Example 1 of idioms in dogs IELTS English:
The speaker was a student on a night train.
I stayed up all night last night to finish a history essay and this morning my coach made me run five miles in the summer heat. He said: "I was writing a short essay on history class all night last night, and this morning my coach asked me to run five miles under the hot summer sun. I was so tired that I couldn't even walk.
He first drove a night car without sleep, and then ran five miles the next morning, so that a lot of brain power and physical strength can really exhaust people, so dog tired means "tired and unable to move," or "exhausted." "
Example 2 of idiomatic expressions in dogs IELTS English:
There is also a common idiom: go to the dogs.
The idiomatic term Go to the dogs comes from the idea that people eating leftover cold rice can be fed to dogs. In other words, what goes to the dog is always inferior. It was a child describing his father's recent poor state.
My dad has really gone to the dogs since he lost his job. All he does now is hang around the house, watch TV and drink beer.
He said: "My dad has been in a terrible situation since he lost his job, and he is now idle every day except watching TV and drinking beer.
His father went from going to work every day to being idle, becoming increasingly depressed and depraved. So go to the dogs means getting worse and worse, and sometimes even falling down, and even destroying.
Example 3 of idiomatic expressions in dogs IELTS English:
Sometimes we hear rain cats and dogs. Scholars of language have differing opinions about the origin of the idiom rain cats and dogs. There is a saying that this idiomatic term comes from the Seventeenth Century, when torrential rains could turn the streets and alleys of towns into rivers and streams, and the water gushed down the streets and alleys, and the cats and dogs that drifted with the waves were the homeless cats and dogs on the streets, so people began to use rain cats and dogs to describe the downpour.
Bob and Susan were just about to exchange marriage vows when there was a crack of thunder and it started to rain cats and dogs. Everyone at the wedding was soaked and the cake was ruined.
The rain was mostly soaked, and it also washed away the wedding cake, and it seemed that the rain was really heavy, so it can be seen that rain cats and dogs are the meaning of heavy rain pouring.
The above is the idiomatic expression of dogs IELTS English shared by Langheng foreign language teachers, do not underestimate any of the IELTS words we are familiar with, because we may not all understand the idioms behind it. I wish you all a smooth IELTS exam, pay more attention to it, and learn everywhere, and the idioms in IELTS English are even more so.
