IELTS Vocabulary: How to Learn Words by Topic
A practical method for building IELTS vocabulary by topic, using collocations, synonyms and spaced review so new words stay in memory.
Pick high-frequency topics
Environment, education, technology, health, work and urban life appear again and again. Build a small list for each.
Learn phrases, not single words
Record each word with a collocation and an example sentence. 'Tackle climate change' is more useful than 'tackle' alone.
