Well, Idiomatic expressions are very significant to speak impressively and obtain high score in your competitive and exams conducted to study abroad. if you hear any native English speaker it is sometimes very tough to figure out what he says. Idioms and phrases draw attention of listeners and make you an interesting communicator. To be a proficient writer and speaker you must be able to use idioms as ease. I have read the model answers of advanced students who score around 8 bands. They are very good at idioms and phrases. I would recommend you to collect the idioms topic wise so you can be well prepared to face your IELTS and other competitive exams.
In this post we bring you 10 idioms to
help you score 7+ bands in your IELTS examination. You are strongly advised to
practice these idioms as more as you can. Your goal is to be very comfortable
using such idiomatic expressions when needed.
Let’s master 10 idioms to be more fluent
and expressive.
1. Hit the books:-
“Hit” this word
may make you thing to hit something physically. We would let you know that
idioms are very different in meanings. Grammatically meanings of any idiom
differ than what actually it means. When you study a lot. You hit the books. It
means To Study.
2. Hit the sack or Hit the hay:-

something. Now you can not do that as you used to do. My brother was superb

the sun or the moon. If you are under the weather it means you are out of
