IELTS Vocabulary

Vocabulary to increase your score for the IELTS test.
For the speaking exam is essential to use some idiomatic expressions to get to 7 for vocabulary [lexical resource]. In order to achieve this, I suggest you learn 10 or 20 common idiomatic expressions that can be used for a wide range of topics. The idea is to learn a few well rather than trying to learn many and not being able to use them correctly or remember to use them. Practice using them by looking at sample questions and thinking which idiomatic expression can be used.

Vocabulary accuracy
As well as using lots of high-level words you also need to use them correctly. A common way to lower your score is to mix up idioms such as to say something costs “a leg and arm” instead of “an arm and a leg.” If you’re learning new vocabulary or unsure of a word you already know I have a useful tool for you that can help you to check how the word is actually used by showing you sample sentences of its usage.
