What is IELTS?
 The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular high-stakes
English language proficiency test for study, work and migration, with more than three million tests
taken in the past year.
 The IELTS results are recognised by more than 10,000 organisations, including educational

IELTS
institutions, employers, professional associations and governments, in 140 countries around the
world.
 You can choose to take your IELTS test either on paper or computer, depending on your
convenience. There is no difference in the content, format or level of difficulty between the two
options.
 Remember, you will have to carefully choose which module you wish to take - IELTS Academic or
IELTS General Training, depending on the purpose of your taking the test.
 IELTS is a test of all four language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. You will take
the Listening, Reading and Writing tests all on the same day one after the other, with no breaks in
between. For the Speaking test, you can book a slot online on your preferred date and time.

Vocabulary in the IELTS Writing Section

As you know, there are four criteria to evaluate your IELTS essays for task 1 and

VOCABULARY
FOR IELTS
task 2.
One of these criteria is called lexical resource, which evaluates the words you
write in your essay, how rich your vocabulary is, and to what extent you know
how to use it.
Choosing the right words in the context, using synonyms, and avoiding tautology
will increase your final score.
VOCABULARY FOR IELTS

Vocabulary will reduce your IELTS Writing Score if:

VOCABULARY
FOR IELTS
 You use words in the wrong meaning;
 You confuse the form of a word (for example, instead of an adjective, use a
noun, etc.);
 You do not use synonyms and repeat the same words;
 You spell many words in a wrong way.

VOCABULARY
vocabulary.

FOR IELTS
 Connective words and phrases are very important to finish writing task 2 in a logical


and coherent way.
 You must use transitional or connective words in your writing task 2 as it is considered
one of the important factors for a high band score.
 The essay writing for IELTS requires you to present convincing arguments, reasoning,
examples, and point of view.
 To make your essay impressive and to show pieces of evidence or examples in a
coherent and logical way, you have to use these connective words.
 However, do not overuse the linking phrases or connective phrases just to show that
you know so many of them.
 Use those connective phrases/words or linking phrases/words properly.
