Today's idiom is "cost an arm and a leg". Arm and a leg is priceless so when expressing this idiom, it's basically saying that particular thing is so expensive that you will have to pay with an arm and a leg.

For example, "That meal cost me an arm and a leg."

After years of grading IGCSE English essays, one pattern has become increasingly clear to me: many students aim to do just enough to complete the task, rather than enough to truly meet the standard. On the surface, their work may appear acceptable—they answer the question, structure their ideas loosely, and demonstrate basic language control. However, what they often produce falls short of the depth, clarity, and precision required for a solid B1 level.

A B1 response is not simply about completing the task; it requires consistent development of ideas, clear organisation, and a reasonable range of vocabulary and sentence structures. Unfortunately, many students stop at the minimum—brief points with little elaboration, repetitive language, and limited attention to accuracy. As a teacher, it can be frustrating to see potential left unrealised, especially when small but deliberate improvements—such as expanding ideas, varying expressions, and proofreading—could make a significant difference.

This “just enough” mindset is something we need to address early on. Students must understand that adequacy does not equate to proficiency, and that reaching a B1 standard demands effort beyond the bare minimum.
