The following table of nouns is from my IELTS ebook for part two of the writing test. The ebook also include verbs and adjectives.
Some useful nouns
| Word | Meaning |
| addiction | the condition of not being able to stop doing something. Especially something harmful like drinking alcohol or playing video games. |
| allergy | a strong reaction to something. For instance, an allergy to a certain food. |
| anxiety | stress |
| diagnosis | an opinion of a patient’s health condition or illness. |
| diet |
1. everything that we eat. 2. a plan to eat carefully to reduce weight. |
| insomnia | inability or difficulty to get to sleep. |
| ingredients | the different foods that go into a recipe. |
| obesity | being extremely overweight. |
| nutrition | the health value of food. |
| physician | another word for doctor. |
| treatment | a way of curing an illness or medical condition. |
I don’t find the advanced vocabulary for some of the other common topics here, like: Sports.. are you planning to incorporate those as well?

Hello Mike,
The use of “No” with “unable” seems inappropriate to me. So, when I was reading the sentence, I did not think it to be the correct one.

I think the meaning of addiction should be: Not being able to stop doing something instead of “the condition of not being unable to stop doing something.”
Thank You!
Thanks. Any reason for your opinion?
I agree, it seems like we should use “being uable” or “not being able”. Because “not being unable” means “being able”.
Yes, I agree as well… it’s an error and I have fixed it now. Thanks.
