Spotlight Vocabulary, September 2020

Sep 24, 2020 | IELTS, IELTS Reading, IELTS Test, IELTS Vocabulary

Welcome to the September 2020 edition of Spotlight Vocabulary.

This is the series in which you can find a series of curated articles which contain high-level vocabulary and ideas you can use on test day – or even everyday life!

These are just a selection of the articles we read in April; you can find more on our LinkedIn and Twitter accounts.

How To Use These Articles

Just click and read!

Have more time? Write down the whole sentence in which the word appears. Learning new vocabulary in context helps you to remember and use it more accurately – especially when it comes to collocation.

Finally, use the words you learn whenever you have an opportunity. That way, you can make them an active part of your everyday English.

Passive vocabulary is useful for listening and reading tests, but you need ready recollection for it to be useful in speaking and writing.

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