IELTS Collocation PRO Status

For some tips on building your vocabulary take a look at this application. - If you do not know how to use collocations then they will sound or look ‘wrong’ to a native speaker . - In the marking criteria in IELTS, you are marked on Lexical Resource (vocabulary).  You will be marked on the way you use collocations in the writing section, mainly essays. - Not only are collocations in IELTS important for writing, but they are useful in the speaking test also.  Collocations are like chunks of language and there are various patterns to these. - The best way to learn collocations is through reading, listening and making your own sentences.  - Some of the most important vocabulary needed for IELTS writing are collocations.  I do not advise making word lists because you must know how collocations work in the surrounding sentence.  Basically, collocations are 2 or 3 words that commonly go together and sound just right to a native speaker.  You have to know how to use them correctly though. - When you learn new words you must learn the surrounding words or the matching words that help it collocate.  I advise making a vocabulary book where you write out example sentences.  They give your speech a smooth natural flow, which if used well, can help you get a Band 7 or more in the speaking test.  These are essential when expanding your vocabulary.  Do not just memorise words on their own.  IELTSCollocationPRO is free and support OFFLINE.  It'll perfect for English learner.  These also have to be reviewed regularly and put into practice.
