Spotlight IELTS Vocabulary, October  2019

Oct 31, 2019 | IELTS, IELTS News, IELTS Test

Welcome to the eighth edition of Spotlight IELTS Vocabulary.

This series helps you to learn vocabulary by introducing you to articles containing high-level vocabulary. We recommend that you don’t just make notes of new words, but that you copy the whole sentence. That way, you can learn and review the vocabulary in context later.

All the articles you see here were first curated on our Twitter and LinkedIn accounts.

How To Use These Articles

Just start reading!

As we noted above, once you come across a new word copy the whole sentence in which it appeared. This will help you to both remember the word and to use it naturally. Using it naturally is the key difference between a Band 8.0 and a Band 9.0.

After learning the words find as many opportunities to use them as you can. One way to do this is to keep a diary. It is important to use the words if you want to make them an active part of your speech.

For the ultimate practice, book a lesson with one of our teachers or even a Writing Correction.
