1.6.6 What Counts as a Vocabulary Error

There are 4 Types of Errors

  1. You use the wrong word or phrase.
  2. You use an incorrect collocation.
  3. You spell a word incorrectly.
  4. You form a word incorrectly.

How to Improve your Vocabulary

  1. Read as much as you can, read things from different topics, written by different people, from different sources.
  2. Learn vocabulary in phrases, collocations, and sentences. Learning a word in context is always more effective than trying to learn individual words.
  3. Write practice answers and get feedback from a professional teacher. 
  4. Track and review your vocabulary errors. 
  5. You need time - don't waste it memorizing lists of "Essential or Advanced IELTS Vocabulary" as you will not get a higher score using vocabulary that you don't know how to use precisely.
