Hello Md Sajadul Islam,

Today I have a short lesson for you all about Transport

It’s a topic that often ‘crops up’ (appears) in IELTS Speaking.

These are idioms that will make you sound like a native speaker 👍
_____

A backseat driver = someone who doesn’t drive, but tells the driver how to
drive!
My wife is a backseat driver and she drives me crazy when she starts giving me
directions.

To travel light = to take very few things with you when you travel

I always travel light when I take a weekend trip, I just take the bare essentials.

By the skin of our teeth = just in time or just narrowly manage to do someting

We caught the train by the skin of our teeth, just minutes before it left the station!

To hit the road = to start a journey

It’s already 6 o’clock and time we hit the road

Listen to Audio

Now…let me test you!

Try to fill in the blanks (one word each blank)

1. I am only coming to visit you for a few days, so I will travel ______
2. What time do we need to ______ the road tomorrow?
3. We almost missed our flight, but there was little traffic on the way to the
airport, so we made it by the _____ of our _____ .
4. I don’t need a __________ driver, I know exactly how to drive, thank you!
Scroll for answers:

​That’s it.

Hope you find this useful.
