My Bucket List

Today, I learned a new idiom: “bucket list”. Bucket list is the list of things that you want to do in your lifetime {or "in your life before you die"}. You can also use also another expression connected with this one: “to kick the bucket”. It is the same as to saying that a person is dead has died* (gasp!). In_fact, when you want to do some certain things in your life, you hope to do them before you die. "Kicking the bucket" spilt spills all your dreams on the ground** (what a pity!). Anyway, my the first thing on my bucket list is to retire to Greece one day with my wife. This is a good way to live.

Another thing on my bucket list is to take an IELTS exam and (to) get a good score. I don’t know if passing an IELTS test passed will be useful one day in Greece, under the sun, but it doesn’t matter.

*This is a subtlety, but "to kick the bucket" suggests that someone has just died recently, not someone who has been dead for a long time.

**This is understandable, but I'm not sure if you were using a colloquial expression here that doesn't translate literally in English, maybe something like "All your dreams fall/fade away/come to nought when you "kick the bucket."
