What should you avoid when you choose vocabulary words to study?
- Avoid words that are too specific. If you learn words that only apply to one specific topic then they won’t help you much on IELTS
- Avoid learning the wrong definition or the dictionary definition that is not correct or modern.
Here are sample words that you don’t want on your vocabulary list. Words that is so specific that you could only use them in for like one question out of a million.
- Bracket- It means a support for a weight that is usually attached to a wall. This is so specific that there are very few situations in which you would need to use it on IELTS. Don’t focus on words like these.
- Geriatric- It means elderly. Many times this word is used in the wrong way and if you learn this by focusing only on the dictionary definition you will use it wrong.
Better words for IELTS:
Here are some words and phrases that could be used for a multitude of common IELTS topics.
- Aesthetic- it means appearance. You can use it to describe what a restaurant looks like, what your food looks like, clothing, material or any kind of physical experience.
- In one’s golden years- it means the elderly phase of your life. This would be great to describe your life plans or even your family members and their lives.
