The Phrases
- Mr Right
- Prince Charming
Its Definition
A perfect partner.
Discussion
This phrase is useful (for female candidates) because it can describe a perfectly compatible partner, and most IELTS candidates are single, and may well need to refer to such a person when talking about the future, ambitions, problems in life – in other words, typical IELTS speaking topics.
Example Sentences
In IELTS Speaking
- “Oh, I went to a nightclub, but I quickly realised I wouldn’t find Mr Right in that sort of place.”
- “Basically, all us girls are looking for our Prince Charming, but it never happens, does it?”
In IELTS Writing
- Nightclubs exist, as do dating and match-making services, catering primarily to women seeking their ‘Mr Right’.
- If we accept that women are innately different from men, then the very concept of ‘Mr Right’ may well be merely an illusion.
