We can have an interest in something We can be interested in something We can be interested by something We can find something interesting We can think that something is interesting Just what the doctor ordered something that will be perfect for what you need For example: He was bored at the office. The phone call from his friend was just what the doctor ordered. Its not about what you want. Its more about something that happens and you think that that thing was just what you needed at that moment. For example: My wife and I didn't think we needed or wanted pets. But after we got them, we realised that they were just what the doctor ordered. We love having the dogs in the house now. bad rap (also called a bum rap): an unfair bad opinion For example: Our boss has a bad rap. Everyone thinks he's really mean. But he's actually a really nice guy. Very few people talk to him so that's why they don't know that he's such a great guy. Something or someone can have a bad rap. People think that the thing or person is not good in some way. But this opinion is wrong. They don't really know about the thing or the person. Their opinion is unfair. Something has a bad rap. This is the structure that we should use. If you want to use it in a different way, you can say: We shouldn't give something a bad rap before knowing about the thing properly This means we should not have an unfair opinion about something before we know a lot about it conscious 意识到的 We can be conscious of something. This means that we are aware of something.
