Hi
I keep seeing the word ‘green‘ in the news: ‘green transport’, ‘green investment’ and just recently ‘green weddings’.
This word, meaning ‘environmentally-friendly’, is a word you need to know because you may have to read, write or speak about a particular environmental issue (or listen to a recording about one) in your IELTS test.
To get you thinking ‘green’, here are some links to recent newspaper articles on green topics.
Hi
You may have been told that learning more vocabulary from the Academic Word List (AWL) is useful IELTS preparation, but do you know why it’s useful?
I asked myself the same question, did some research, and this is what I found out.
Hi
In our recent IELTS seminar, I provided some words and phrases like ‘cause‘ and ‘result in‘ that can be used to show a cause/effect relationship between ideas.
Such words and phrases are often useful when writing an IELTS writing task 2 essay.
Here’s a list with some examples of how they could be used in an answer to the essay question in my post ‘To what extent…‘.
Hi
Here’s a question that I get asked a lot: ‘What vocabulary should I learn as part of my IELTS preparation?’.
Last month, I talked about learning words on the Academic Word List; today, I’d like to recommend that you also learn more vocabulary specifically-related to common IELTS topics.
To get you started, I’ve found some words related to the common IELTS topic of the natural world that appear many times in one of the articles I suggested you read in my post ‘Some recommended reading for you‘.
One of these words is ‘species‘.
Hi
In our recent IELTS seminar on how to write a better essay for your IELTS test, I got asked about how to answer a particular type of IELTS writing task 2 question.
The type of question the candidate was uncertain about is the one that asks ‘To what extent do you agree or disagree?‘.
I get asked this question a lot, and so I’d like to answer it here by looking at an example from the official IELTS website.
