- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future. - Jim Rohn Uploaded by S. Safi FOREWORD Dear reader, Congratulations, you now have a secret pocket-guide with the most important collocations in the IELTS reading and listening tests.
You can whip this nifty guide out whenever you want for some quick high-focus revision! I’ve been lucky enough to be able to help many students improve their IELTS vocabulary, IELTS listening, IELTS speaking and IELTS Reading & Writing skills over the last ten years or so. When I first started working as a business writing coach and IELTS teacher in 2009, I felt like I had a lot to learn, and fortunately I still do. The information in this book comes from hundreds of hours of research and from my practical experience of preparing thousands of students for this exam. The contents of this book are not exhaustive, but I’ve tried my best to compile the most original and valuable information possible for you.
Best Regards, Marc Uploaded by S. Safi WHY COLLOCATIONS IN USE? IELTS Vocabulary Book 2: "IELTS Vocabulary Masterclass 8. BOOK 2: Master IELTS Collocations: Reading Vocabulary & Listening Vocabulary" The reason why IELTS Vocabulary Book 2 focuses exclusively on collocations in use: Many candidates preparing for IELTS, study countless hours learning hundreds of obscure high-level words, but they never realize something VERY IMPORTANT. + The IELTS test is designed so that high-level vocabulary is usually not central to the information being transmitted.
This means that you don’t need to know most of these words for the exam, you ONLY need to learn how to understand the general message based on the context. + IELTS is designed to test your REAL ability in English and collocations are a BIG part of this, so they are VERY common in the reading and listening parts of the exam. + Collocations are usually PACKED with meaning and this is why native speakers use them so often in REAL English. + BECAUSE collocations are full of meaning, it’s often extremely difficult to understand them from context, so you must learn them for the exam.
+ When the IELTS EXAMINERS write the exam, they use collocations to test your REAL ability to understand English. + If you want to get a higher band score in the IELTS test, instead of focusing on obscure high-level language, you need to focus on what the EXAMINERS are focusing on! – If the use of collocations is one of the elements they are focusing on, you should learn them. Safi ABOUT THIS BOOK About "IELTS Vocabulary Masterclass 8.
