Hello and welcome to this IELTS Master Band 7 Plus vocabulary lesson.

This lesson is lesson one and it's on family.

So, let's get started.

Let's talk about the structure for this vocabulary course.

My philosophy is that in order to really learn vocabulary,

you need to know words in a deep way.

So, in this lesson, I've given you definitions with notes and example sentences,

collocations, and collocation is a new word, possibly.

It means words that go together often.

And finally, an action step to end each lesson.

So, each lesson in this vocabulary course will have words with definitions,

notes, and example sentences, a collocation chart or picture for these words,

and at the end of each lesson,

there will be an action step.

So, let's take a look at the words for this lesson.

Now, again, the theme is family.

For this lesson, the words are sibling,

relative, adolescence, nurture, and relationship.

You might know some of these words already,

but the chances are that you will learn some new combinations or collocations with these words,

or maybe a new example sentence that uses the word in a way you didn't know or you hadn't thought of before.

Let's look at word number one, sibling.

The definition is a brother or sister.

This is quite simple, right?

Sibling, as is noted, is often used instead of brother or sister in writing.

It's also used that way in speech.

Let's take a look at some example sentences.

First, siblings can have a profound impact on a child's life.

So brothers and sisters can have a profound impact on a child's life.

And profound means big.

I didn't have any siblings growing up,

so I learned to be independent.

This might be a sentence you say during an IELTS speaking interview.

And last, in China, one of the effects of the one-child policy was that many children grew up without a sibling.

So, we use siblings with an S in the first two sentences,

but we can also use it,

like in the last sentence,

with a, meaning one sibling,

one brother or one sister.

Next, let's look at collocations.

To get started easy, we chose a word like sibling that doesn't have a lot of collocations.

What does collocation mean?

Collocation means a word or words that go together often.

Sibling rivalry is a common collocation.

That means you'll see these two words together, sibling and rivalry.

What does sibling rivalry mean?

Well, when you have a brother or sister that like to compete with each other in lots of different things,

maybe in sports, maybe in eating food at the dinner table,

maybe in business, or just something in life.

When they always like to compete with each other,

then it's a sibling rivalry.

Got it?

Great.

Let's continue.

Next is relative.

A relative is a person in the same family or a family member. And some example sentences.

With the rise of nuclear families,

the amount of time spent with extended relatives has decreased.

So we have nuclear families,

like the parents and the children, and then extended relatives.

extended relatives would be relatives like aunts and uncles

and cousins maybe grandparents the next sentence is

when I was younger I used to spend a lot of time with my relatives

while my parents were away on business in this sentence we use relatives to say not parents but family and

And last, hiring relatives can create family problems if there are difficulties at work.

And let's look at some collocations.

Wow, here we have six different collocations.

Now, there are many, many more collocations for each word,

but for this course, I've chosen six of the most common collocations for this word.

First is care for relative.

Okay?

To care for.

For example, on weekends, I go to the hospital to care for my relatives.

Just like you could say grandparents or aunt and uncle.

To care for your relatives.

Next is other relatives.

I have my brother and sister,

and then I have other relatives that live in the house as well.

Distant relatives are your family members that are far away from you,

not in terms of how far away in the country they are,

but from you in your family.

So, for example, my mother's cousin's son could be an example of a distant relative.

On the other side, close relative.

Now, close relative is someone that you have a close relationship with that's in your family.

Elderly relative, someone who is older and your relative.

And finally, visit relatives.

Now, this is a common collocation.

It's common to say, next year,

I'm going to visit my relatives in Europe or something like that.

Number three, adolescence.

Adolescence.

The definition of adolescence is the period between childhood and adulthood.

And this means the teenage years.

So if you look at the note,

if we have adolescence with a T and an S,

or adolescent without the S, it basically means teenager.

So think 13 to about 19 years old could be adolescence.

Let's say that one more time because it's a little bit difficult.

Adolescence. And example sentences.

100

Adolescence can be a difficult time both for the child and the parent.

101

Very true.

102

In regards to prison sentences,

103

I believe that adolescents should be treated the same way as adults.

104

And note change CE at the end of the word to TS to describe people,

105

not the period of time.

106

So the first example sentence is the period of time,

107

and the second example sentence is the person or the people.

108

Collocations for adolescence.

109

Well, we have early adolescence.

110

Early adolescence is like 13, 14, 15 years old.

111

During adolescence. And childhood and adolescence.

112

Adolescence is a good comparison word for childhood.

113

You have childhood, adolescence, adulthood.

114

Next, nurture.

115

The definition of nurture is to help someone or something develop and grow.

116

And you can see the picture of the person nurturing the plant on the top right.

117

Also, note the adjective form of nurture is nurturing.

118

So let's look at some example sentences.

119

First, nature versus nurture is a common topic among scientists.

120

It discusses whether a person's life is mostly from his DNA,

121

nature, or from life experiences and his environment, nurture.

122

So this is an interesting sentence and an interesting topic.

123

if you're interested in this copy or type in nature versus nurture into Google

124

or another search engine and take a look next sentence growing up in a healthy

125

and nurturing environment can prepare children for future success here we're using nurture in its adjective form nurturing next to environment.

126

Collocations.

127

We have nurture by someone or nurture by something and to nurture talent.

128

So if a child is talented,

129

perhaps a coach will nurture their talent

130

and help them become better at what they're doing

131

and nurture by someone for example the child was nurtured

132

by their coach for many years number five relationship the definition of relationship is the way in

133

which two people groups or countries behave towards each other

134

or deal with each other and it says two people

135

but really a relationship can be more than two people

136

and some example sentences I have a good working relationship with my boss.

137

Maintaining a strong relationship with your friends becomes more difficult later in life.

138

The relationship between the police and local community has improved.

139

Now of course you probably know relationship.

140

The interesting thing about relationship is the collocations.

141

First, we have relationship between.

142

For example, a relationship between two people.

143

Relationship with.

144

For example, a relationship with your parents.

145

A relationship with your family or with your boss.

146

Next, establish a relationship.

147

This means to make a relationship to create a relationship next

148

a close relationship up on the top right close relationship you

149

have a good a strong a close relationship with a person

150

next a personal relationship personal relationship usually compares with work relationship

151

so if you develop a personal relationship with someone then maybe you have a friendship with them

152

and last a special relationship i think you understand what this one means

153

so that's the five words for this lesson your action step

154

for today is to use each word to write two sentences

155

and post your sentences in the comments below be sure to use the collocations that I introduced whenever you can.

156

It's good practice to use these collocations so that you can remember them and truly deeply understand these words.

157

When it comes to your IELTS test,

158

your speaking, or your writing,

159

you'll choose the correct words to put together and it will really help your score.

160

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
