1
Do you worry that your vocabulary in your IELTS essays isn't good enough?
2
In today's lesson, I'm going to show you some advanced vocabulary
3
that will help you wow your examiner and get a high score in IELTS writing.
4
Welcome, my name is Eli and I run the website EnglishProTips .com, where we help students with the IELTS test.
5
In today's lesson, we're going to learn advanced vocabulary for different essay question types.
6
Also, stick around until the end because I'm going to be testing you with a short quiz.
7
The most common IELTS question type gives you a statement and then asks you, to what extent do you agree or disagree?
8
Here's an example.
9
Students should have language classes in school.
10
To what extent do you agree or disagree.
11
Now, in these agree -disagree questions, instead of repeatedly writing in my opinion throughout your essay,
12
use I would argue that.
13
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.
14
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.
15
It's often in either the introduction or conclusion of the essay.
16
Instead of writing I think or many people think, we can use the word believe.
17
So, we can say things like many people believe that other subjects should be prioritised in schools.
18
In fact, we can make this even better by using adverbs before believe, such as strongly or firmly.
19
So we can say many people strongly believe that other subjects should be prioritised in schools.
20
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
21
that they will be very useful for students if they decide to study or work abroad.
22
Now, on the grounds that is a great phrase because
23
when you use it in your IELTS essays you're automatically writing a complex sentence
24
which will get you a higher score for grammatical range
25
and accuracy instead of saying important you can say of paramount
26
importance it is of paramount importance to be able to speak a foreign language
27
if you want to study abroad or it is of paramount importance
28
that schools prepare students for life after leaving school now paramount is a c2 level word
29
so by using it in your ielts essays you're showing the examiner
30
that you can use band 8 slash 9 vocabulary now instead of saying i agree
31
or i disagree we can make this better by adding an adverb how about i strongly agree
32
that languages should be taught in schools i completely agree that languages should be taught in schools
33
I fully agree that languages should be taught in schools, or even I partially agree that languages should be taught in schools,
34
which means that you partly agree and partly disagree.
35
If you want more help with your agree -disagree essays, check out my Task 2 writing course.
36
You'll find a lesson on different structures for your essay.
37
You'll learn about the basic structure, the 70 -30 structure and the advanced 70 -30 plus rebuttal structure.
38
By the way, Roy used this structure in his IELTS essay and got band 9 in IELTS writing.
39

40
For advantage -disadvantage essays, the question usually asks, do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
41
For example, you'll have a statement like, in many countries, parents are deciding to have children later in their lives.
42
And then you'll have a question like, do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
43
So what's some vocabulary that we can use with advantage -disadvantage essays?
44
Well, instead of saying advantages, we could say benefits.
45
For example, there are many benefits to having children later in life.
46
How about a synonym for disadvantages?
47
Well, we can say drawbacks.
48
For example, however, there are also plenty of drawbacks of having children later in life.
49
Instead of saying big advantage or disadvantage, We can say significant.
50
So one of the most significant advantages of having children later in life is
51
that you have more time to develop your career before starting a family.
52
Instead of saying understand, you can impress your examiner by using the word acknowledge.
53
so you can write this advanced sentence while i acknowledge
54
that there are many drawbacks to having children earlier in life i would argue
55
that the benefits are more significant finally instead of copying the
56
word outweigh from the question you can use the word exceed for example
57
i would argue
58
that the benefits exceed the drawbacks now in my ielts task
59
2 writing course you'll find a whole lesson dedicated to advantage disadvantage questions
60
so check that out
61
if you want more help with this question type before your
62
IELTS test double questions are IELTS questions where you get asked
63
to do two things for example you might get a question
64
like this many people try to achieve a work -life balance
65
but very few achieve it what problems stop people from achieving a work -life balance?
66
How can these problems be overcome?
67
So in this question, you need to provide at least two problems and at least two solutions.
68
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,
69
and then go to model essays.
70
Here's the model essay.
71
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
72
if you're feeling motivated read the examiner commentary as well it'll
73
give you a better understanding of what the examiner is looking for
74
when they assess your essays let's look at some vocabulary
75
that would help us talk about problems
76
and solutions instead of constantly writing problems throughout our essay we can use the synonym issues
77
so we can say there are a number of issues that prevent us from achieving a healthy work -life balance.
78
Instead of writing have problems, we can use the collocation face problems.
79
For example, people face several problems when trying to improve their work -life balance.
80
Now, we also need some vocabulary for talking about the solutions.
81
So, instead of writing solve a problem, we can write overcome a problem.
82
So, we could say these problems can be overcome by improving our time management skills.
83
Another alternative to solve a problem is to use alleviate an issue.
84
For example, to alleviate the issue of constantly thinking about work, I would recommend trying mindfulness techniques such as meditation.
85
Finally, instead of writing recommend again and again, we can use the word advocate.
86
For example, I would advocate participating in mindfulness techniques such as meditation.
87
In this lesson we've only covered problem and solution double questions.
88
If you want to learn more about the other double question essay types, then go to englishprotips .com,
89
go to my task 2 writing course and go to the lesson on double question essays.
90
You'll find a video lesson, a PDF, model essays
91
and quizzes to help you learn more useful vocabulary all right
92
it's time to test your understanding with a 15 question quiz
93
have a look at this in my opinion other subjects should
94
be prioritized instead of language classes now we need to use
95
a different phrase instead of in my opinion I'm gonna give you four options is it I would argue
96
that i would to argue that i am argue that
97
or i would to say that so
98
which of these four phrases can we use instead of in
99
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

  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, strongly /ˈstɹɔŋli/, partly /ˈpɑɹtli/, partially /ˈpɑɹʃəli/, salary /ˈsæləɹi/

如何用這段影片練習

  1. 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。

  3. 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 essay, argue, lesson 這類單詞。

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
