Vocabulary For IELTS: 100 plus Words with Synonyms

If you are planning to take the IELTS exam, whether academic or general training exam, you require a  good level of vocabulary. Why is it so? Whether it is for IELTS listening,  reading, writing, or speaking, in all four sections you should be able to use a different range of words correctly. You should know their meaning, and antonyms and you should be able to use those words correctly in combination with other words. More than the other 2 sections, both Speaking and Writing tests have 25% marks for Lexical Resource or Vocabulary. Many students are not able to score more than 6 or 6.5 in the IELTS Speaking Writing mainly because of vocabulary. They are unable to use a range of vocabulary for different topics and keep on repeating the same words or using an average level of vocabulary.

Most of the students learn synonyms to enhance their vocabulary but do not use the words correctly. Sometimes, they make too many spelling mistakes. Therefore, you must learn the usage of words in different forms.

In this IELTS exam you can be asked to write or speak on any one of the following topics:

  1. Travel
  2. Restaurant
  3. Hill Station
  4. Books
  5. Buildings
  6. Hobbies
  7. Friends & Family
  8. School and Education
  9. Jobs & Careers
  10. Fashion & Dresses
  11. Shopping
  12. Movies
  13. Art
  14. Accommodation
  15. Fitness & Health

You cannot use the same words to write or talk about any topic. You need to use a range of words to describe. Even in the IELTS Writing task 1 for general writing, you can be asked to write a letter on any such topic. If you have a range of words, you will feel more confident. In the IELTS Writing task 2 essay, you have to write descriptive content in which you have to write on different topics. This is a collection of vocabulary words on different topics.
