Build Better Vocabulary
✓ Learn words in context rather than isolation✓ Record useful collocations and common phrases✓ Explore different forms within a word family✓ Notice synonyms and paraphrasing✓ Check meaning, grammar and register✓ Review and reuse new language regularly
Vocabulary for IELTS
Focus on vocabulary that helps you:✓ Discuss common IELTS topics clearly✓ Paraphrase questions and source information✓ Describe trends, changes and comparisons✓ Express opinions with precision✓ Explain causes, effects and solutions✓ Connect ideas naturally
A Better Vocabulary Method
When you learn a new word, record its meaning, pronunciation and grammatical form.Add common collocations, related word forms and one natural example sentence.Notice whether the word is formal, informal or suitable for both spoken and written English.Use new vocabulary in your own speaking and writing, then review it regularly.
Accuracy Before Complexity
Advanced vocabulary only helps when it is accurate, natural and appropriate.Avoid memorising long lists of unusual words or forcing complex expressions into every answer.A familiar word used precisely is more effective than an advanced word used incorrectly.
