IELTS Vocabulary Tips and WordLists
Vocabulary plays quite an important role in the IELTS Exam. IELTS vocabulary constitutes 25% of your marks in the Speaking & Writing Section and helps a lot in the Reading & listening sections. Hence, knowing IELTS vocabulary tips and wordlists are going to enhance your IELTS score.
Having good Vocabulary in IELTS Reading & Listening tests, makes it easy to get our answers correct & having a wider range of vocabulary helps you not only understand the question, but also locate the answers through skimming and scanning, using synonyms and connect the contexts better.
Why is vocabulary important in IELTS?
- It is important to have a flexible use of a wide range of vocabulary for IELTS as the examiner will be looking for this in the writing and speaking
- It is also necessary for your reading so that you understand the texts as they will have a lot of difficult words.
- When it comes to IELTS academic writing, more of academic words should be included for both the tasks. Everyday language should be avoided and it should be strictly academic.
- Coming to IELTS general writing, if you task-1 is a casual letter, you should include more of phrasal verbs and casual language. In case of a formal letter, more of formal language with good words should be included. Task-2, which is an essay should consists academic words in case of both the modules.
IELTS Vocabulary Tips
- Learning long lists of words won’t improve your score, you need to learn words by context and topic
- Write to express not impress. Your main priority should be to communicate clearly and effectively. Therefore, you need to find a balance between accuracy, appropriacy and range. A single heavy word isn’t giving you the score you need.
- You can use hard copies or online versions such as dictionary.com and thesaurus.com. When you come across a new word, look it up in the dictionary. An online dictionary will give you the definition and will let you hear the pronunciation.
- Group words together that relate to a similar topic to make it easier to remember and relate them. These categories could be food, hobbies, nature, society, etc.
- List words that the word collocates with. For example, manage effectively; manage competently; efficient management; competent management, etc.
- Learn one word each day. Check the menu or sidebar of alwaysielts.com for this.
