IELTS Speaking Vocabulary 

Hello and welcome to the IELTS Vocabulary page! If you're studying for the IELTS, you already know that having a solid vocabulary is essential for success. We've compiled lists of topic-specific vocabulary and how to use it in the exam. To practise and improve your vocabulary, you'll discover extensive explanations and an IELTS vocabulary list. 

Vocabulary is important to win the speaking and writing

In both the speaking and writing sections, vocabulary or lexical resources account for 25% of your final mark. We are constantly updating this list of subjects that you might expect to see in the exam. It is usual for students to be stuck with an IELTS exam score of 6.5 and assume that in order to achieve a band 7, they must increase their IELTS vocabulary. 

By reading and listening, you can constantly expand your passive vocabulary word lists. Next include these words into your active vocabulary by utilising them in conversation or writing. To progress faster, try to record new words in a phrasebook while reading, listening, or viewing English material. If you have time, include the context as well. When you finish an essay, go through it again and seek for ways to incorporate the terms from your list. Similarly, when speaking, attempt to incorporate your new vocabulary into your talks; but, don't force it or it will sound strange!
