Performance in communicative tasks
In the Grammar Translation Method GTM, the classroom procedure comprises a presentation of a
grammatical rule, which is followed by a list of vocabulary and, finally,
translation exercises from selected texts. The activities and procedures can be
as follows
To read comprehension questions about the text.
To identify antonyms and synonyms from words in the text.
To learn vocabulary chosen from the reading texts.
To form sentences with the new words.
To recognize and learn cognates and false cognates.
To practice fill-in-the-blank exercises.
To write compositions from a given topic.
The transformation of sentences is a useful skill to
have because it helps altering sentences without changing the meaning of that
sentence.
There are a number of different rules involved in
transformation that are applied to different kinds of sentences.
If you want to change an affirmative assertive sentence
you have to change it into negative interrogative.
If it is in negative then you have to change it into bare
interrogative.
Transformation of interrogative to assertive is to be done
doing the vice versa.
In case of transformation of exclamatory to assertive
sentences, the subject and verb of the exclamatory sentence are to be used as
the subject and verb of assertive sentence at the outset of the sentence.
To change one part of a sentence for another part, the
verb of a sentence itself can be changed into another verb without change in
the meaning of the sentence.
While directly and indirectly quoting someone or to
report something that is being said by someone, we need to keep in mind certain
grammatical changes that we need to follow.
Direct speech refers to quoting the exact words of the
speaker.
Indirect speech refers to the reporting of what a
speaker said without quoting his or her exact words is known as indirect
speech.
If the direct speech contains a universal truth, the
tense of the direct speech remains unchanged even if the reporting verb is in
the past.
If the reporting verb is in the Present or Future tense
(e.g., say, will say) there is no change in the tense of the verb in the
indirect speech.
If reporting verb is in the Past Tense, the tense of
the verbs in the reported speech or indirect speech must be generally changed.
An assertive statement or a statement is a sentence
that states a fact.
An interrogative sentence is a sentence which asks a
question.
An imperative sentence is a sentence that gives advice
or instructions or that expresses a request or command.
An exclamatory sentence is a type of sentence that
expresses strong feelings by making an exclamation.
The Active voice is the voice that is used most of the
time. Most of the sentences we speak or write are in Active voice.
Although most sentences are spoken or written in Active
voice, there are some cases where we need to use the Passive voice.
We use the Passive voice when we want to make the object
more important than the subject,
or when we want to emphasize an action rather than its
doer.
The Passive voice is also used when we do not know the
subject, or it is not important to mention the subject.
In interrogative sentences, remember that although most
such sentences can be converted from Active to Passive voice, it is better to
use the Active voice as that always sounds better.
When a sentence is converted from Active to Passive
voice in the simple present tense, the structure of the verb changes from
simple present form of the verb to is / are + simple past form of the verb.
When a sentence is converted from Active to Passive
voice in the simple past tense, the structure of the verb changes from simple
past form of the verb to was / were + past perfect of the verb.
When a sentence is converted from Active to Passive
voice in the present continuous tense, the structure of the verb changes from
is / are + ‘ing’ form
of the verb to is / are + being + past perfect of the
verb.
When a sentence is converted from Active to Passive
voice in the past continuous tense, the structure of the verb changes from was
/ were + ‘ing’ form of the verb to was / were + being + past perfect of the
verb.
When a sentence is converted from Active to Passive
voice in the simple future tense, the structure of the verb changes from will /
shall + simple future tense of the verb to will / shall + be + past perfect of
the verb.
When a sentence is converted from Active to Passive
voice in the future continuous tense, the structure of the verb changes from
will / shall + be + ‘ing’ form of the verb to will / shall + be + past perfect
of the verb.
Sometimes, a statement in the Passive voice is
grammatically correct, but it sounds rather odd. In such cases, it is better to
use the Active voice only.
An imperative sentence does not usually possess a
subject. It is used to express a command or request.
When the imperative sentence in the passive voice, it
takes the form of let + object + be + past participle.
When the active
voice is in the negative, the passive voice takes the form of let not + object
+ be + past participle.
Sometimes we want to begin the imperative sentence with
you so that the emphasis is on the person addressed.
In imperative sentences, the passive form has to begin
with you, when the object of the verb in the active voice is not given.
She exclaimed sorrowfully
that she had misplaced her mother’s necklace.

The
Lying Tongue —

The
Flattering Tongue —
exaggerating the good qualities of others in order to ingratiate ourselves to
them, a form of lying
The
Proud Tongue —
There is a saying that a proud tongue comes with two closed ears. The proud
tongue is boastful and overly certain of what it says. Those of proud tongue
are not easily corrected and do not qualify or distinguish their remarks as
they should.
The
Overused Tongue —
saying far too much, especially concerning things about which we know little
The
Swift Tongue —
speaking before we should, before we even have all of the information
The
Backbiting Tongue —
talking about others behind their backs, the secretive injuring of a person’s

The
Silent Tongue —
not speaking up when we ought to warn people of sin, call them to the Kingdom,
and announce the Truth of Jesus Christ. In our age, the triumph of evil and bad
behavior has been assisted by our silence as a Christian people. Prophets are
to speak God’s Word.

Inclination
(N)
Preference or tendency
Inclination is a
noun that refers to a preference or tendency, or a feeling that makes a person
want to do something. It can also refer to the fact that you prefer or are more
likely to do a particular thing.
For example,
Tony has a strong inclination toward the arts.
If you were in a
situation where you needed to make a decision, your inclination would be to
choose the option that you prefer.
Indignation
anger
aroused by something unjust, unworthy, or mean
Today the term
parchment is often used in nontechnical contexts to refer to any animal skin,
particularly goat, sheep or cow, that has been scraped or dried under tension.
The term originally referred only to the skin of sheep and, occasionally,
goats. The equivalent material made from calfskin, which was of finer quality,
was known as vellum.
Bailable
and Nonbailable Offenses
Bailable Offense
Bailable offenses are less severe offenses. These offenses are mostly those
that are punishable with imprisonment for less than three years or with only a
fine. Example A wrongful restraint offense is subject to bail under Section of
the IPC.
NonBailable
Offense Nonbailable offenses are offenses where an accused does not have the
right to exempt himself from bail. These are offenses punishable by death and
rigorous imprisonment for more than seven years. Example The IPC's Section addresses the crime of murder. Because murder
is a serious felony that includes the deliberate killing of a person, it is not
subject to bail.
Cognizable
and NonCognizable Offenses
Cognizable
Offense As per the CrPC, a cognizable offense is an offense in which the police
officer can arrest the convict without a warrant and can initiate an
investigation without the intervention of the court. Cognizable offenses are
generally heinous in nature and carry severe punishments under the Indian penal
code. Example Assault causing grievous harm If someone physically assaults
another person and leaves them with serious wounds, this might be regarded as a
cognizable offense.
NonCognizable
Offense Noncognizable offenses are those where the police administration does
not have the unfettered authority to arrest without a warrant. These offenses
are petty and menial and do not entail stringent punishments under the law.
Example Criminal defamation Defamation is frequently a noncognizable offense,
which prevents police from arresting without a warrant.
Compoundable
and NonCompoundable Offenses
Compoundable
offenses Compoundable offenses are those where the aggrieved party can
undertake to withdraw proceedings against the accused in exchange for some form
of consideration, thereby settling. Section
of the CrPC classifies compoundable offenses into two subclasses, namely
a. Compoundable
cases which compounded without the intervention of a court; and
b. Compoundable
cases that can only be settled with the authorization of a court of law
If the parties
agree to settle the matter and reach a settlement, the court of law will record
such a settlement and dispose of the proceedings. Example Section of the IPC, which deals with
"voluntarily causing hurt," is a compoundable offense.
Noncompoundable
Offences
These offenses
cannot be settled by agreement between the parties to the crime. Section of the CrPC also provides the offenses that
do not fall under the category of noncompoundable offenses. These offenses are
often severe and against public policy. Example Section of the IPC, which deals with
"murder," is a noncompoundable offense.
Offenses Against
the Human Body
Culpable
Homicide This
section addresses the crime of intentionally causing another person's death. It

the link in the
description thanks very much and let's get back to the video the next word is
officials and this means
officials
people in
Authority or people in the government normally synonyms of this are
authorities
leaders or administrators and this is a nine common call locations
are government
officials or public officials these are people working in
the government
in our essay they wrote in conclusion I do not support the argument of new
newspapers publishing
the information
of government officials so as two essays will often talk about the government
and government policy .
so it's a very
useful word to have the next word is output and this means the amount output
produced of
something synonyms of this word are production or yield and this is a noun
common collocations are industrialoutput or totaloutput.
sometimes you
will be asked to write about companies companies d dominate our lives similarly
to the last one where
we're talking
about governments and companies dominate our lives and have a huge impact on
our
lives therefore
you will often be asked to write about those things or write about examples of
those things in your task two essays an example sentence the Factor's output
has increased this year and from our essays the main benefits of wearing a
uniform are that it brings uniformity to the workplace and helps to increase
the output of companies and you could also change that to a company's output or
a Factor's output
the next
intellect
word is intellect which means the ability to think and
understand and notice.
I didn't say memorize memorize isn't really
thinking so don't think
that you can
memorize all of these words and magically improve your intellect
more on that at
the end of the video synonym of this is intelligence and this
is a nine common
collocations are his intellect or her intellect or maybe a
child's
intellect an example sentence is her sharp intellect makes her a great
scientist and
from her essays educational programs on television can
help a child's
intellect often you will get questions about education especially
about children

improve their
intell the next word is incentives which means things that encourage you to do
something for
incentives
do something you
can beat it with a stick or you can provide an incentive a
carrot to make
it go forward an example sentence are the comp offers Financial
incentives to
its best workers and in our essays many younger people find
voting a waste
of time and therefore if they are given incentives they are more
likely to take
the time to vote our next word is irrespective this means without
irrespective
considering
something synonyms are regardless and despite and this is an
adverb the most
common collocation is irrespective of and then after of will
be the thing
that you are ignoring or you're disregarding for example irrespective of the
outcome we must try
our best and in
our essays I believe that adult life brings more joy because of Life
fulfillment irrespective of more
responsibilities
so this is very useful when you are balancing two views or
considering two
views often you will get questions that ask you to discuss both
views so this is
very useful in your conclusion when you're giving your opinion so you're saying
I believe this
thing
irrespective of the other side the next word is fundamental no it's
fundamental
actually
fundamental and this means important synonyms of this word are
important
essential or primary and this is an adjective common collocations are
fundamental
principle and fundamental change for example learning to read is a
fundamental
skill for children and from our essays it is the fundamental right
of every human
being to have their privacy so this is a great way in your essays to convey to
The Examiner that
this thing that
you're talking about is very very important you're ranking this as the most
important thing at the very
very top so we
could talk about the fundamental change that needs to happen the fundamental
reason the fundamental
right the
fundamental whatever you are talking about the thank thank you for making it

which means to make
disclose
something known
synonyms are reveal show and tell this is a verb and the most
common
collocation is to disclose information for example the company must disclose
any risk to its investors and
from our essays
on the other hand publishing details of Private Affairs discloses the
corruption of politicians
and make them
accountable so again you'll often be writing about the
government what
is the government full of in most countries corrupt politicians
so it's very
easy to talk about disclosing them the next word is detrimental and it means to
cause harm
detrimental
or damage
synonyms are harmful damaging or just bad this is an adjective and the
most common
collocation is detrimental effect for example smoking has a
detrimental
effect on health I looked through the essays and the students did
use this a lot
but not many of them used it the most common way which is a
detrimental
effect on health for example or a detrial effect on the environment
Health the
environment or just talking about had effects on many different
things you'll
often write about those in your essays so think about having that
in your essay
when you're talking about negative or bad things the next word is adolesence
and these are young people
adolescence
normally between
the ages of and but it differs from person to person and
a synonym of
this word is teenager this is a noun and you have to be very very careful with
this word most students use
this because
often you will be asked to write about children so what they do is
they take the
word children and just use that as a synonym by inserting
adolescence now
my two little boys one is three and the other is nine they are
children but
they are not adolescence so you must only use this word if you are
writing about
teenagers going through that stage of life which is puberty for
example
adolescents often experience many changes in their lives and there aren't that
many common collocations so
I haven't added
any and from our essays although adolescence are free of responsibilities
adults enjoy their life more because they are free to make their own choices so
I think this is a really really good word to think about because
you're not just
going to memorize these words and insert them randomly into your essays but
what you're also not going to do is take words that are similar so
they're synonyms
and just replace those words like children adolescence think
about the
specific meaning of each of these words and think about can you actually use
them accurately and appropriately in your essays we're not telling you just to
memorize these words
and vomit them
onto the page the next word is accountable and this means accountable responsible for your action’s synonyms are
responsible answerable and liable
this is an
adjective and the most common collocation are accountable to something so to
people or to a government or a body unaccountable for something if you're
accountable for something it's normally your actions for example managers
should be held accountable for their decisions from our essay this essay
strongly disagrees with this view because politicians build Public Image
through such
news and they could be held accountable for any wrongdoings I think
think the
student meant to write should be held accountable again you'll often be asked
to write about people in Authority people like government officials, politician’s
teachers or just everybody in general we are all accountable for things that we
do and we're normally accountable to people above us or people around us the
next word is addressed and this means to fix an issue or fix a problem synonyms
are addressed tackled deal with handled fixed and this is a verb the most
common collocations are address a problem or the problem or address an issue or
the issue
for example the teacher
addressed the issue of bullying in the classroom in that example
we didn't fix
the issue it's not the teacher completely resolving the issue of bullying this
means to bring it up to address it to talk about it in the classroom.
so just be
careful with that slight difference in meaning in our essay the student said
however this can
easily be
addressed by making people aware and also by making new laws so they've used it
to say addressed fixed so you might use this for example in problem solution
essays addressing problems in your Solutions part of your essay but it can also
be used very
flexibly and
interchangeably with many different ways of writing essays the
affluence next
word is prosperous and this is an adjective the most common collocations are an
affluent society or an affluent country but you can also apply this to people
in our essays our student wrote In addition not only does a country become more
powerful economically but also many residents have an opportunity to become
affluent so it is a common essay topic to write about money and people becoming
more successful you'll have a lot of people furiously typing success and money
are not the same thing
it's not
politics class or just trying to help you get a higher score so you can become
more affluent and more successful in your new country that's why you're doing
the I test right the next word is allocate which means to allocate
distribute
resources or duties common synonyms are assign distribute and a lot
this is a verb
and the most common cocation is to allocate resources for example the manager
will allocate
resources for
the new project and in our essays investment banks in Sweden showed
a significant
increase after they decided to allocate at least % of
their leading
positions to women the next one is a very useful word which is awareness which
means knowledge about awareness
something
synonyms are knowledge or understanding this is a n and common
call locations
are to raise awareness but for I essays we often talk about
awareness
campaign aigns which are campaigns by the government to make people aware of a
certain topic for example we need to raise awareness about the dangers of
smoking and in our essays
however
encouraging youth participation in politics and awareness campaigns can be
possible solutions to tackle these problems so these are very useful when
talking about solutions to problems
often the best
solution will be some kind of awareness campaign think about campaigns with
within your own country for smoking or drunk driving or wear
bullying
seat bels the
next word is bullying which means repeated aggressive behavior
intended to hurt
someone synonyms are harassment intimidation and abuse this
is a nine but it
can also be used as a verb to bully someone common collocations are school
bullying and
very frequently
these days cyber bullying which means to bully someone
online normally
through social media for example school bullying can seriously affect a child's
selfesteem and from
our essays the
main reason behind this is the increase of cyber bullying and hate crimes the
next word is burden
burden
which means a
heavy load or a heavy responsibility synonyms are load or responsibility and
this is a nine the
most common
collocations are heavy burden and financial burden for example
the financial
burden of college can be overwhelming for some students and from our essays
this is because they cannot
cope with the
financial burden of buying new clothes from stores such as Prada or Gucci money
makes the world go around
and a lot of
task two essays will involve you talking about money
Financial
burdens but doesn't have to be about money you could also talk about the burden
of being a father or a mother
for example or
the burden of being a husband or wife but burden is often
referred to
negatively so don't tell my wife that I said that the next word is capabilities
which means the ability to
capabilities
do something
synonyms are abilities skills or talents this is a n and common
collocations are
their capabilities or its capabilities so you're talking about the ability of a
person to do something
or a thing to do
something for example the company's technological capabilities
are impressive
and from our essays in conclusion many athletes nowadays use illegal substances
to win the
competition and
exceed their physical capabilities so common topics are
technology and
health you could easily use capabilities to talk about company's
abilities or
software's abilities or AI abilities but you could also use the
word
capabilities to talk about someone's physical health and their capabilities or
you could use it for
education to
talk about the capabilities of students or maybe even teachers we have
abilities to next is a very
frequently
common word
commonly which means frequently or usually synonyms are often
usually and
regularly this is an adverb common collocations are commonly used
for example this
word is commonly used in academic writing and from our essays
for instance it
can be commonly seen in many schools the teachers introduce TVs
in their
lectures to help students understand complicated and difficult subjects so if
you're talking about time
and how often
something happens use that word next is consumption the act of
consumption
using something
synonyms are use and usage and this is a noun common
collocations are
energy consumption human consumption when we eat things or
when we use
things and consumption of for example reducing energy consumption
can help protect
the environment the environment and global warming and new
technologies for
producing energy you will often use this word in these
collocations and
from our essays one student wrote this is because animals are reproduced kept
in small and
uncomfortable
places and then killed and sold to supermarkets and butchers for
human
consumption so if anyone or anything is using something within your
essays you could
look through it and think how could I use the word consumption the next word is
competence
competence
and this is the
ability to do something well not the ability just to do something but to do
something well
synonyms are
ability skill and proficiency this is a nine and common
collocations are
professional competence and competence in something for example
her professional
competence was evident in her excellent work and one student
wrote by
allocating a certain percent of high level positions to women companies
would reach a
higher competence level so often you'll be writing about maybe
disadvantaged
groups of people for example in this one women and you're writing about their
confidence in things
next is a word
many of you already know I'm sure which is corruption this means dishonest or
illegal Behavior by those
corruption
in power so
think about a politician maybe from your local area or your
country that
dishonestly uses money synonyms of this word are dishonesty fraud and bribery
this is a known and
the most common
collocation is political corruption for example the investigation
revealed
widespread political corruption and our student wrote for example when
details of the
lavish spending of the mayor of London while on a vacation were
revealed in the
sun it promoted questions from many sections of the society eventually exposing
his
corruption with
the public money yes I know that student made a few small
grammatical
errors don't go crazy it's not the student's fault maybe that student had a
little bit of corruption
in their school
when they were growing up and they didn't get the attention that you got from
your very honest
teachers and
politicians the next one is a two for one these are both highlevel
words that mean
the same thing downsides and drawbacks these both mean the
downsides
negative aspects
of something synonyms are disadvantages negatives these are
both nouns and
it won't be a surprise that students use these as synonyms when
they are talking
about advantages disadvantages essays the most common cocation for downsides
are potential
downsides so
you're talking about something that might be a downside and the most common
collocation for
drawbacks are
major drawbacks for example the potential downsides of the
new policy
include increased costs and from our essays one of the major drawbacks of this
method is its high
cost another
little trick there if you get an advantages or disadvantages essay very often
an easy disadvantage is to
talk about high
cost not always but does help to have that in your toolkit and the next word is
similar but different
deficiency
and that is
deficiency now this isn't really a disadvantage this is a lack of
something so
there is a little bit of it already but there is a lack of it synonyms are a
lack a shortage or an
insufficiency
this is a noun and a common collocation is a vitamin
deficiency or
deficiency in so you might not have a vitamin deficiency but you
might have a
deficiency in something else so you have a deficiency in whatever you have a
deficiency of for
example a
vitamin deficiency can cause health problems and from our essays the main
disadvantage of the vegetarian diet
is that without
meat people may have a protein deficiency obviously this can be
used for many
different topics but health is one of the main ones the next
embrace
one is Embrace
which means to accept something with enthusiasm synonyms are
accept welcome
and adopt this is a verb and the most common collocation for our
purposes is to
embrace change life is basically the story of change when
you're writing
you're going to be writing about life so it's very easy to use this collocation
for example we need
to embrace
change to stay competitive and from our essays there are two main
benefits of
traveling such as people can gain knowledge and embrace other cultures so not
just embracing change
but embracing
new things which is another way of saying change the next one will definitely
enhance your writing
score which is
enhance this means to improve something synonyms are improve
enhance
boost increase
this is a verb and common cations are to enhance performance but
you can
substitute a performance for something else or enhanced with a d on
the End by
enhanced by for example the new software will enhance our
performance and
one of our students wrote for instance many psychologists suggest to students
who are struggling
with social
anxiety to take drama lessons as it helps to enhance
confidence so
enhance performance enhance confidence next is a very very popular one
emissions which means gases
emissions
or substances
sent out into the air most commonly for our purposes carbon dioxide
emissions
synonym of this is output and this is a noun common collocations are
carbon
emissions or
carbon dioxide emissions and reduce emissions
for
example reducing
carbon emiss missions is vital to combat climate change and from our essays the
main advantage of
having a vegetarian diet is that carbon emissions can be
reduced for bonus
points take that
sentence how would you improve the vocabulary of that sentence
using the words
we've already talked about in this video put it in the comments the next one is
establishments
establishments
and this is a
business or an organization synonyms are institutions
organizations
and firms terms this is a n and the most common cocation especially for our
purposes writing task
two essays
educational establishments so it should come as no surprise that when
you are asked
about education you are going to be writing about schools you're
going to be
writing about universities so you can use educational establishments instead of
school as a
synonym for
example universities are important educational establishments I
looked at our
students essays and they're using them either incorrectly or using it in a
completely different
context and I
don't want to confuse anyone so I'm not going to show you those the next word
is expenditure which
expenditure
means money
spent on something synonyms are spending costs or outlay this is a
noun and is
often Associated for TAS two writing with government expenditure or
public
expenditure public expenditure is just another way of saying government
expenditure
because govern governments use our public money for example
government
expenditure on Health Care is increasing but you don't have to just
use it for
government or public expenditure you could talk about company expenditure but I
wouldn't use it for
individuals
spending money on things it's a little bit inappropriate in that context so
what our student did was they
said however the
increase in expenditure of organizations and monotony among employees are the
main drawbacks of
compulsory
uniforms so they're talking about corporations companies spending money on
uniforms how exciting now
you'll certainly
exceed your required band score with this next one exceed this means to go
beyond a limit or a
exceed
standard or a
number synonyms are surpass go beyond or I do it is a verb
and the common
collocations are exceed expectations or exceed a number for
example the team
managed to exceed expectations this quarter and essays in
conclusion many
athletes nowadays use illegal substances to win the competition and exceed
their physical
capabilities the
next one I'll just go quickly through it because it's very similar to another
word that we used
harassment which
is a synonym of a word we already mentioned which is bullying this means
aggressive pressure or
intimidation
synonyms
are bullying intimidation or abuse it is a NN and
common
collocations are workplace harassment and sexual harassment so
bullying is
normally associated with school whereas harassment is normally
more associated
with the workplace and Society in general although bullying can
occur anywhere
for example the company has policies to prevent workplace harassment and in our
essays for
instance in many supporters of Donald Trump lost their
trust in him after newspapers uncovered the story of
the sexual
harassment allegations against him just be very careful with this word because
often I hear I
students talking
about harassment in terms of things that are difficult um so
I have act real
emails from students talking about the IELTS test harassing
them or us
harassing them because we've given them low scores because they're
not very good at
writing that's not harassment that's just your life is difficult because you're
not very good
at something
normally because you're lazy and the next one is more a linking word which
doesn't come under your
vocabulary score
it comes under your cohesion and coherence score but I'll
mention it
because it is a useful word to know and it could help you improve
your coherence
and cohesion score and that word is hence and it basically means for this
reason or therefore
hence
synonyms are
therefore thus and so we would use so more in informal speaking
than and
academic writing this is an adverb and a common collocation is hence
the need or
hence the need for for example the project is behind schedule hence the need
for extra workers and you
can also use it
at the beginning of a sentence instead of therefore just like our student did
hence the more sports
facilities will
be available to the public the more people could do Sports and thus stay
healthy so they've used
two different
synonyms of therefore hence and thus within the same sentence but remember the
most important thing
for linking
words is not that you show a wide variety of them it's that they are
accurate and
appropriate so if you're unsure about linking words don't memorize of them and
just shove them
into your essay
and hope for the best it's better to repeat a simple word that is correct than
change it to something
informative
that is wrong
and the next word is informative and this means to provide useful information
synonyms are satirised
The
book satirised the political ideology, the difference between the Whigs and the
Tories and the petty religious matters.

educational
enlightening and instructive this are an adjective and is normally
used within
educational contexts to describe programs or courses or TV shows
or documentaries
things like that so an example sentence would be the lecture was very
informative and helped me
understand the
topic better from our essays kids who watch informative and educational shows
learn to solve
problems and
develop strong mental math skills the next word is infrastructure
infrastructure
this means the
basic systems and structures needed for a society or organization a synonym of
this word is a
system and this
is a noun common collocations are transport infrastructure and infrastructure
projects an
example sentence is good transport infrastructure is essential for economic
growth and from our essays
in conclusion
the advantages of the prioritizing economic growth above of all other concerns
are improved quality
of life of
people and good infrastructure the next word is insights
insights
this means the
understanding or knowledge about something synonyms are understandings
perceptions and intuition
this is a n and
common collocations are valuable insights and provide insights
into for example
the survey provided valuable insights into customer
preferences and
from our essays lessons at school can provide children with valuable insights
into being good
members of
society the next word is insufficient which means not enough
insufficient
often related to
money or resources synonyms are inadequate lacking and
deficient
this
is an adjective and the most common collocation is insufficient funds or
insufficient resources for
example the
project was cancelled due to insufficient funds and from our essays the main
downsides are higher cost of
living for most
and insufficient support for the poorest the next word is innate
and this means
existing from birth or is natural for example the ability to
breathe is
innate synonyms are inborn inherent and natural this is an
adjective and
the most common collocation are innate (inborn) ability
for example she has an innate ability to
learn languages
quickly and from her essays a person can only reach the highest level in the
profession if they
combine their
innate ability with hard work often you will get questions that will ask things
like does hard work lead
to success or is
it only people who are born with certain talents that are
successful so
you can use this word innate the next word is inappropriate no it is actually
inappropriate and this
inappropriate
means not
suitable or proper it's just a very formal way of saying something
is bad or not
right synonyms are unsuitable improper and unfit this is an
adjective and
the most common collocation is inappropriate behaviour
this is often
used to describe someone doing something their behaviour is bad
inappropriate
for example his inappropriate behaviour at the meeting was not acceptable and
from our essays
on the other hand,
employees who always wear uniforms might end up wearing inappropriate rate
clothes for their work
Merit
the next high
Lev word is Merit and this means the quality of being good or
worthy synonyms
include worth value and Excellence this is a nine and common
collocations are
academic Merit or on Merit a good way to remember this word
is not what the
word means it's what it doesn't mean the opposite of that word I'm sure you
know someone who got a job
or a position in
a company because they are the idiot nephew or the daughter of
the owner of the
company that is not based on Merit that is based on who they
are an example
sentence is scholarships are often given based on academic Merit
so you deserve
to get a scholarship because of how smart you are and in our
essays this
essay completely disagrees with the statement because selecting employees
should be based on Merit their
worth their
value how good they are at the job so it can be used in the academic context
but it can also be used
in a more formal
professional context as well the next word is one of my favorite
mediocre
words in the
whole world it is mediocre and this means not very good pretty
average synonyms
include average ordinary and so so if you want to talk
about it
informally this is an adjective and there aren't many common collocations for
this but a good way to
remember it is
it's one of the most horrible things that you could ever say to anyone I'm a
very popular person on
YouTube so I get
horrible things said to me every day in the comments if somebody
says that I'm
terrible or useless or the worst teacher that has ever existed on
the internet I
don't really worry if somebody says that but if somebody calls me
mediocre like
that's horrible to say that to someone you're the same as everyone else an
example sentence is his
performance was
mediocre not meeting expectations and from our essays for example the world is
filled with many
Star athletes
who started off as mediocre in the beginning but they Challenge and push
themselves to their
limit which
ultimately helped them to attain the greatest version of
themselves so if
you want to really really annoy me and upset me just write this video as
mediocre in the comments
the next one is
the opposite of mediocre it is notable and this means worthy of
notable
attention or
important synonyms are remarkable significant or noteworthy
this is an
adjective and common collocations are a notable achievement if you're talking
about some achievement
that somebody
has made or some kind of scientific discovery or technological advancement a
notable exception so if
you're talking
about I believe this this this this and then you want to talk about a
counterargument or another side
to the point
that you're making you could say a notable exception is and a notable example
so you're going to be
giving at least
two examples in your essays so you could write a notable
example here's
an example sentence her notable achievements in science earned her several
Awards and in our essay in
conclusion
although wellknown individuals earn big amounts of money from sponsors notable
people's lives
will be in
danger because evilminded people will harm them next one is a very useful word
numerous which means many in numerous
number synonyms
include many several various and this is an adjective common
collocations are
numerous times for example she has traveled to Paris
numerous times
and in our essay the majority of the chief positions in business organizations
are occupied by
males despite
the fact that more than half of the workforce in numerous developed Nations is
made up of women so
when you are
using this you might use it in your explanations or your examples
when you're
explaining something you can say that this has happened numerous times or there
are numerous examples of
this happening
you don't have to do that for every essay just have it in your toolkit the next
word is peers peers are
peers
people of the
same age so for example my son's peers are yearolds or people
that normally do
the same job and are at the same level they have the same status synonyms
include equals colleagues and
contemporaries this is a nine
and common collocations are peer pressure and their
peers so we will
often use this word when we are comparing people within the
same group
together for example adolescents often face peer pressure from their peers to
conform to group
norms and in her
essay for instance several Studies have shown that kids are more likely to
outperform their peers on
tests when they
watch educational shows very very useful for comparing for
explaining for
giving examples the next word is extremely useful because it can be used to
describe pretty much anything
and can be used
as a synonym for so many different things and it is one of the
most mispronounced words in the English language let's see
how I do with it phenomenon this means something that
phenomenon
happens or
exists especially something unusual or interesting synonyms include
event occurrence
and happening this is a nine and common collocations are n
natural
phenomenon you could use natural phenomenon to describe global warming
for example or a
social phenomenon so something that people have started to do
or you go to a
new country and you're like oh that's an interesting social phenomenon a thing
that is happening
that I've never
noticed before for example I recently traveled to a country where every
restaurant you go to uh
parents would
give their children iPads and phones and allow them to to play
music and games
at full blast it's like that's an interesting phenomenon it also
allows you to be
diplomatic and polite so an example sentence the northern lights are a natural
phenomenon that
attracts many
visitors it is a thing in the sky that is natural a natural
phenomenon
in
our essays this phenomenon may result in younger people being
apathetic
towards politics and election results that do not reflect public opinion so you
could use this in your
introduction you
could use this in topic sentences you could use this in explanations and you
could use this in
your conclusion
if you are really stuck for a synonym maybe you have repeated the word a few
times and you're like how
do I change this
you could say this phenomenon but make sure it is a phenomenon the next word is
proportion
proportion
which means a
part of a whole or a percentage so if you're talking about a percentage of
something you could use
proportion
synonyms are part portion or fraction and this is a Nar and common
qualifcations
are large proportion or small proportion for example a large proportion of the
population supports
the new law and
from our essays some believe that a certain proportion of these vacancies
should be allocated to
females this is
also very useful for task one academic if you're doing the academic module the
next word is revenue
revenue
and this means
income from business or government activities in the form of tax that's how
governments make money
synonyms are
Income earnings and profits although be very careful because revenue
and profits are
two very very different things if youve ever run a business you should know
that word type is a nine and
common
collocations are annual revenue revenue from so revenue from taxes
revenue from I
VIP courses if we're lucky and tax revenue example sentence
the company's
annual revenue has grown steadily and from our essay this is because with
economic progress States
generate lots of
Revenue which can be used to provide high quality services such as free
education so often you will
get questions
asking about government services education is often a government
service
depending on which country you live in health is sometimes a government service
not if you live in America but a
lot of questions
can be boiled down to should the government provide this
service or is
the government providing a good enough service and you can talk about Revenue
coming in from different
things and high
revenue is being spent the next word is resent and this means to feel angry or
bitter about something
resent
synonyms are begrudged disliked or be annoyed by this is a verb and
common
collocations are
resent the implication or resent the fact for example he began
to resent the
implication that he was not working hard enough and from our essay parents
should encourage their
children to stay
at home more rather than force them so that their children will not resent them
so it's a very easy
way to talk
about things that people dislike for example I really resent the
fact that I
picked so many of these words and I didn't think it was going to take this long
to make this video the
sector
next word is
sector which means parts or divisions of a larger group or area
synonyms are
divisions segments or areas this is a nine and common collocations
are the public
sector the public sector means work in the government the private sector those
people who actually do all
the work means
that you work not for the government for real businesses and then we have the
voluntary sector people who
volunteer their
time they don't work for the government they don't work for real businesses
they work for Charities for
example the
public sector employs many people in healthc care and education and from her
essays others think that they
have to only
study something useful for their future for example those related to science
and Technology sectors the
workforce
next word is
Workforce and this means all the people who work in a company or
country synonyms
are staff employees and labor force this is a n and a common
cocation is a

company success
and from our essay one benefit of multinational companies is that they employ a
large Workforce the
gifted
next word is
gifted and this means having a special talent or ability
synonyms are
talented skilled and exceptional this is an adjective and the
common
collocation is a gifted child or gifted children you will often use this
when talking
about education not every essay about education but if you are
talking about
exceptional gifted children you can use this word for example the school has
programs for
gifted children
in the Arts and Sciences and from our essay children who are gifted with a
particular born Talent
often achieve
their goal early in their lives you could also use one of the other highlevel
words we mentioned in
this video
innate to talk about people who are born with a particular gift the
nutritional
next word is
nutritional which means relating to the nutrients in food
synonyms are
dietary nutritious and nourishing this is an adjective and
common
collocations are nutritional value and nutritional deficiencies for example it
is important to consider
the nutritional
value of your diet and from our essays one disadvantage is that
vegetarian diets
may cause nutritional deficiencies one of the most common task
two topics is
health and it is very easy to connect Health with our nutrition our
eating habits so
very important word to know the next word is Thrive which means to grow or
develop well synonyms include
Thrive
flourish prosper
and succeed this is is a verb and a common collocation for this
word is to
thrive in for example children thrive in a loving and
supporting
environment and from our essays for this reason I believe that some inborn
qualities play a crucial
part for people
to thrive in some areas like music or Sports so if you think
about the area
or the context that that person or that thing is thriving in is
succeeding in is
prospering in then you can use thriv in that area and it's not
just people
companies can Thrive animals can Thrive lots of different things can
Thrive the next
word you might not think is a highle word and it is unsafe you
Safe
might think that
this is a lowlevel word because you know it you know how to use it and it is
quite a short common
word but if you
go to Cambridge dictionary. org online pop in on safe
you'll see that
this is a C word that's a very very useful point to make because
many of you
think that highlevel words are these big unknowable unusable words
that you've
never heard before that's often not the case often you know way more C and C
words than you realize
Dangerous
this word means
not safe or dangerous synonyms include dangerous risky or hazardous this is an
adjective and a
very common
collocation are unsafe conditions for example the building was
evacuated
due
to unsafe conditions and from our essay the second reason behind
the negativity
of being a star is that it creates an unsafe environment that may endanger the
star's mental health so
unsafe
conditions unsafe environment when you're talking about dangerous things often
that will come up in task
two and a very
very appropriate word for our last word unwind cuz I'm definitely
going to have to
unwind after reading out so many of these words and this
Unwind
means to relax
after work or some kind of tension synonyms include relax rest

The main difference between cosmopolitan and metropolitan is
that cosmopolitan refers to a city hosting people from many different
countries, whereas metropolitan refers to a densely populated urban core.
Cosmopolitan and
metropolitan are two adjectives we use to describe cities. Although these two
words are somewhat similar, there is a difference between cosmopolitan and
metropolitan. However, a city can be both cosmopolitan and metropolitan at the
same time.
CITY
LIFE
Most people in
developed countries are (a)citydwellers, many
drawn by the (b) _. irresistible lure
of the (c) metropolis.
The attractions
of the city are many the (d)cosmopolitan
atmosphere
(foreign
restaurants, different languages, international companies), the (e) stimulation
of cultural
events or the simple hope of finding work.
All too many
find, however, that the glamorous facade is false.
One can be very alone in the city and the (f) anonymity which at first seems to give freedom and
protection later leaves just loneliness.
There is a lot
to do but everything is expensive.
The (g)cost of living is high
There is (h) pollution not only of the physical but also of the
moral environment and
the various
pressures of (i)urban life cause cities (j)to breed crime.
Above all,
perhaps, it is the daily stresses and strains of the city which make life there
a matter of survival rather than of enjoyment.
Many a (k) commuter struggling to work through the rushhour (I)congestion asks, 'ls it worth it? *
Issues
of Education
Put each of the
following words or phrases in its correct place in the passage.
elite divisive
potential gifted classless spontaneity cram streaming conventional labelled
privileged inferiority complex
It’s interesting
that in some countries which are socialist and therefore supposedly
(a) . classless the educational system is based on (b)., streaming which means that
children are
educated according to their ability, with the more (c) gifted
_____ children
Separated from
the others. Supporters of this system say that more intelligent
children will be
helped to achieve their full (d) potential in
this way and that these
children will be
held back if they have to share lessons with less clever pupils.
Opponents of this
system, on the other hand, maintain that it creates an educated
(e) Elite a special class of (f) _privileged___ people who are encouraged to think of
themselves as
superior (o the others. Similarly, the others may, as a result of being
(g)labelled secondrate, develop some kind of (h) . Inferiority complex
In a word, such
a system is (i). divisive since it creates a
division between people.
Another
important question in education is the amount of freedom and choice children
should be given at
School.
The conservative view is that a (j) conventional system of strict rules is best.
However, critics
of this attitude say it causes regimentation, as in the army, and
discourages
children’s natural imagination and (k) spontaneity We
must ask ourselves
what the purpose
of education is to (l) cram children’s heads
with facts or to
encourage them to
develop their natural abilities in their own way?

Most people like

simply wear whatever they like.
Few people will
admit to being (b)slaves to fashion.
However, we are
not just talking of the expensive (c) haute couture of
the Paris and Milan (d) fashion houses____,
which not many people can afford anyway.
We are talking
of fashions and (e) trends everyday clothes.
We say that we
wear jeans and sweaters because they are cheap and practical, but isn't it true
that our jeans and sweaters tend to be the same as everyone else wears?
Doesn't that
mean that we like to be (f) trendy?
Of course, the big chainstores, to some
extent, (g)dictate the latest fashion what we
wear, but they always offer a choice and people do, on the whole, like to wear
(h) _the latest fashion____,
which extends
beyond clothes to makeup, (i) personal ornaments_
(men wear earrings too,
nowadays) and
hair styles.
It is easy to
declare that we do not (j) __slavishly follow the
(k)dictates of fashion, but aren ‘t we all (l)conformists at heart?

following words or phrases in its correct place below.

future
generations.
Advertising
Put each of the
following words or phrases in its correct place below.
beneficial
/ misleading / blatant / brainwash / implicit / catchy jingles / exploit / ubiquitous,
bombard
/ watchdog / subtle / informative
Modern
advertisements contain hidden messages.
(a)Implicit in the advertisement showing the pretty girl
in the new car or the smiling children round the packet of washing powder is
the message that if we buy the product, we also achieve success
and happiness.
It is a (b)subtle approach
since it seeks to (c) exploit our secret dreams,
and it is inescapable since advertising is (d) ubiquitous
Giant street
hoardings and (e) catchy jingles on television
(f)bombard us from all sides.
They (g)brainwash us into believing that we can realise our

Advertising is (i)informative
_.

our lives with colour and music.

demand, stimulate industry and so keep prices down.

advertising, most people would agree that some kind
of (j)watchdog body, appointed by the government or by the
advertising industry
itself, is
necessary to maintain standards of honesty and to discourage the more
(k) blatant types of (l)misleading
advertisements
How
Much Freedom Should Children Have?
Put each of the
following words or phrases in its correct place below.
possessive
/ upbringing / permissive / rebelliousness / suppress / formative / adolescence / run wild /
inhibited
/ authoritarian / juvenile delinquency
It is often said
that we live in a (a)permissive age, one in
which people are allowed to
do almost
anything they like.
Is this good for children?
They are going
through their (b)adolescence which is a very (c)formative stage of their development since their final
adult characters are beginning to take shape.
Some parents
think it is good for children to be allowed to (d) __run
wild__, without control or supervision. They say that this enables
children’s personalities to develop naturally and that they will learn to be
responsible by
the mistakes they make.
However, this might
lead to (e)juvenile delinquency with the
children ending up in the courts, or it might simply make children selfcentred,
without any consideration for others.
Other parents
believe in being strict, but taken to extremes this can produce a too (f)authoritarian atmosphere in the home, with the
children being dominated and ruled by their parents.
Parents can also
be very (g) possessive _ and try to keep their
children dependent on them.
These last two attitudes
can encourage (h) rebelliousness_____{against
parents, school, authority) in a child, or,
conversely, (i) suppress a child's natural sense of adventure and
curiosity.
A strict (j) upbringing_ by overcaring parents can make a child so
timid and (k) inhibited that he
or she is unable
o express freely his or her emotions and form mature relationships.
To bring up
children to be normal, welladjusted human beings requires great
wisdom, and
perhaps a bit of luck
Censorship
Put each of the
following words or phrases in its correct place below.
moral
standards / perverted / banned / masquerading / unscrupulous. / excessive / degrades / safeguards /
counterproductive
/ infringes / corrupting / gratuitous
The amount of
offensive material we are exposed to in films nowadays is surely (a) excessive.
Most people
accept that scenes of sex and violence are sometimes
necessary to
tell a story, but all too often these scenes are (b) gratuitous;
they are
unnecessary and
simply inserted in the film to appeal to the baser human instincts.
Censorship is
necessary, especially to protect children from the (c)corrupting
_____, influence
of such scenes,
often (d) masquerading__as art, in our cinemas.
There should
also be censorship of pornographic magazines produced by (e}unscrupulous people willing to Cater to the (f) perverted_____ tastes of a small minority.
Such material
destroys the innocence of the young and (g) degrades____
all who read it.
On the other
hand, there are those who say that something which is (h) banned______ becomes desirable so censorship is (i)counterproductive, and that censorship (j)infringes on our freedom of choice.
However, freedom
is not merely freedom to do what we want but freedom from
attempts to
destroy society's (k)moral standards.
Censorship
provides the (l) _safeguards __ by which society
protects itself.
Love
Put each of the
following words in its correct place below.
Partners
/ platonic / flirtation / infatuation / Mature / compatible / onesided / heroworship /

celebrities with
a kind of blind, devoted (b) heroworship.
The objects of
such adoration are regarded as gods by their smitten worshippers.
How sad that such devotion is almost always
unrequited (though popstars have been known to marry their fans).
Young people
also sometimes develop an irrational obsession for another, often
older, person
which is not an adult, (c) mature_feeling but
simply a youthful (d).infactuation
At parties a boy
may playfully try to attract a girl, or vice versa, without
intending any
serious, lasting relationship.
This is just a (e)flirtation.
A relationship which
gives deep and lasting happiness to both (f) partners must not be (g) onesided
(felt more
strongly by one of the pair than by the other).
It should be
based on a (h) mutual_love and respect, felt
equally by each of the two.
Of course, it
can take many forms.
It might be very deep but entail no physical
desire, in which case it is
described as (i)
platonic.
Certainly, for
any relationship to be (j) stable_. the two people
involved must be (k)compatible ____ (they must
get on well together).
This does not necessarily
mean that they must have attitudes and interests in common, for
partnerships of
opposites can wark very well.
The different
characters of the two people somehow (l) complement
each other.
Attitudes
to Work and Leisure
Put each of the
following words or phrases in its correct place below.
Constructively
/ rewarding / challenge / conditioned / Aimless / initiative / creativity / regimentation / scope / aspire / fulfilment
Most adults (a) aspire to more leisure but, in fact, not many people
have the
necessary (b) initiative to use the free time they already have very
(c) constructively.
The sad fact is
that we need work because it imposes the discipline we need.
Life seems (d) aimless_
and we secretly look forward to our work again.
We dream about personal
(e)fulfilment but probably find it more in our
work than in our leisure time.
This depends on
age.
The young are
free from work and responsibility, and freedom comes naturally to them.
However, after
they begin jobs, they become (f) conditioned to work.
They find they
need it, however much they complain about its routine and (g)regimentation.
Obviously, this
again depends on the kind of work.
Those with (h) rewarding Jobs, or jobs which require (i) creativity_ . receive genuine satisfaction from
their work, but
most of us are in conventional (j) to jobs which offer little
(k) scope for imagination.
We leave our
work only to face a leisure that we find difficult to cope with.
Our mistake is
in regarding leisure as a chance to do nothing,
whereas in fact
it should be looked on as a (l) challenge.
The
Purpose of State Punishment
Put each of the
following words or phrases in its correct place below.
wrongdoer
/ deterrent / lawabiding / death penalty / misdeeds / reform / humane / rehabilitate /
barbaric
/ retribution / crime doesn't pay / corporal punishment
What is the
purpose of punishment?
One purpose is
obviously to (a)reform the offender, to correct
the offender’s moral attitudes and antisocial behaviour and to (b)rehabilitate him or her, which means to assist the
offender to return to normal life as a useful member of the community.
Punishment can
also be seen as a (c) deterrent, because it
warns other people of what will happen if they are tempted to break the law and
so prevents them from doing so.
However, a third
purpose of punishment lies, perhaps, in society’s desire for (d)retribution _. which basically means revenge.
In other words,
don't we feel that a (e)wrongdoer should suffer
for his (f) misdeeds?
The form of
punishment should also be considered.
On the one hand,
some believe that we should ‘make the punishment fit the crime’.
Those who steal from
others should be deprived of their own property to ensure that criminals are
left in no doubt
that (g) *crime doesn’t pay".
For those who
attack others, (h)corporal punishment should be
used.
Murderers should
be subject to the principle ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth’ and
automatically receive the (i)death penalty.
On the other
hand, it is said that such views are unreasonable, cruel and (j) barbaric and that we should show a
more (k) humane attitude to punishment and try to understand
why a person
commits a crime
and how society has failed to enable him to live a respectable, (l) lawabiding life.

Hello, welcome
to my Channel. today, we are going to learn listening English with a story
Emily Z's Journey a story of determination Emily knew that the IELTS test was
the key to unlocking her dreams
for years. she
had envisioned studying abroad pursuing a master's degree in environmental
science in a prestigious University in Australia. the Lush Landscapes, the
Innovative research in sustainability and the vibrant Multicultural environment
of Australian universities had always captivated her.
but the path to
get there was paved with the formidable challenge of the international English
language testing system or IELTS. it wasn't just about wanting to study abroad,
it was about proving to herself that she could achieve something significant
something that required dedication, perseverance, and a whole lot of hard work.
Emily had always been a diligent student but I
else felt different it wasn't just about memorizing facts or acing examp in subjects.
she was already comfortable with IELTS was
about mastering a language, about demonstrating Proficiency in listening
Reading Writing and speaking all in English a language she admired.
but sometimes
felt intimidated by her initial foray into IELTS's preparation was to put it
mildly
overwhelming.
she downloaded
practice tests online, listened to sample speaking tests, and attempted to
decipher the complex scoring criteria. the listening tests seemed to fly by at
lightning speed. the reading passages were dense with unfamiliar vocabulary.
the writing tasks felt dauntingly formal and the thought of speaking fluently
and confidently in an interview setting made her Palms sweat after taking her
first mock test.
the results were
sobering she was far from her Target band. her listening and reading were
hovering around band. her writing was even lower at band and speaking while
slightly better was still only at band.
the overall band
score was a disappointing, discouragement threatened to creep in Whispering
doubts in her ear maybe this is too difficult.
maybe my English isn't good enough, maybe I
should just give up on this dream but Emily was not one to succumb to
negativity easily.
she took a deep
breath reminded herself of her Australian dream and decided to approach the
challenge systematically.
she spent hours researching
IELTS preparation strategy.
IES online
reading blogs from successful test takers and watching YouTube videos from
IELTS experts.
She learned
about the different question types the scoring system and the key skills needed
for
each section.
her first step was to identify her weaknesses.
it was clear that writing was her biggest hurdle.
she struggled
with essay, structure, grammatical accuracy, and generating ideas quickly under
timed conditions.
listening was
also challenging, particularly understanding fast-paced native speakers, and
deciphering
different
accents, reading comprehension was manageable but she needed to improve her
speed and vocabulary speaking while her strongest area still needed refinement
IELTS fluency pronunciation and
vocabulary range.
Emily created a
detailed study plan she decided to dedicate at least three hours every day to IELT's
preparation fitting it in around her part-time job at a local bookstore.
she divided her study
time into sections focusing on one skill each day but ensuring she practiced
all four skills every week.
for listening, she
immersed herself in English audio, she started listening to podcasts on topics
that interested her science, nature, and current affairs.
she watched
English movies and TV shows initially with subtitles and gradually weaned
herself off them forcing her ears to work harder.
she also utilized IELT's listening practice
materials focusing on understanding different accents and
question types
and practicing note-taking strategies.
she made mistakes often missing key
information or getting distracted but she persevered knowing
that every
listening session was making her ears more attuned to the nuances of the
English language. reading practice involved tackling a wide range of English
texts like
academic articles news websites novels and
ielt reading practice passages.
she focused on improving
her reading speed skimming and scanning techniques and vocabulary
acquisition
whenever she encountered unfamiliar words.
she diligently looked them up wrote them down
in a vocabulary notebook and made a conscious effort to use them in her
speaking and writing.
She practiced different reading question types,
learning to identify keywords, understand paraphrasing and manage her time
effectively under exam conditions.
writing was her
biggest challenge and she knew she needed structured guidance.
she enrolled in an online ielt writing course
which provided her with detailed feedback on her essays and helped her
understand the intricacies of task, achievement, coherence, and cohesion
lexical resource
and grammatical range and accuracy the four key criteria for IELTS writing
assessment.
she practiced writing essays and reports
regularly focusing on improving her essay structure, developing her ideas
logically and refining her grammar and vocabulary.
she diligently
reviewed the feedback from her online tutor identifying her common errors and
working
systematically to correct them.
speaking
practice was initially daunting but Emily knew it was crucial, she found a
language exchange partner online a native English speaker from Australia who
was also learning Vietnamese.
they met online twice a week practicing ielt
speaking questions providing each other with feedback and simply conversing in
English and Vietnamese.
she also recorded herself speaking listening
back to identify areas for improvement in pronunciation
fluency and grammar.
she practiced speaking
in front of a mirror focusing on her body language eye contact and overall
presentation the
IELTS
Journey was not without
its setbacks, there were days when Emily felt overwhelmed exhausted
and frustrated
by her slow progress.
sometimes her
mock test scores would Plateau or even dip slightly despite her consistent
effort.
there were
moments when she doubted herself when the dream of studying in Australia seemed
distant and unattainable.
but Emily refused to giveup she reminded
herself of her initial motivation her passion for environmental science and her
unwavering desire tobroaden her Horizons.
she sought encouragement from her family and friends
who cheered her on and reminded
her of her
strengths.
she celebrated small victories a higher score
in a practice test a positive feedback on her writing.
a smoother
conversation with her language partner these small winds kept her motivated and
fuelled her determination to keep going slowly, but surely Emily started to see
progress.
her listening
comprehension improved she could read faster and understand more complex texts.
her writing became more structured and
grammatically accurate and her speaking fluency and confidence grew.
noticeably her
mock test scores gradually climbed inching closer and closer to her Target ban.
finally, after
months of intense preparation, Emily felt ready to take the official ielt test.
she booked her test date a mix of nervousness
and excitement bubbling within her on the test day. she walked into the exam centre
with a deep breath and a determined mindset.
she focused on each section applying all the
strategies and techniques she had learned managing
her time
effectively and staying calm and focused.
despite the pressure Weeks Later the results
arrived online with trembling fingers Emily logged in
and saw her
scores.

speaking band. overall band score.
tears welled up
in her eye’s tears of relief joy and overwhelming accomplishment.

frustrations
the self-doubt
it had all been worth it she had conquered the 's challenge and in doing so she
had proven to herself that with determination, perseverance and consistent
effort even the most daunting dreams could be within reach.
Emily's IELTz
Journey was Far More Than Just test preparation. it was a journey of
self-discovery a testament to her resilience and a powerful reminder that hard
work and dedication can indeed

and disrupts water cycles reforestation and conservation
efforts are
essential to counteract these effects it seems clear
that appears to
be obvious what are the consequences of
climate change
it seems clear that climate change has far-reaching
consequences
Rising temperatures lead to more extreme weather events melting
polar ice caps
and rising sea levels which threaten Coastal
communities
additionally changing climates disrupt ecosystems and
agricultural
patterns affecting food security worldwide
it can be argued
that there is a reasonable case
for how does
urbanization impact the environment it can be argued that
urbanization has
significant impacts on the environment urban areas contribute to
air and water
pollution due to Industrial activities and vehicle
emissions
moreover the loss of Green Space B es and increased waste
generation
further exacerbate environmental degradation sustainable urban planning
is essential to
mitigate these effects it follows
that logical
consequence what role do forests play in
combating
climate change it follows that forests play a
crucial role in
combating climate change they act as carbon sinks absorbing
carbon dioxide
and releasing oxygen deforestation therefore not only reduces
this carbon
absorption capacity but also releases stored carbon accelerating
climate change
protecting and restoring forests is vital for environmental
sustainability
it is widely accepted that generally agreed
upon why should
we reduce our carbon footprint it is widely accepted that
reducing our
carbon footprint is essential to mitigate the adverse effects of climate
change lowering
greenhouse gas emissions helps to decrease global warming thus
preventing
extreme weather conditions preserving ecosystems and ensuring a
healthier planet
for future Generations sustainable practices and
green
technologies are key to achieving this goal it would be prudent
to wise or
sensible what are some effective
measures to
tackle water pollution it would be prudent to implement several measures to
tackle
water pollution
these include stricter regulations on industrial discharges
promoting the
use of environmentally friendly products and investing in wastewater treatment
Technologies
educating the public on the importance of water conservation and
pollution
prevention is also crucial to some
extent partially

degree partially true how does biodiversity loss affect
our planet to a
certain degree biodiversity loss has profound effects on our
planet it
disrupts ecosystems and reduces their resilience making them
more vulnerable
to environmental changes the loss of species can lead to
the collapse of
food chain affecting both wildlife and human
populations

additionally supporting eco-friendly products using public
transportation
and advocating for environmental policies amplify one's
impact while
systemic change is crucial personal responsibility in conscious
lifestyle
choices are foundational in driving broader environmental
progress in
essence essentially in a basic
way can you
explain the benefits of urban green spaces in essence Urban green spaces
offer numerous
environmental and social benefits
they improve air
quality by absorbing pollutants and providing
oxygen green
areas also reduce Urban heat island effects offering cooler
spaces in cities
socially they enhance Community
well-being
promoting physical activity mental health and social
interaction
green spaces can mitigate storm water runoff reducing flooding
risks overall
they are essential for creating healthier more resilient Urban
environments to
put things into perspective to compare something to
other things so
that it can be accurately and fairly judged how severe is the issue of
deforestation
globally to put things into perspective
the rate of
deforestation is alarmingly high with vast areas of forests being
cleared every
year this leads to loss of biodiversity
disruption of
ecosystems and contribute significantly to climate
change
deforestation not only destroys habitats but also affects indigenous
communities and
reduces carbon sequestration capacities by understanding the gravity
of deforestation
it is clear that immediate and comprehensive actions are needed to
protect forests
and promote sustainable land use practices for all intents and
purposes in
every practical sense are electric vehicles a viable
solution to
reducing Urban Air Pollution for all intents and purposes
electric
vehicles EVS are a viable solution to reducing Urban Air
Pollution they
produce zero tailpipe emissions significantly lowering levels
of harmful
pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate
matter as the
electricity grid becomes Greener the overall environmental impact
of EVS further
decreases while infrastructure development and cost are challenges
ongoing
advancements and incentives are making EVS increasingly
accessible
transitioning to electric transportation is a crucial step towards
cleaner
healthier Urban environments for

Environmental
Conservation efforts communities can engage in
Environmental
Conservation efforts in various ways for instance organizing local
cleanup drives
tree planting activities and recycling programs can foster a
sense of
collective responsibility educational workshops and
campaigns raise
awareness and Inspire eco-friendly
practices by
participating in local governance communities can can advocate
for sustainable
policies and practices such Grassroots initiatives
not only protect
the environment but also build stronger more resilient
communities to
put it differently to express something in a
different way
why is it important to address climate change
urgently to put
it differently addressing climate change urgent ly is
crucial to
prevent irreversible damage to our planet if we delay action the impacts
such as extreme
weather events rising sea levels and loss of biodiversity will
become more
severe and harder to manage prompt action can mitigate these
effects protect
ecosystems and ensure a sustainable future for
all iMed
immediate efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions transitioning
to renewable
energy and adopting sustainable practices are essential to
avert
catastrophic outcomes the rationale
behind the
reasoning or explanation for something what is the rationale behind

On the other
hand, Commonwealth literature, refers to the literature of those countries that
were colonised by the United Kingdom.
Most often, this
type of literature addresses the problems, challenges and consequences of the
decolonization of a country and mainly discusses the questions that relate to
the political and cultural independence of the colonized.
It also deals
with the themes such as racialism and
colonialism.
The problems and consequences of the decolonization of a country, especially questions
relating to the political and cultural independence of formerly subjugated people, and themes such as racialism and
colonialism are addressed by the postcolonial literature.
A range of
literary theory has evolved around the subject.
In addition,
commonwealth poetry radically enlarged the atlas of literature in English,
combining modern and contemporary poetry with metaphors from indigenous culture.
This has
resulted in a rich and vibrant poetry issued from the hybridization
of the English muse with the muses of post-colonial
societies in Africa, India, and the Caribbean.

Today’s modern
science and technology is an offshoot of the understanding of nature.
The human mind
is always curious to know and understand different phenomena like the bright
celestial objects in nature, cyclic changes in the seasons, occurrence of rainbow,
etc. The inquisitive mind looks for meaningful patterns and relations in such phenomena.
Science is the
systematic organization of knowledge gained through observation,
experimentation and logical reasoning. The knowledge of science dealing with
non-living things is physical science (Physics and Chemistry), and that dealing
with living things is biological science (Botany, Zoology etc.).

The songs of
love as Rabindranath Tagore have written bring forth a serene world of
consciousness. It is a world where he weaves the thread of love in association with
joy, freedom, beauty and wonder. Along with these, he also delineates with languishment,
sorrow, hopelessness, awe and admiration.
All these
components of love are synchronized in such a way as to make room in his muse
for an elegant and poignant journey to an exquisite land of mystic awareness.

Tagore has been rightly called India’s poet laureate combines in himself three
distinct roles, that of a poet, a philosopher and a patriot.
As an ardent
patriot, he aspired not only political freedom for his nation but also its
liberation from the evils of idleness, cowardice, ignorance, selfishness and

Oxidation - the
process or result of oxidizing or being oxidized.
Discoloration /

Oxidation occurs
when an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons in a chemical
reaction.
When oxidation
occurs, the oxidation state of the chemical species increases.
Oxidation
doesn't necessarily involve oxygen! Originally, the term was used when oxygen
caused electron loss in a reaction.
An oxidizing
agent is a substance that oxidizes another material. In other words, an
oxidizing agent donates oxygen (or donates hydrogen) to another species.

Miniaturisation
The problem of
immense shortage of power supply is particularly acute in metro-cities and
people are forced to look for alternatives in the form of generator sets,
inverters, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), etc. In fact, these gadgets have
now become a part and parcel home appliances.
Electricity
energy is generated using hydel, gas, wind, coal, solar or nuclear fuel.

In the
mid-fifties, the emphasis shifted to the judicious utilization
of funds.
The descriptive
treatment of the subject of financial management is being replaced by growing
analytical content and sound theoretical underpinnings.
Under current
global circumstances, innovative financial
planning has become a sine qua non for governments, companies and organizations
in order to be able to adapt to the changing business environment caused by
liberalization, globalization, de-regulation and recession.
The finance
manager has to juggle several variables, such as
the type, period, locations rate of return
and other conditions.

Profit planning
refers to the operating decisions in the areas of pricing, costs, volume of
output and the firm’s selection of product lines. Profit planning is,
therefore, a prerequisite for optimizing investment and financing decisions.
The cost
structure of the firm, i.e. the mix of fixed and variable costs has a
significant influence on a firm’s profitability.
Fixed costs
remain constant while variable costs change in direct proportion to volume
changes. Because of the fixed costs, profits fluctuate at a higher degree than
the fluctuations in sales.
The change in
profits due to the change in sales is referred to as operating leverage.

Goods and
services in great demand command higher prices.
Higher profit
opportunities attract other firms to produce such goods and services.
Ultimately, with
intensifying competition, an equilibrium price is reached at which demand and
supply match.
Profit planning
helps to anticipate the relationships between volume, costs and profits and
develop action plans to face unexpected surprises.
Prices
are determined by the demand and supply
conditions as well as the competitive forces, and they guide the allocation of
resources for various productive activities.
The profit
maximization objective has been criticized as it cannot be a legitimate
objective of the firm.
He/she has the
difficult task of reconciling and balancing these conflicting objectives to
accomplish his/her goals.

Abstract
thinking / Logical thinking / Creative or Innovative thinking / Communication /
Time Management / Decision-making
Skills on your
resume can be broken down into two main categories
• Soft Skills
Also called interpersonal skills, these are your social and emotional
abilities.
They affect how
you interact and communicate with other people.
• Hard Skills
Hard skills are also called technical skills.
They are a
person’s technical abilities and are often industry-specific.
Conceptual
Skills
These involve
the skills managers present in terms of the knowledge and ability for abstract
thinking and formulating ideas.
The manager is
able to see an entire concept, analyze and diagnose a problem, and find
creative solutions.
This helps the
manager to effectively predict hurdles their department or the business as a
whole may face.
Technical skills
are hard skills because they are quantifiable in some way.
Usually, a hard
skill can be either learned or taught.
Cramming /
stuffing/ packing
If you feel a
point is too tangential or less relevant, skip it.
On the other
hand, if you are talking about recent job cuts, you need to sound a little
sombre.
Nothing
impresses audiences more than an honest and baritone voice.
Impromptu
Empathy is one
of the most celebrated soft skills these days.
To be empathetic
means that you're able to understand the opinions and biases of others as well
as how their own history or position may influence their thoughts and
reactions.

Sprezzatura
is
an Italian word that refers to a kind of effortless grace, the art of making
something difficult look easy, or maintaining a nonchalant demeanour while
performing complex tasks. The term is used in the context of fashion, where
classical outfits are purposefully worn in a way that seem a bit off, as if the
pieces of clothing were put on while in a hurry. Sprezzatura was a vital quality
for a courtier to have.

intuitively one may feel that if a pendulum oscillates with °amplitude and then
with ° amplitude, the time period in the latter case will be much larger — if
not times, at least or
times. For Galileo it was a great fascination when he discovered, using
his heart beats as a clock, that time period does not change with amplitude and
this led to development of pendulum clocks.

What is a figure
of speech?
A figure of
speech is a literary device that conveys meaning in a non-literal way, often by
employing creative language to enhance expression and evoke emotion. Figures of
speech can include metaphors, similes, personification, and hyperbole, among
others.
Around us all
the time in speech and writing, figures of speech can be divided into schemes
and tropes. Schemes rearrange word order for a specific effect, whereas tropes
use words in a way that differs from their literal meaning.
By transforming
ordinary expressions into more imaginative phrases, figures of speech engage
our senses and encourage us to think critically about the underlying meanings.
Figures of
speech vs. figurative language
Language that
uses figures of speech is known collectively as figurative language. You will
find examples of figurative language in novels, poems, essays, and plays. The
opposite of figurative language is literal language. Literal language is the
type of straightforward writing you’ll find on road signs, in office memos, and
in research papers.
Here’s a tip:

common types of figures of speech
Alliteration
Alliteration
refers to repeating consonant sounds right next to each other, which creates a
memorable or melodic effect.
“She sells
seashells by the seashore.”
Antithesis
Antithesis is a
literary technique that places opposite things or ideas next to one another to
highlight their contrast.
“It was the best
of times, it was the worst of times…” —Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
Apostrophe
Apostrophe as a
figure of speech is when a character addresses someone or something that isn’t
present or cannot respond. The character might speak to someone deceased, an
inanimate object, or a concept.
“O Romeo, Romeo,
wherefore art thou Romeo?” —William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
Circumlocution
Circumlocution
is the use of a purposely wordy description. You can think of it as talking in
circles.
In Lewis
Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts gives confusing
directions to Alice using long, roundabout phrases instead of straightforward
commands.
Epigram
An epigram is a
clever and memorable statement. You will find epigrams in speeches, poetry, and
sometimes at the beginning of a book.
“No one can make
you feel inferior without your consent.” —Eleanor Roosevelt
Euphemism
A euphemism is a
soft and inoffensive word or phrase that replaces a harsh, unpleasant, or
hurtful one for the sake of sympathy or civility, such as passed away or
downsizing.
In George
Orwell’s Animal Farm, the character Napoleon refers to the execution of the
animals who oppose him as a public purging, which softens the harsh reality of
what’s actually happening—murder and violence.
Hyperbole
Hyperbole is a
deliberate exaggeration that adds emphasis, urgency, or excitement to a
statement.
“If I don’t eat
soon, I’m going to die of hunger.”
Irony
Irony is when
there is a discrepancy between expectation and reality. It often highlights
contrasts between appearance and truth or intention and outcome, creating a
humorous, tragic, or thought-provoking effect.
In Oedipus Rex
by Sophocles, Oedipus vows to find and punish the murderer of King Laius, not
realizing that he himself is the murderer.
Litotes
Litotes use a
double negative to create a positive.
“You’re not
wrong.”
Metaphor
A metaphor
directly compares dissimilar things to create more vivid imagery or
understanding.
“He was an
onion; to understand him, she had to peel back the layers.”
Metonymy
Metonymy is a
literary device in which a word or object stands for a closely related word or
object. Metonymy gives a writer more variability with descriptions.
“I thought his
movies were better when they weren’t so Hollywood.”
Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is
when a word imitates the natural sound of a thing, making the description more
expressive and vivid.
“The bacon
sizzled in the pan.” The word sizzled imitates the sound of bacon cooking.
Oxymoron
An oxymoron is a
phrase that uses two contradictory words to create a new meaning.
The phrase
deafening silence contrasts two opposing words: deafening, which suggests a
loud noise, and silence, which indicates the absence of sound.
Paradox
A paradox is a
statement that appears to contradict itself but contains some truth, theme, or humour.
“All animals are
equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” —George Orwell, Animal
Farm
Personification
Personification
is assigning human attributes to nonhuman things.
“The floorboards
groaned under the weight of each step.”
Pleonasm
Pleonasm is the
use of more words than necessary to convey meaning. A writer might use pleonasm
for humour or emphasis, or they might not realize they’re using extra words at
all.
“The burning
fire warmed the whole house.”
Pun
A pun is a form
of wordplay that purposely substitutes words that sound similar but have
different meanings.
“‘Mine is a long
and a sad tale!’ said the Mouse, turning to Alice and sighing. ‘It is a long
tail, certainly,’ said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse’s tail,
‘but why do you call it sad?’” —Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Simile
A simile
compares two dissimilar things using like or as to give the reader a more vivid
understanding of something.
“It was the
first real day of summer, and by the time she came back indoors, she was as red
as a tomato.”
Synecdoche
Synecdoche is
when a smaller unit is used to signify a larger unit or vice versa.
In the
expression all hands on deck, hands refers to the crew members who work on a
ship. Instead of mentioning the entire person, it uses a part (the hands) to
represent the whole.
Understatement
Understatement
is the intentional downplaying of a situation. This can create a humorous or
deadpan effect in writing.
“I have to have
this operation. It isn’t very serious. I have this tiny little tumor on the
brain.” —J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

The Types of Conflict in Literature
The seven types
of conflict in literature are: person vs. person, person vs. self, person vs.
nature, person vs. society, person vs. technology, person vs. supernatural, and
person vs. fate.
. Person vs. Person
This is the most
common type of conflict, where a character faces opposition from another
character. This struggle can be physical, emotional, or ideological. Example:
In "Harry Potter," Harry faces Voldemort, representing the classic
hero vs. villain dynamic.
. Person vs. Self
This internal
conflict occurs when a character grapples with their own emotions, beliefs, or
decisions. It often involves moral dilemmas or personal struggles. Example: In
Shakespeare's "Hamlet," the protagonist wrestles with his desire for
revenge against his uncle and his moral reservations about committing murder.
. Person vs. Nature
In this
conflict, a character faces challenges posed by natural forces, such as
weather, animals, or other elements of the environment. Example: In "The
Old Man and the Sea," Santiago battles the sea and its creatures as he
tries to catch a giant marlin.
. Person vs. Society
This conflict
arises when a character stands against societal norms, laws, or expectations.
It often highlights issues of injustice or oppression. Example: In "The
Handmaid's Tale," Offred struggles against a totalitarian regime that
subjugates women.
. Person vs. Technology
In this modern
conflict, characters face challenges from technological advancements or
machines. This can include themes of control, dependence, or rebellion against
technology. Example: In "I, Robot," characters confront the ethical
implications of artificial intelligence.
. Person vs. Supernatural
This conflict
involves characters facing forces beyond the natural world, such as ghosts,
gods, or other supernatural entities. Example: In "Macbeth," Macbeth
contends with the supernatural prophecies of the witches that drive him to
commit heinous acts.
In this type of
conflict, a character struggles against their destiny or predetermined fate.
This often raises questions about free will and choice. Example: In
"Oedipus Rex," Oedipus fights against a prophecy that foretells he
will kill his father and marry his mother.
Understanding
these types of conflict can enhance both the reading experience and the writing
process, as they are essential elements that drive narratives and character
development in literature.
