1
If you know and use these 20 words and phrases, you're already on your way to achieving a band seven or higher in IELTS speaking.
2
In this video, I'll explain each word
3
and give you an example sentence to show how to use it in everyday English and IELTS speaking.
4
At the end of the video, there will be a quiz to test your knowledge.
5
Let's get started.
6
First up is dedicated, which means hardworking and committed to achieving a particular goal.
7
In your daily life, you might say something like, my sister is very dedicated to her studies and spends several hours reading every day.
8
In an IELTS speaking context, you could argue that dedicated employees are more likely to achieve their career goals
9
because they're willing to work hard and overcome challenges.
10
It's a great word to use when describing hardworking people, especially students, teachers, or employees pursuing a goal.
11
Next is exceed.
12
This means to be greater or better than a particular amount, level, or expectation.
13
You might notice in everyday life that the cost of repairing a car exceeded your expectations.
14
For an IELTS response, you could mention how some students put a lot of pressure on themselves
15
because they always want to exceed their parents' expectations.
16
Use this to discuss expectations, goals, limits, and performance.
17
It serves as a useful formal alternative to the phrase, go beyond.
18
Our third word is favorable, meaning positive or helpful for achieving a particular result.
19
If you're talking about your weekend, you might say the weather looks favorable for a trip.
20
When tackling an IELTS prompt, you could note that people are more likely to succeed when they have favorable working conditions and supportive colleagues.
21
A quick tip here is to use favorable when discussing conditions, circumstances, or opportunities that help people succeed.
22
Moving on to ambiguous.
23
This refers to something having more than one possible meaning, making it difficult to understand clearly.
24
In conversation, you might complain that a friend's message was ambiguous, so you weren't sure whether to go out or stay home.
25
During an exam, you could explain that some laws are ambiguous, which can make it difficult for ordinary people to understand their rights and responsibilities.
26
It's a good word for discussing unclear information, instructions, or laws.
27
Word number five is consistent, which means always behaving or performing in a similar way, especially over time.
28
As a daily example, if you want to improve your English, you need to be consistent with your studies.
29
For IELTS speaking, a strong point would be arguing
30
that consistent practice is more effective than studying for several hours only once a week.
31
Lean on this word when talking about habits, effort, or progress.
32
Next, we have authentic, referring to something real, genuine, or true, rather than artificial or copied.
33
For instance, you could talk about visiting a small restaurant that serves authentic Japanese food.
34
For an IELTS topic, you might say you prefer visiting local markets
35
because they offer a more authentic experience of a country's culture.
36
Use authentic when describing food, cultural experiences, or traditions.
37
Here is thoughtful, which means showing that you care about other people's feelings and needs.
38
In your daily life, you might mention it was very thoughtful of someone to bring you a cup of coffee
39
when you were busy.
40
In an exam setting, you could express
41
that thoughtful people tend to build stronger relationships because they pay attention to the feelings of others.
42
It's a useful adjective for describing someone's personality, actions, or decisions.
43
Let's look at beneficial, which means producing a good or helpful result.
44
A simple daily example is how walking in the park every morning is beneficial for your mood.
45
For a more complex IELTS answer, you could point out that learning a foreign language can be beneficial because it improves communication skills and creates more career opportunities.
46
This is a strong word to explain the positive effects of something, making it effective for part three discussions on education, health, and the environment.
47
Word number nine is fascinating, meaning highly interesting and capable of attracting your attention.
48
You might tell a friend about a fascinating documentary you watched about the history of ancient civilizations.
49
In a testing environment, you could say you find artificial intelligence fascinating
50
because it has the potential to change the way people live and work.
51
Use this instead of repeatedly saying very interesting.
52
Halfway there with overwhelmed.
53
This describes the feeling that you have too much to deal with or that something is too difficult to manage.
54
You've probably felt overwhelmed in daily life when you had several assignments to finish at the same time.
55
For an IELTS speaking example, you might observe that many university students feel overwhelmed because they have to balance their academic responsibilities with their personal lives.
56
It's a precise way to describe stress caused by responsibilities or problems.
57
Now, what's interesting about the word procrastinate is that it's an action word, a verb, meaning to delay doing something that you should do,
58
often because you do not want to do it.
59
You might admit to a friend, I tend to procrastinate when I have to do difficult tasks.
60
In an exam response, you could explain that students who procrastinate often struggle to complete their assignments on time, which can negatively affect their academic performance.
61
Use this when discussing time management, study habits, and productivity.
62
Next is rewarding, which means giving you satisfaction or a sense of achievement because something is worthwhile.
63
In a casual chat, you might say, teaching children can be challenging, but you find it very rewarding.
64
For an IELTS setting, you could suggest that although working in healthcare can be stressful, many people find it rewarding because they have the opportunity to help others.
65
This is essential vocabulary when describing jobs, hobbies, or experiences that give you personal satisfaction.
66
Moving on to prioritize.
67
This means to decide which tasks or activities are most important and deal with them first.
68
You likely need to prioritize your homework when you have several assignments due in a week.
69
To impress an examiner, you might argue that people should prioritize their health rather than focusing entirely on their careers.
70
This is useful when discussing time management, responsibilities, and decision -making.
71
Here is reliable, referring to someone or something that can be trusted or depended on.
72
You might mention that your best friend is very reliable because you can always count on her.
73
For a broader IELTS topic, you could point out that public transportation needs to be reliable
74
if governments want more people to use it instead of private cars.
75
It's a versatile word that works well for describing people, services, information, or technology.
76
Next, we have convenient, meaning easy to use or suitable for your needs, especially because it saves time or effort.
77
Think about how online shopping is convenient because you can buy things without leaving home.
78
For an IELTS speaking response, you might point out that although online learning is convenient,
79
some students may find it difficult to stay motivated without face -to -face interaction.
80
This is a great choice when discussing technology, transport, and modern lifestyles.
81
Word 17 is pragmatic, which means dealing with problems in a practical and realistic way, rather than focusing only on theories or ideals.
82
You might take a pragmatic approach in daily life and choose the cheapest way to solve a household problem.
83
In a formal discussion, you could state your belief
84
that governments should take a pragmatic approach to environmental problems by introducing practical solutions that people can follow.
85
Let's look at awareness, which is the knowledge or understanding of a particular subject, issue, or situation.
86
You could mention in passing how social media has increased people's awareness of environmental problems.
87
Or for a deeper IELTS point, you might argue that schools should raise students' awareness of environmental issues
88
because young people play an important role in protecting the planet.
89
Remember to pair it with common verbs like raise awareness or increase awareness.
90
Almost there.
91
Next is confidence, which is the feeling that you can do something successfully or that you can trust your own abilities.
92
A great everyday example is how practicing English every day helps you develop more confidence when speaking.
93
For an exam answer, you might mention how giving students opportunities to speak in public can help them develop confidence
94
and improve their communication skills.
95
It's a core term when talking about education and personal development.
96
Our 19th word is productive, meaning achieving or producing a lot of useful work or results.
97
You might feel more productive when you make a to -do list before starting your day.
98
In an IELTS setting, you could explain
99
that working from home can make people more productive because they have greater flexibility and fewer distractions.
100
Use this to discuss work habits, study routines, and working environments.
101
And our final word is distinct, referring to something clearly different or separate from something else.
102
You could mention two restaurants having distinct styles, even though they serve similar food.
103
For a strong IELTS comparison, you might explain how every region has its own distinct cultural traditions, which contribute to a country's cultural diversity.
104
Use this when comparing cultures, places, or characteristics.
105
Now, let's test your knowledge with a quick quiz.
106
I will read the sentences and leave a space for you to answer.
107

108
Number two, online learning is highly blank for people who live far away.
109

- הצלילים של “th”: authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
