Do you worry that your vocabulary in your IELTS essays isn't good enough?

Bạn có lo lắng rằng vốn từ vựng trong các bài luận IELTS của mình chưa đủ tốt không?

In today's lesson, I'm going to show you some advanced vocabulary

that will help you wow your examiner and get a high score in IELTS writing.

Welcome, my name is Eli and I run the website EnglishProTips .com, where we help students with the IELTS test.

In today's lesson, we're going to learn advanced vocabulary for different essay question types.

Also, stick around until the end because I'm going to be testing you with a short quiz.

The most common IELTS question type gives you a statement and then asks you, to what extent do you agree or disagree?

Here's an example.

Students should have language classes in school.

To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Now, in these agree -disagree questions, instead of repeatedly writing in my opinion throughout your essay,

use I would argue that.

For example, I would argue that languages should be taught in schools, or I would argue that other subjects should be prioritised over language classes.

At EnglishProTips .com, you'll find lots of band 8 slash 9 model essays, and I found that almost all of them used I would argue that.

It's often in either the introduction or conclusion of the essay.

Instead of writing I think or many people think, we can use the word believe.

So, we can say things like many people believe that other subjects should be prioritised in schools.

In fact, we can make this even better by using adverbs before believe, such as strongly or firmly.

So we can say many people strongly believe that other subjects should be prioritised in schools.

Instead of saying because, we can use on the grounds that. For example, I would argue that languages should be taught in schools on the grounds

that they will be very useful for students if they decide to study or work abroad.

Now, on the grounds that is a great phrase because

when you use it in your IELTS essays you're automatically writing a complex sentence

which will get you a higher score for grammatical range

and accuracy instead of saying important you can say of paramount

importance it is of paramount importance to be able to speak a foreign language

if you want to study abroad or it is of paramount importance

that schools prepare students for life after leaving school now paramount is a c2 level word

so by using it in your ielts essays you're showing the examiner

that you can use band 8 slash 9 vocabulary now instead of saying i agree

or i disagree we can make this better by adding an adverb how about i strongly agree

that languages should be taught in schools i completely agree that languages should be taught in schools

I fully agree that languages should be taught in schools, or even I partially agree that languages should be taught in schools,

which means that you partly agree and partly disagree.

If you want more help with your agree -disagree essays, check out my Task 2 writing course.

You'll find a lesson on different structures for your essay.

You'll learn about the basic structure, the 70 -30 structure and the advanced 70 -30 plus rebuttal structure.

By the way, Roy used this structure in his IELTS essay and got band 9 in IELTS writing.

Now, you can start this course for free by going to EnglishProtips .com and registering for a free account.

For advantage -disadvantage essays, the question usually asks, do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

For example, you'll have a statement like, in many countries, parents are deciding to have children later in their lives.

And then you'll have a question like, do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

So what's some vocabulary that we can use with advantage -disadvantage essays?

Well, instead of saying advantages, we could say benefits.

For example, there are many benefits to having children later in life.

How about a synonym for disadvantages?

Well, we can say drawbacks.

For example, however, there are also plenty of drawbacks of having children later in life.

Instead of saying big advantage or disadvantage, We can say significant.

So one of the most significant advantages of having children later in life is

that you have more time to develop your career before starting a family.

Instead of saying understand, you can impress your examiner by using the word acknowledge.

so you can write this advanced sentence while i acknowledge

that there are many drawbacks to having children earlier in life i would argue

that the benefits are more significant finally instead of copying the

word outweigh from the question you can use the word exceed for example

i would argue

that the benefits exceed the drawbacks now in my ielts task

2 writing course you'll find a whole lesson dedicated to advantage disadvantage questions

so check that out

if you want more help with this question type before your

IELTS test double questions are IELTS questions where you get asked

to do two things for example you might get a question

like this many people try to achieve a work -life balance

but very few achieve it what problems stop people from achieving a work -life balance?

How can these problems be overcome?

So in this question, you need to provide at least two problems and at least two solutions.

By the way, if you would like to see a model essay for this question or any other question from this lesson, go to englishprotips .com, register for free,

and then go to model essays.

Here's the model essay.

Now, I would recommend that you read the essay, do the gap fill, keep a record of the useful vocabulary to use in your own practice essays and

if you're feeling motivated read the examiner commentary as well it'll

give you a better understanding of what the examiner is looking for

when they assess your essays let's look at some vocabulary

that would help us talk about problems

and solutions instead of constantly writing problems throughout our essay we can use the synonym issues

so we can say there are a number of issues that prevent us from achieving a healthy work -life balance.

Instead of writing have problems, we can use the collocation face problems.

For example, people face several problems when trying to improve their work -life balance.

Now, we also need some vocabulary for talking about the solutions.

So, instead of writing solve a problem, we can write overcome a problem.

So, we could say these problems can be overcome by improving our time management skills.

Another alternative to solve a problem is to use alleviate an issue.

For example, to alleviate the issue of constantly thinking about work, I would recommend trying mindfulness techniques such as meditation.

Finally, instead of writing recommend again and again, we can use the word advocate.

For example, I would advocate participating in mindfulness techniques such as meditation.

In this lesson we've only covered problem and solution double questions.

If you want to learn more about the other double question essay types, then go to englishprotips .com,

go to my task 2 writing course and go to the lesson on double question essays.

You'll find a video lesson, a PDF, model essays

and quizzes to help you learn more useful vocabulary all right

it's time to test your understanding with a 15 question quiz

have a look at this in my opinion other subjects should

be prioritized instead of language classes now we need to use

a different phrase instead of in my opinion I'm gonna give you four options is it I would argue

that i would to argue that i am argue that

or i would to say that so

which of these four phrases can we use instead of in

my opinion the correct answer is a i would argue that

100

so i would argue

101

that other subjects should be prioritized instead of language classes number two i think

102

that languages should be taught to all age groups at school is it a i'm believing b believe c says

103

or d am argue so

104

which of these phrases can replace the word think in this sentence it is of course b believe i believe

105

that languages should be taught to all age groups at school

106

and remember we can improve this by using an adverb like

107

strongly believe okay number three languages should be taught in schools

108

because they will be very useful for students if they decide to study

109

or work abroad so we need a phrase that replaces the word

110

because is it a as far as b for c on the ground

111

that or d on the grounds that

112

so you can see c has no s d has an s on grounds

113

which is the correct answer it is d on the grounds

114

that so on the grounds that means because

115

and we can use it in our ielts essays number four it is important

116

that language lessons are dynamic and involve a lot of communication.

117

So instead of the word important, could we say of amount important,

118

of paramount important, of paramount importance or of amount importance.

119

The answer is C, so we can say of paramount importance instead of the word important in our IELTS essays.

120

Number five, I agree that languages should be taught in school.

121

So, we need a phrase to replace agree.

122

How about completely agree or complete agree or am completely agree or am complete agreement?

123

The answer is A, I completely agree.

124

So remember, we can use adverbs like completely or fully or partially agree.

125

Number six, there are several advantages of learning languages when you are young.

126

Okay, we need a phrase that we can use as a synonym for advantages.

127

How about beneficiaries?

128

Or maybe it's benefits with two Ns or benefits with an I or benefits with an E.

129

So which is the correct option?

130

It's D, benefits with an E.

131

Be careful of the spelling.

132

Number seven, one disadvantage of teaching language classes is that it takes time away from other subjects.

133

Okay, so which of these is a synonym for disadvantage?

134

We've got backdraw, we've got drawback, draw blank, or defect.

135

The answer is B, drawback.

136

One drawback of teaching language classes.

137

Number eight.

138

A big advantage of speaking a foreign language is that you can travel and meet people from other countries.

139

Okay, which word can replace big?

140

We've got significant, signature, signified, or signalled.

141

The answer is A, significant.

142

So we can talk about a significant advantage or a significant disadvantage.

143

Number nine.

144

While I understand that there are both benefits and drawbacks to teaching language classes, all in all, I would argue that languages should be taught in schools.

145

Okay, so we've got acknowledge, we've got acknowledge, we've got knowledge, and we've got acknowledge with a different spelling.

146

Which is the correct option?

147

The answer is B, acknowledge.

148

This is the correct spelling.

149

Okay, number 10.

150

In conclusion, I would argue that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

151

Now, we need a synonym for the word outweigh.

152

Is it exceed, exceeding explaining or outweights the answer is a exceed

153

so you can say I would argue

154

that the advantages exceed the disadvantages number 11 there are several problems

155

that occur if we don't teach language classes in schools okay

156

so we need a synonym for problem

157

that would fit into this sentence how about hitches or issues

158

or models or mix -ups which would you use in your IELTS essay The answer is B, issues.

159

There are several issues that occur.

160

Number 12.

161

If students don't speak a foreign language, they may have problems when they travel abroad.

162

Okay, so instead of saying have problems, we could potentially use face problems, or be faced problems, or to face problems,

163

or facing problems, which is the correct option.

164

It is of course A, to face problems.

165

Number 13.

166

To solve the problem of not having enough teachers, I would recommend paying teachers a higher salary to attract them.

167

So we've got overcame, come over, overcome, two words, and overcome, one word.

168

So which one of these would replace the word to solve?

169

The answer is D, so to overcome, one word.

170

Number 14, to solve the problem of traffic congestion, I recommend decreasing the prices of public transport so that becomes more popular?

171

Okay, so alleviate the issue, elevate the issue, alleviate the tissue, or elevate the tissue?

172

Which one means solve the problem?

173

The answer is A, alleviate the issue.

174

Finally, number 15, to alleviate the issue of traffic congestion, I recommend decreasing the prices of public transport so that it becomes more popular.

175

Now, we need a word that can replace the C?

176

Advocate or avocado?

177

The answer is C.

178

So, to alleviate the issue of traffic congestion, I advocate decreasing the prices of public transport so that it becomes more popular.

179

Right, I hope this lesson has helped you and I hope

180

that these 15 words and phrases that we've learned in today's lesson will help you in your upcoming IELTS test.

181

Best of luck with all of you're studying and I'll see you in the next lesson.

182

Ngữ pháp trong video

Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:

Cấu trúc	Trong video
Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm	should be taught · should be prioritised · be overcome
Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại	we've only covered · has helped · we've learned

Phát âm cần chú ý

Người nói dùng 32 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ we've, you'll, I'm. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.

Âm “sh” và “zh”: conclusion /kənˈkluːʒən/, tissue /ˈtɪʃ.(j)u/, partially /ˈpɑɹʃəli/, meditation /mɛdɪˈteɪʃn̩/, potentially /pəˈtɛnʃ(ə)li/
Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: disadvantage /ˌdɪsədˈvæntɪd͡ʒ/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, alleviate /əˈli.vi.eɪt/, examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, participate /pɑːˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/

Những âm người Việt thường gặp khó:

Cụm phụ âm cuối — đọc đủ từng âm, đừng nuốt âm cuối: paramount /ˈpæɹəˌmaʊnt/, solve /sɒlv/, bind /ˈbaɪ̯nd/, extent /ɪkˈstɛnt/, involve /ɪnˈvɑlv/
Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: disadvantage /ˌdɪsədˈvæntɪd͡ʒ/, acknowledge /əkˈnɑ.lɪd͡ʒ/, congestion /kənˈd͡ʒɛs.t͡ʃən/, conclusion /kənˈkluːʒən/, signature /ˈsɪɡ.nə.t͡ʃə/
Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: disadvantage /ˌdɪsədˈvæntɪd͡ʒ/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, paramount /ˈpæɹəˌmaʊnt/, examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, advocate /ˈæd.və.kət/

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
