Unit 3 vocabulary list.
- Look carefully through the list to make sure you know the words and are confident that you can use them in your written or spoken English.
- Look up the meaning of any new words and put them in a sentence.
- Make a handwritten note of any new words, ideally in a separate note pad that you carry with you. Whenever you have a few minutes – waiting for a bus, just before going to sleep, waiting for the kettle to boil – take out the list and look through, reminding yourself of the word and the meaning.
- Improving your vocabulary for IELTS takes practice, so try to use the new word(s) in any suitable situation over the next few weeks – using the new word will help you remember it!
- Write the new word a number of times – writing down vocabulary will help you remember it and will also help with spelling.
