , from us to the Friend , is a Path the path of ma'rifat full of fear ,
Easy is the going , if acquainted with the stage the Shaikh thou be . *** In excess , the world's anguish taketh life's cash ,
If , night and day , in this difficult tale , of journeying to the Friend thou be . *** O Hafiz if , from lofty fortune , aid be thine ,
The prey of that true Beloved , impressed with excellences , thou shalt be 

Persian Poetry

Hafiz - نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

A common mistake is to use the collocation "more easier" but this is a mistake. So, let's explore some ways that we can do this correctly. I hope you find today's podcast useful!
