yes go check it out guys definitely um okay so the first idiom guys kill two birds with one stone
that is exactly what we're talking about right yes it's all about multitasking right it's about
getting two things done at once and especially for something like this we'll use it when
you're doing one thing and succeeding in two different ways accomplishing two different
goals right studying for ielts not only are you preparing your ielts you're also preparing for
the rest of your life to be successful in english yeah we i like to use this when i'm talking to my
kids when i'm talking about i'm killing two birds with one stone when i teach them something right
it's like i'm making you a good person and i also get to play this fun game with you win win
i love it i know and as busy working moms we we kill like five birds with one stone
i mean talk about multitasking um but don't say five birds you have to say two but yeah i mean
i'm always always and forever exploiting every minute to try and kill as many birds as i can
um so yeah like herbal it's like if you use the actual idiom two birds with one stone i
don't think of it i don't think of the birds that are dying i know it's so much changing i
say kill as many birds as i can that's what sounds terrible don't kill so but here's an example guys
um i kill two birds with one stone um every day when i take my dogs for a walk and i listen to
educational podcasts like about history or business right so i'm learning something while i'm
exercising myself and my dogs nice great example you guys this is so useful for ielts speaking
anytime you're talking about work or friends there's so many questions where you can say i
actually kill two birds with one stone when i do that and then explain how the action
crea it creates multiple advantages i love it i love it um so this next one guys is a bit more
rare than the previous one i just love how it sounds and i think it would be fabulous not just
for speaking but also writing because this is like sort of an antiquated saying i would say and it's
more of a proverb than just like a slangy idiom right so this is great for writing as well it's
kinda long write this down a rolling stone gathers no moss so just picture this picture this in your
mind guys a rock is rolling down the hill so it's never going to get that mossy grossness on it
right because it is moving so we use this as um a metaphor for life for work for ielts for whatever
your goals are if you are continuously moving forward towards your goals you won't get um that
terrible stagnancy right that terrible feeling of being still and gross and not accomplishing
anything um so this is it's a lovely phrase it is we all feel that moss growing when we like
binge watch a netflix series several in a row you're like oh i feel that mass i feel
stagnant i haven't accomplished anything all day i need to get rolling um so yeah totally
