Idioms: Mixed Practice
Idioms mixed practice is the B2 consolidation worksheet that brings together idioms from all source domains for cumulative review. The format mirrors Cambridge B2/C1 Reading-Use of English idiom-recognition tasks: idioms appear without category labels, learners must recognise them across body, food, weather, colour, sports, animals, time, money, business, and nature domains. Learners build the recognition-under-pressure skill that exam contexts require.
This worksheet builds B2 cumulative idiom-recognition fluency.

Common challenges: Recognition-under-pressure at B2 — idioms in isolation are easier than idioms embedded in context. Cumulative review surfaces gaps in idiom inventory. Frequency calibration: knowing which idioms are worth productive use vs which are just recognition material.
For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B2, in upper-intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study — particularly Cambridge candidates. Maps onto Cambridge B2 First (FCE) and C1 Advanced (CAE) Reading-Use of English. Part of the Sports & Nature Idioms collection — the natural next step is Sports Idioms and Expressions.
