IELTS HOPECO: Vocabulary Practice

When you see a new word that you think is useful, you should write it down in a notebook. Look up the meaning of the new word in a dictionary and copy a few sen­tences. Write some of your own sentences using the new word, and ask your teacher to check them.

Find some other words that have the same meaning (i.e. synonyms). Being able to think of synonyms is one of the keys to doing well in IELTS, especially the Reading and Listening tests. However, be careful as many words can only be used as synonyms in certain situations. For instance: You can rent/hire a car. You can hire a new employee, but you cannot rent a new employee.
