Idiom of fear




1. Shaking like a leaf : means that when someone is too scare that they cannot stop moving

2. Scared stiff: So frightened tat you cannot move

3. It sends shivers up and down my spine: something frightens you very much (useless in Ielts)

Sometimes when i was a little boy, I was scared about the ghost story. Whenever I heard a haunting from my sister I was usually "shaking like a leaf" but it never make me "scared stiff" so My mother always told that I was a brave boy :">.  And now I know that ghost is just imagination and I do not believe in it. But rarely I read a frightening story . maybe "It sends shivers up and down my spine" :-SS

Transport idioms: Drive




1. In the driver's seat: In English if someone is in control the situation or in charge of something we can say they are in the driver's seat.


2. A backseat driver: if someone tries to take control the situation but they are not responsible for. They can be called a backseat driver


3. A Sunday driver: We call someone who drives in an annoying  slow speed a Sunday driver 


For example:  I think I'm always in the driver's seat in my studying and I like working as a team with other people, which will improve my knowledge and my skill. But I really really don't like working with people like a backseat driver who don't know anything about what has to do or how to do it, however they always tell other people should or shouldn't do.
