Idiomatic illness part 2

Hello again everybody. So last week I told you all about my miserable Christmas holiday and how ill I felt. You can see the original post here. Well, you'll be pleased to hear that I'm much better now and busy teaching and IELTs course at snowy Westcroft Square. Well it's not too snowy now, but apparently there's more on the way. If you look at Ben's post from last week you'll be able to see what it was like here!

You might remember that my last post was full of idiomatic language. Congratulations to Bahar who managed to guess some of the health idioms from last week's blog. She correctly worked out what to be at death's door and to bounce back meant.

How many did you manage to get right? Have a look below for the answers:

to be/feel under the weather to feel unwell
to be at death's door to be very unwell
to bounce back to recover quickly
to be on the road to recovery to be getting better after an illness
to be chomping at the bit to be very keen to do something
to be right as rain to have recovered
to be over the worst to have overcome the hardest part
to feel full of beans to feel full of energy

That's all for now, thanks for reading.
