1:30 of this word are Prim primary schooling

1:38 child's future and if we look at a
1:40 sentence from the 100 essays in Vietnam

1:45 which makes it difficult for educators
1:48 to provide proper schooling for each
1:51 student education is one of the if not

2:39 example sentence he is a renowned expert
2:42 in the field of biology and let's look
2:44 at how our students use this in their
2:46 essay for instance after opening a
2:50 branch of Apple company in Dubai many
2:52 local graduates were thrilled by the
2:54 good news of being accepted to work
2:57 under this renowned company so instead
3:00 of saying famous company they've added
3:03 renowned the next word is Prime and no
3:05 it's not a drink made by Logan Paul this
3:08 means the best or most important
3:12 synonyms are best top Main and this word
3:14 is an adjective the most common
3:17 collocation is prime example but you
3:20 could also Swap this out for Prime
3:23 Advantage Prime disadvantage Prime
3:26 solution Prime reason often in your
3:28 essays you'll be talking about these
3:29 things so if you want to describe
3:32 describe these things as the best or
3:35 most important you can add prime before
3:37 those words an example sentence is this
3:40 is a prime example of excellent customer
3:42 service and in our essays one student
3:45 wrote the prime disadvantage is that
3:47 these companies use the natural
3:49 resources of developing nations
3:51 recklessly which affects the environment
3:54 so a very very good topic sentence there
3:56 talking about advantages and
3:58 disadvantages but the great thing about
4:00 this word like many of the words on this
4:03 list is it can be used interchangeably
4:05 throughout your essays the next word is
4:08 prone which means likely to do or
4:11 experience something synonyms are likely
4:14 inclined and susceptible this is an
4:16 adjective and a common collocation is
4:19 prone to errors but it's not just prone
4:22 to errors the collocation will normally
4:26 be prone to but you can swap out errors
4:28 for other things that people are likely
4:31 to experience so an example sentence
4:34 children are prone to making mistakes
4:37 when they are learning and in our essays
4:40 we have thus people that have a diet
4:43 based on plants and seeds are more prone
4:46 to have a healthier life because they
4:48 are allow their bodies to focus their
4:51 energy in its normal processes and

5:55 officials these are people working in
5:57 the government in our essay they wrote
5:58 in conclusion I do not support the
6:01 argument of new newspapers publishing
6:03 the information of government officials
6:07 so Tas two essays will often talk about
6:09 the government and government policy so
6:11 it's a very useful word to have the next
6:14 word is output and this means the amount
6:16 produced of something synonyms of this
6:19 word are production or yield and this is
6:22 a noun common collocations are
6:26 industrial output or total output
6:27 sometimes you will be asked to write
6:30 about companies companies d dominate our
6:32 lives similarly to the last one where
6:34 we're talking about governments
6:37 governments and companies dominate our
6:39 lives and have a huge impact on our
6:42 lives therefore you will often be asked
6:44 to write about the those things or write
6:47 about examples of those things in your
6:50 task two essays an example sentence the
6:53 Factor's output has increased this year
6:55 and from our essays the main benefits of
6:57 wearing a uniform are that it brings
7:00 uniformity to the workplace and helps to
7:03 increase the output of companies and you
7:06 could also change that to a company's
7:08 output or a Factor's output the next
7:11 word is intellect which means the
7:14 ability to think and understand and
7:16 notice I didn't say memorize memorize
7:19 isn't really thinking so don't think
7:22 that you can memorize all of these words
7:25 and magically improve your intellect
7:27 more on that at the end of the video
7:30 synonym of this is intelligence and this
7:33 is a nine common collocations are his
7:35 intellect or her intellect or maybe a
7:38 child's intellect an example sentence is
7:41 her sharp intellect makes her a great
7:43 scientist and from her essays
7:47 educational programs on television can
7:50 help a child's intellect often you will
7:53 get questions about education especially
7:56 about children and how to improve their
7:58 education improve their intelligence
8:00 improve their intell the next word is
8:03 incentives which means things that
8:05 encourage you to do something for

8:13 and add in your email address and we'll
8:15 send you a free course I've just given
8:17 you an incentive synonyms of this word
8:21 are motivation reward and encouragement
8:24 this is a nine uncommon cations are
8:28 provide incentives or offer incentives
8:30 so this will often come up when we're
8:33 talking about education or how companies
8:36 are run often we will provide incentives
8:40 or offer incentives to students workers
8:42 citizens to try and get them to do
8:44 something another way to think about
8:47 this word is the approach of a carrot
8:50 and a stick so if you want a donkey to
8:52 do something you can beat it with a
8:55 stick or you can provide an incentive a
8:58 carrot to make it go forward an example
9:01 sentence are the comp offers Financial
9:04 incentives to its best workers and in
9:06 our essays many younger people find
9:09 voting a waste of time and therefore if
9:12 they are given incentives they are more
9:14 likely to take the time to vote our next
9:17 word is irrespective this means without
9:20 considering something synonyms are
9:23 regardless and despite and this is an
9:25 adverb the most common collocation is
9:29 irrespective of and then after of will
9:31 be the thing that you are ignoring or

9:36 irrespective of the outcome we must try
9:38 our best and in our essays I believe
9:41 that adult life brings more joy because
9:44 of Life fulfillment irrespective of more
9:46 responsibilities so this is very useful
9:49 when you are balancing two views or
9:53 considering two views often you will get
9:55 questions that ask you to discuss both
9:57 views so this is very useful in your
9:59 conclusion when you're giving your
10:03 opinion so you're saying I believe this
10:06 thing irrespective of the other side the
10:08 next word is fundamental no it's
10:11 actually fundamental and this means
10:14 important synonyms of this word are

11:43 the rest of this free video the next
11:46 word is disclose which means to make
11:50 something known synonyms are reveal show
11:52 and tell this is a verb and the most
11:55 common collocation is to disclose
11:57 information for example the company must
12:01 disclose any risk to its investors and
12:02 from our essays on the other hand
12:05 publishing details of Private Affairs
12:08 discloses the corruption of politicians
12:11 and make them accountable so again
12:13 you'll often be writing about the
12:15 government what is the government full
12:19 of in most countries corrupt politicians
12:21 so it's very easy to talk about
12:23 disclosing them the next word is
12:26 detrimental and it means to cause harm
12:29 or damage synonyms are harmful damaging
12:32 or just bad this is an adjective and the
12:35 most common collocation is detrimental
12:37 effect for example smoking has a
12:40 detrimental effect on health I looked
12:43 through the essays and the students did
12:46 use this a lot but not many of them used
12:49 it the most common way which is a
12:52 detrimental effect on health for example
12:55 or a detrial effect on the environment
12:58 Health the environment or just talking
13:01 about had effects on many different
13:04 things you'll often write about those in
13:06 your essays so think about having that
13:08 in your essay when you're talking about
13:11 negative or bad things the next word is
13:13 adolesence and these are young people
13:16 normally between the ages of 13 and 19
13:18 but it differs from person to person and
13:21 a synonym of this word is teenager this
13:23 is a noun and you have to be very very
13:26 careful with this word most students use
13:28 this because often you will be asked to
13:31 write about children so what they do is
13:34 they take the word children and just use
13:37 that as a synonym by inserting
13:40 adolescence now my two little boys one
13:43 is three and the other is nine they are
13:46 children but they are not adolescence so
13:48 you must only use this word if you are
13:52 writing about teenagers going through
13:55 that stage of life which is puberty for
13:57 example adolescents often experience
13:59 many changes in their lives and there
14:02 aren't that many common collocations so
14:05 I haven't added any and from our essays
14:07 although adolescence are free of
14:09 responsibilities adults enjoy their life
14:12 more because they are free to make their
14:14 own choices so I think this is a really
14:16 really good word to think about because
14:18 you're not just going to memorize these
14:22 words and insert them randomly into your
14:24 essays but what you're also not going to
14:27 do is take words that are similar so
14:30 they're synonyms and just replace those
14:33 words like children adolesence think
14:35 about the specific meaning of each of
14:38 these words and think about can you
14:40 actually use them accurately and
14:42 appropriately in your essays we're not
14:45 telling you just to memorize these words
14:47 and vomit them onto the page the next
14:50 word is accountable and this means
14:53 responsible for your actions synonyms
14:56 are responsible answerable and liable
14:58 this is an adjective and the most common
15:01 collocation are accountable to something
15:05 so to people or to a government or a
15:08 body unaccountable for something if
15:10 you're accountable for something it's
15:13 normally your actions for example
15:16 managers should be held accountable for
15:18 their decisions from our essay this
15:21 essay strongly disagrees with this view
15:23 because politicians build Public Image
15:26 through such news and they could be held
15:29 accountable for any wrongdoings I think
15:31 think the student meant to write should
15:33 be held accountable again you'll often
15:35 be asked to write about people in
15:37 Authority people like government
15:41 officials politicians teachers or just
15:43 everybody in general we are all
15:46 accountable for things that we do and
15:49 we're normally accountable to people
15:51 above us or people around us the next
15:54 word is addressed and this means to fix
15:57 an issue or fix a problem synonyms are
15:59 tackled deal with
16:02 handled fixed and this is a verb the
16:05 most common collocations are address a
16:08 problem or the problem or address an
16:10 issue or the issue for example the
16:12 teacher addressed the issue of bullying
16:15 in the classroom in that example we
16:17 didn't fix the issue it's not the
16:20 teacher completely resolving the issue
16:23 of bullying this means to bring it up to
16:25 address it to talk about it in the
16:27 classroom so just be careful with that
16:29 slight difference in meaning in our
16:32 essay the student said however this can
16:35 easily be addressed by making people
16:38 aware and also by making new laws so
16:41 they've used it to say addressed fixed
16:43 so you might use this for example in
16:47 problem solution essays addressing
16:49 problems in your Solutions part of your
16:52 essay but it can also be used very
16:55 flexibly and interchangeably with many
16:57 different ways of writing essays the
16:59 next word is affluence which means
17:01 having a lot of money synonyms are
17:04 wealthy Rich prosperous and this is an
17:06 adjective the most common collocations
17:08 are an affluent society or an affluent
17:11 country but you can also apply this to
17:13 people in our essays our student wrote
17:15 In addition not only does a country
17:17 become more powerful economically but
17:20 also many residents have an opportunity
17:22 to become affluent so it is a common
17:25 essay topic to write about money and
17:27 people becoming more successful you'll
17:29 have a lot of people furiously typing
17:32 success and money are not the same thing
17:34 it's not politics class or just trying
17:36 to help you get a higher score so you
17:39 can become more affluent and more
17:40 successful in your new country that's
17:42 why you're doing the I test right the
17:44 next word is allocate which means to
17:47 distribute resources or duties common
17:51 synonyms are assign distribute and a lot
17:53 this is a verb and the most common
17:56 cocation is to allocate resources for
17:58 example the manager will allocate
18:01 resources for the new project and in our
18:03 essays investment banks in Sweden showed
18:06 a significant increase after they
18:09 decided to allocate at least 40% of
18:11 their leading positions to women the
18:14 next one is a very useful word which is
18:17 awareness which means knowledge about
18:20 something synonyms are knowledge or
18:22 understanding this is a n and common
18:24 call locations are to raise awareness
18:27 but for I essays we often talk about
18:29 awareness campaign aigns which are
18:32 campaigns by the government to make
18:34 people aware of a certain topic for
18:36 example we need to raise awareness about
18:40 the dangers of smoking and in our essays
18:42 however encouraging youth participation
18:45 in politics and awareness campaigns can
18:47 be possible solutions to tackle these
18:49 problems so these are very very useful
18:52 when talking about solutions to problems
18:55 often the best solution will be some
18:58 kind of awareness campaign think about
19:00 campaigns with within your own country
19:03 for smoking or drunk driving or wear
19:05 seat bels the next word is bullying
19:08 which means repeated aggressive behavior
19:11 intended to hurt someone synonyms are
19:13 harassment intimidation and abuse this
19:16 is a nine but it can also be used as a
19:18 verb to bully someone common
19:20 collocations are school bullying and
19:23 very frequently these days cyber
19:26 bullying which means to bully someone
19:28 online normally through social media for
19:30 example school bullying can seriously
19:32 affect a child's self-esteem and from
19:34 our essays the main reason behind this
19:37 is the increase of cyber bullying and
19:39 hate crimes the next word is burden
19:41 which means a heavy load or a heavy
19:44 responsibility synonyms are load or
19:46 responsibility and this is a nine the
19:48 most common collocations are heavy
19:51 burden and financial burden for example
19:53 the financial burden of college can be
19:56 overwhelming for some students and from
19:57 our essays this is because they cannot
19:59 cope with the financial burden of buying
20:02 new clothes from stores such as Prada or
20:05 Gucci money makes the world go around
20:07 and a lot of task two essays will
20:10 involve you talking about money
20:13 Financial burdens but doesn't have to be
20:15 about money you could also talk about
20:18 the burden of being a father or a mother
20:21 for example or the burden of being a
20:24 husband or wife but burden is often
20:27 referred to negatively so don't tell my
20:29 wife that I said that the next word is
20:32 capabilities which means the ability to
20:34 do something synonyms are abilities
20:38 skills or talents this is a n and common
20:41 collocations are their capabilities or
20:43 its capabilities so you're talking about
20:46 the ability of a person to do something
20:48 or a thing to do something for example
20:51 the company's technological capabilities
20:54 are impressive and from our essays in
20:56 conclusion many athletes nowadays use
20:58 illegal substances to win the
21:01 competition and exceed their physical
21:04 capabilities so common topics are
21:07 technology and health you could easily
21:11 use capabilities to talk about company's
21:15 abilities or software's abilities or AI
21:16 abilities but you could also use the
21:18 word capabilities to talk about
21:21 someone's physical health and their
21:24 capabilities or you could use it for
21:26 education to talk about the capabilities
21:29 of students or maybe even teachers
21:30 we have abilities to next is a very
21:33 common word commonly which means
21:36 frequently or usually synonyms are often
21:39 usually and regularly this is an adverb
21:43 common collocations are commonly used
21:45 for example this word is commonly used
21:48 in academic writing and from our essays
21:51 for instance it can be commonly seen in
21:53 many schools the teachers introduce TVs
21:56 in their lectures to help students
21:58 understand complicated and difficult
22:00 subjects so if you're talking about time
22:03 and how often something happens use that
22:06 word next is consumption the act of
22:10 using something synonyms are use and
22:12 usage and this is a noun common
22:14 collocations are energy consumption
22:18 human consumption when we eat things or

22:30 environment and global warming and new
22:32 technologies for producing energy you
22:35 will often use this word in these
22:37 collocations and from our essays one
22:39 student wrote this is because animals
22:41 are reproduced kept in small and
22:43 uncomfortable places and then killed and
22:46 sold to supermarkets and butchers for
22:49 human consumption so if anyone or
22:53 anything is using something within your
22:55 essays you could look through it and
22:56 think how could I use the word
22:59 consumption the next word is competence
23:02 and this is the ability to do something
23:04 well not the ability just to do
23:06 something but to do something well
23:08 synonyms are ability skill and
23:11 proficiency this is a nine and common
23:14 collocations are professional competence
23:17 and competence in something for example

23:22 in her excellent work and one student
23:25 wrote by allocating a certain percent of
23:28 high level positions to women companies
23:31 would reach a higher competence level so
23:34 often you'll be writing about maybe
23:36 disadvantaged groups of people for
23:38 example in this one women and you're
23:41 writing about their confidence in things
23:43 next is a word many of you already know
23:46 I'm sure which is corruption this means
23:49 dishonest or illegal Behavior by those

24:22 revealed in the sun it promoted
24:24 questions from many sections of the
24:27 society eventually exposing his
24:29 corruption with the public money yes I
24:32 know that student made a few small
24:35 grammatical errors don't go crazy it's
24:37 not the student's fault maybe that
24:39 student had a little bit of corruption
24:41 in their school when they were growing
24:43 up and they didn't get the attention
24:46 that you got from your very honest
24:48 teachers and politicians the next one is
24:51 a two for one these are both highlevel
24:54 words that mean the same thing downsides
24:57 and drawbacks these both mean the
24:59 negative aspects of something synonyms
25:02 are disadvantages negatives these are
25:05 both nouns and it won't be a surprise
25:08 that students use these as synonyms when
25:10 they are talking about advantages
25:12 disadvantages essays the most common
25:15 cocation for downsides are potential
25:17 downsides so you're talking about
25:20 something that might be a downside and
25:22 the most common collocation for
25:25 drawbacks are major drawbacks for
25:27 example the potential downsides of the
25:30 new policy include increased costs and
25:32 from our essays one of the major
25:34 drawbacks of this method is its high
25:36 cost another little trick there if you
25:39 get an advantages or disadvantages essay
25:42 very often an easy disadvantage is to
25:45 talk about high cost not always but does
25:47 help to have that in your toolkit and
25:50 the next word is similar but different
25:52 and that is deficiency now this isn't
25:55 really a disadvantage this is a lack of
25:57 something so there is a little bit of it
26:00 already but there is a lack of it
26:03 synonyms are a lack a shortage or an
26:06 insufficiency this is a noun and a
26:09 common collocation is a vitamin
26:12 deficiency or deficiency in so you might
26:14 not have a vitamin deficiency but you
26:16 might have a deficiency in something
26:18 else so you have a deficiency in
26:20 whatever you have a deficiency of for
26:23 example a vitamin deficiency can cause
26:25 health problems and from our essays the
26:28 main disadvantage of the vegetarian diet
26:31 is that without meat people may have a
26:34 protein deficiency obviously this can be
26:37 used for many different topics but
26:40 health is one of the main ones the next
26:43 one is Embrace which means to accept
26:46 something with enthusiasm synonyms are
26:49 accept welcome and adopt this is a verb
26:52 and the most common collocation for our
26:55 purposes is to embrace change life is
26:58 basically the story of change when
26:59 you're writing you're going to be
27:02 writing about life so it's very easy to
27:05 use this collocation for example we need
27:09 to embrace change to stay competitive
27:11 and from our essays there are two main
27:12 benefits of traveling such as people can
27:15 gain knowledge and embrace other
27:19 cultures so not just embracing change
27:21 but embracing new things which is
27:22 another way of saying change the next
27:25 one will definitely enhance your writing
27:29 score which is enhance this means to
27:32 improve something synonyms are improve
27:35 boost increase this is a verb and common
27:39 cations are to enhance performance but
27:41 you can substitute a performance for
27:44 something else or enhanced with a d on
27:48 the End by enhanced by for example the
27:50 new software will enhance our
27:52 performance and one of our students
27:54 wrote for instance many psychologists
27:56 suggest to students who are struggling
27:58 with social anxiety to take drama
28:01 lessons as it helps to enhance
28:03 confidence so enhance performance
28:05 enhance confidence next is a very very
28:09 popular one emissions which means gases
28:12 or substances sent out into the air most
28:15 commonly for our purposes carbon dioxide
28:18 emissions synonym of this is output and
28:21 this is a noun common collocations are
28:23 carbon emissions or carbon dioxide
28:26 emissions and reduce emissions for
28:28 example reducing carbon emiss missions
28:31 is vital to combat climate change and
28:33 from our essays the main advantage of
28:36 having a vegetarian diet is that carbon
28:38 emissions can be reduced for bonus
28:41 points take that sentence how would you
28:44 improve the vocabulary of that sentence
28:46 using the words we've already talked
28:48 about in this video put it in the
28:51 comments the next one is establishments
28:53 and this is a business or an
28:56 organization synonyms are institutions
28:58 organizations and firms terms this is a
29:01 n and the most common cocation
29:03 especially for our purposes writing task
29:06 two essays educational establishments so
29:08 it should come as no surprise that when
29:12 you are asked about education you are
29:13 going to be writing about schools you're
29:15 going to be writing about universities
29:18 so you can use educational
29:20 establishments instead of school as a
29:23 synonym for example universities are
29:26 important educational establishments I
29:28 looked at our students essays and
29:30 they're using them either incorrectly or
29:32 using it in a completely different
29:33 context and I don't want to confuse
29:35 anyone so I'm not going to show you
29:37 those the next word is expenditure which
29:40 means money spent on something synonyms
29:44 are spending costs or outlay this is a
29:47 noun and is often Associated for TAS two
29:51 writing with government expenditure or
29:54 public expenditure public expenditure is
29:56 just another way of saying government
29:58 expenditure because govern governments
30:01 use our public money for example
30:04 government expenditure on Health Care is
30:06 increasing but you don't have to just
30:08 use it for government or public
30:10 expenditure you could talk about company
30:13 expenditure but I wouldn't use it for
30:16 individuals spending money on things
30:18 it's a little bit inappropriate in that
30:21 context so what our student did was they
30:23 said however the increase in expenditure
30:25 of organizations and monotony among
30:28 employees are the main drawbacks of
30:30 compulsory uniforms so they're talking
30:33 about corporations companies spending
30:34 money on uniforms how exciting now
30:36 you'll certainly exceed your required
30:39 band score with this next one exceed
30:41 this means to go beyond a limit or a
30:44 standard or a number synonyms are
30:47 surpass go beyond or I do it is a verb
30:50 and the common collocations are exceed
30:53 expectations or exceed a number for
30:55 example the team managed to exceed
30:58 expectations this quarter and essays in
31:01 conclusion many athletes nowadays use
31:03 illegal substances to win the
31:06 competition and exceed their physical
31:08 capabilities the next one I'll just go
31:10 quickly through it because it's very
31:12 similar to another word that we used
31:14 harassment which is a synonym of a word
31:17 we already mentioned which is bullying
31:19 this means aggressive pressure or
31:22 intimidation synonyms are bullying
31:25 intimidation or abuse it is a NN and
31:27 common collocations are workplace
31:30 harassment and sexual harassment so
31:33 bullying is normally associated with
31:36 school whereas harassment is normally
31:39 more associated with the workplace and
31:41 Society in general although bullying can
31:43 occur anywhere for example the company
31:46 has policies to prevent workplace
31:48 harassment and in our essays for
31:50 instance in 2016 many supporters of
31:52 Donald Trump lost their trust in him
31:55 after newspapers uncovered the story of
31:57 the sexual harassment allegations
31:59 against him just be very careful with
32:03 this word because often I hear I
32:05 students talking about harassment in
32:09 terms of things that are difficult um so
32:12 I have act real emails from students
32:15 talking about the IELTS test harassing
32:18 them or us harassing them because we've
32:20 given them low scores because they're
32:22 not very good at writing that's not
32:24 harassment that's just your life is
32:26 difficult because you're not very good
32:27 at something normally because you're
32:30 lazy and the next one is more a linking
32:32 word which doesn't come under your
32:35 vocabulary score it comes under your
32:37 cohesion and coherence score but I'll
32:40 mention it because it is a useful word
32:43 to know and it could help you improve
32:45 your coherence and cohesion score and
32:47 that word is hence and it basically
32:50 means for this reason or therefore
32:54 synonyms are therefore thus and so we
32:57 would use so more in informal speaking
32:59 than and academic writing this is an
33:02 adverb and a common collocation is hence
33:05 the need or hence the need for for
33:07 example the project is behind schedule
33:10 hence the need for extra workers and you
33:12 can also use it at the beginning of a
33:14 sentence instead of therefore just like
33:16 our student did hence the more sports
33:18 facilities will be available to the
33:20 public the more people could do Sports
33:23 and thus stay healthy so they've used
33:25 two different synonyms of therefore
33:27 hence and thus within the same sentence
33:30 but remember the most important thing
33:33 for linking words is not that you show a
33:36 wide variety of them it's that they are
33:38 accurate and appropriate so if you're
33:41 unsure about linking words don't
33:43 memorize 50 of them and just shove them
33:45 into your essay and hope for the best
33:48 it's better to repeat a simple word that
33:50 is correct than change it to something
33:52 that is wrong and the next word is
33:55 informative and this means to provide
33:58 useful information synonyms are are
34:02 educational enlightening and instructive
34:04 this is an adjective and is normally
34:07 used within educational contexts to
34:11 describe programs or courses or TV shows
34:14 or documentaries things like that so an
34:16 example sentence would be the lecture
34:19 was very informative and helped me
34:21 understand the topic better from our
34:23 essays kids who watch informative and
34:25 educational shows learn to solve
34:29 problems and develop strong mental math
34:31 skills the next word is infrastructure

34:36 structures needed for a society or
34:39 organization a synonym of this word is a
34:42 system and this is a noun common
34:44 collocations are transport

34:53 for economic growth and from our essays
34:55 in conclusion the advantages of the

35:00 all other concerns are improved quality
35:02 of life of people and good
35:05 infrastructure the next word is insights
35:07 this means the understanding or
35:10 knowledge about something synonyms are
35:12 understandings perceptions and intuition

35:21 into for example the survey provided
35:24 valuable insights into customer
35:27 preferences and from our essays lessons

35:31 valuable insights into being good
35:34 members of society the next word is
35:37 insufficient which means not enough

35:42 synonyms are inadequate lacking and
35:44 deficient this is an adjective and the
35:47 most common collocation is insufficient
35:50 funds or insufficient resources for
35:53 example the project was cancelled due to
35:55 insufficient funds and from our essays
35:58 the main downsides are higher cost of
36:01 living for most and insufficient support
36:04 for the poorest the next word is innate
36:08 and this means existing from birth or is
36:10 natural for example the ability to
36:14 breathe is innate synonyms are inborn
36:16 inherent and natural this is an
36:18 adjective and the most common
36:21 collocation is innate ability for
36:23 example she has an innate ability to
36:25 learn languages quickly and from her
36:27 essays a person can only reach the
36:30 highest level in the profession if they
36:32 combine their innate ability with hard
36:34 work often you will get questions that
36:38 will ask things like does hard work lead
36:42 to success or is it only people who are
36:44 born with certain talents that are
36:46 successful so you can use this word
36:49 innate the next word is inappropriate no
36:52 it is actually inappropriate and this
36:55 means not suitable or proper it's just a
36:57 very very formal way of saying something
37:00 is bad or not right synonyms are
37:04 unsuitable improper and unfit this is an
37:05 adjective and the most common
37:09 collocation is inappropriate behavior
37:12 this is often used to describe someone
37:15 doing something their behavior is bad

37:24 on the other hand employees who always
37:27 wear uniforms might end up wearing
37:29 inappropri rate clothes for their work
37:32 the next high Lev word is Merit and this
37:34 means the quality of being good or
37:38 worthy synonyms include worth value and
37:40 Excellence this is a nine and common
37:43 collocations are academic Merit or on
37:46 Merit a good way to remember this word
37:48 is not what the word means it's what it
37:51 doesn't mean the opposite of that word
37:54 I'm sure you know someone who got a job
37:56 or a position in a company because they
38:00 are the idiot nephew or the daughter of
38:02 the owner of the company that is not
38:06 based on Merit that is based on who they
38:08 are an example sentence is scholarships
38:12 are often given based on academic Merit
38:14 so you deserve to get a scholarship
38:17 because of how smart you are and in our
38:20 essays this essay completely disagrees
38:21 with the statement because selecting
38:25 employees should be based on Merit their
38:28 worth their value how good they are at
38:30 the job so it can be used in the
38:33 academic context but it can also be used
38:37 in a more formal professional context as
38:39 well the next word is one of my favorite
38:41 words in the whole world it is mediocre
38:45 and this means not very good pretty
38:48 average synonyms include average
38:51 ordinary and so so if you want to talk
38:53 about it informally this is an adjective
38:55 and there aren't many common
38:57 collocations for this but a good way to
38:59 remember it is it's one of the most
39:01 horrible things that you could ever say
39:04 to anyone I'm a very popular person on
39:07 YouTube so I get horrible things said to
39:09 me every day in the comments if somebody
39:13 says that I'm terrible or useless or the
39:15 worst teacher that has ever existed on
39:17 the internet I don't really worry if
39:19 somebody says that but if somebody calls me
39:20 me
39:23 mediocre like that's horrible to say
39:25 that to someone you're the same as
39:27 everyone else an example sentence is his
39:30 performance was mediocre not meeting
39:32 expectations and from our essays for
39:34 example the world is filled with many
39:37 Star athletes who started off as
39:39 mediocre in the beginning but they
39:41 Challenge and push themselves to their
39:43 limit which ultimately helped them to
39:46 attain the greatest version of
39:47 themselves so if you want to really
39:50 really annoy me and upset me just write
39:52 this video as mediocre in the comments
39:55 the next one is the opposite of mediocre
39:58 it is notable and this means worthy of
40:01 attention or important synonyms are
40:04 remarkable significant or noteworthy
40:06 this is an adjective and common
40:09 collocations are a notable achievement
40:11 if you're talking about some achievement
40:13 that somebody has made or some kind of
40:15 scientific discovery or technological
40:18 advancement a notable exception so if
40:20 you're talking about I believe this this
40:22 this this and then you want to talk
40:26 about a counterargument or another side
40:28 to the point that you're making you
40:30 could say a notable exception is and a
40:32 notable example so you're going to be
40:34 giving at least two examples in your
40:37 essays so you could write a notable
40:39 example here's an example sentence her
40:41 notable achievements in science earned
40:44 her several Awards and in our essay in
40:46 conclusion although well-known
40:48 individuals earn big amounts of money
40:50 from sponsors notable people's lives
40:52 will be in danger because evil-minded
40:55 people will harm them next one is a very
40:57 useful word numerous which means many in
41:00 number synonyms include many several
41:03 various and this is an adjective common
41:06 collocations are numerous times for
41:08 example she has traveled to Paris
41:11 numerous times and in our essay the
41:13 majority of the chief positions in
41:15 business organizations are occupied by
41:17 males despite the fact that more than
41:19 half of the workforce in numerous
41:22 developed Nations is made up of women so
41:24 when you are using this you might use it
41:28 in your explanations or your examples
41:29 when you're explaining something you can
41:31 say that this has happened numerous
41:34 times or there are numerous examples of
41:35 this happening you don't have to do that
41:37 for every essay just have it in your
41:40 toolkit the next word is peers peers are
41:43 people of the same age so for example my
41:47 son's peers are 9-year-olds or people
41:49 that normally do the same job and are at
41:52 the same level they have the same status
41:55 synonyms include equals colleagues and
41:57 contemporaries this is a nine and common
42:01 collocations are peer pressure and their
42:03 peers so we will often use this word
42:06 when we are comparing people within the
42:08 same group together for example
42:10 adolescents often face peer pressure
42:12 from their peers to conform to group
42:15 norms and in her essay for instance
42:16 several Studies have shown that kids are
42:19 more likely to outperform their peers on
42:22 tests when they watch educational shows
42:25 very very useful for comparing for
42:28 explaining for giving examples the next
42:30 word is extremely useful because it can
42:32 be used to describe pretty much anything
42:35 and can be used as a synonym for so many
42:38 different things and it is one of the
42:40 most mispronounced words in the English
42:42 language let's see how I do with it
42:45 phenomenon this means something that
42:48 happens or exists especially something
42:51 unusual or interesting synonyms include
42:54 event occurrence and happening this is a
42:57 nine and common collocations are n
42:59 natural phenomenon you could use natural
43:02 phenomenon to describe global warming
43:05 for example or a social phenomenon so
43:08 something that people have started to do
43:11 or you go to a new country and you're
43:13 like oh that's an interesting social
43:15 phenomenon a thing that is happening
43:16 that I've never noticed before for
43:19 example I recently traveled to a country
43:22 where every restaurant you go to uh
43:25 parents would give their children iPads
43:28 and phones and allow them to to play
43:31 music and games at full blast it's like
43:33 that's an interesting phenomenon it also
43:35 allows you to be diplomatic and polite
43:37 so an example sentence the northern
43:39 lights are a natural phenomenon that
43:42 attracts many visitors it is a thing in
43:45 the sky that is natural a natural
43:48 phenomenon in our essays this phenomenon
43:51 may result in younger people being
43:54 apathetic towards politics and election
43:56 results that do not reflect public
43:58 opinion so you could use this in your
44:01 introduction you could use this in topic
44:02 sentences you could use this in
44:04 explanations and you could use this in
44:06 your conclusion if you are really stuck
44:08 for a synonym maybe you have repeated
44:10 the word a few times and you're like how
44:13 do I change this you could say this
44:15 phenomenon but make sure it is a
44:17 phenomenon the next word is proportion
44:20 which means a part of a whole or a
44:21 percentage so if you're talking about a
44:23 percentage of something you could use
44:26 proportion synonyms are part portion or
44:28 fraction and this is a Nar and common
44:31 qualifcations are large proportion or
44:33 small proportion for example a large
44:36 proportion of the population supports
44:38 the new law and from our essays some
44:40 believe that a certain proportion of
44:43 these vacancies should be allocated to
44:45 females this is also very useful for
44:47 task one academic if you're doing the
44:50 academic module the next word is revenue
44:52 and this means income from business or
44:54 government activities in the form of tax
44:57 that's how governments make money
45:00 synonyms are Income earnings and profits
45:02 although be very careful because revenue
45:04 and profits are two very very different
45:06 things if youve ever run a business you
45:09 should know that word type is a nine and
45:11 common collocations are annual revenue
45:14 revenue from so revenue from taxes
45:17 revenue from I VIP courses if we're
45:20 lucky and tax revenue example sentence
45:23 the company's annual revenue has grown
45:25 steadily and from our essay this is
45:27 because with economic progress States
45:29 generate lots of Revenue which can be
45:31 used to provide high quality services
45:34 such as free education so often you will
45:37 get questions asking about government
45:39 services education is often a government
45:41 service depending on which country you
45:43 live in health is sometimes a government
45:46 service not if you live in America but a
45:49 lot of questions can be boiled down to
45:51 should the government provide this
45:54 service or is the government providing a
45:56 good enough service and you can talk
45:59 about Revenue coming in from different
46:01 things and high revenue is being spent
46:03 the next word is resent and this means
46:06 to feel angry or bitter about something
46:09 synonyms are begrudge disliked or be
46:12 annoyed by this is a verb and common
46:15 collocations are resent the implication
46:18 or resent the fact for example he began
46:20 to resent the implication that he was
46:22 not working hard enough and from our
46:23 essay parents should encourage their
46:25 children to stay at home more rather
46:27 than force them so that their children
46:29 will not resent them so it's a very easy
46:32 way to talk about things that people
46:35 dislike for example I really resent the
46:38 fact that I picked so many of these
46:40 words and I didn't think it was going to
46:42 take this long to make this video the
46:45 next word is sector which means parts or
46:48 divisions of a larger group or area
46:51 synonyms are divisions segments or areas

46:58 means work in the government the private
47:01 sector those people who actually do all
47:03 the work means that you work not for the
47:05 government for real businesses and then
47:08 we have the voluntary sector people who
47:10 volunteer their time they don't work for
47:12 the government they don't work for real
47:15 businesses they work for Charities for
47:17 example the public sector employs many
47:19 people in healthc care and education and
47:21 from her essays others think that they

49:29 a verb and a common collocation for this
49:32 word is to thrive in for example
49:34 children thrive in a loving and

49:38 essays for this reason I believe that
49:40 some inborn qualities play a crucial
49:44 part for people to thrive in some areas
49:47 like music or Sports so if you think
49:50 about the area or the context that that

50:06 Thrive the next word you might not think
50:09 is a highle word and it is unsafe you
50:11 might think that this is a low-level
50:13 word because you know it you know how to
50:16 use it and it is quite a short common
50:18 word but if you go to Cambridge
50:21 dictionary. org online pop in on safe
50:23 you'll see that this is a C1 word that's
50:26 a very very useful point to make because
50:29 many of you think that highlevel words
50:32 are these big unknowable unusable words
50:34 that you've never heard before that's
50:37 often not the case often you know way

50:50 very common collocation are unsafe
50:52 conditions for example the building was
50:55 evacuated due to unsafe conditions and
50:58 from our essay the second reason behind
51:00 the negativity of being a star is that
51:02 it creates an unsafe environment that
51:05 may endanger the star's mental health so
51:07 unsafe conditions unsafe environment
51:09 when you're talking about dangerous
51:11 things often that will come up in task
51:14 two and a very very appropriate word for
51:18 our last word unwind cuz I'm definitely

51:55 presents complicated information in an easily
51:57 easily digestible
51:58 digestible
52:01 form so now that you know what those
52:03 words are I want you now to think about
52:05 why are you watching this video you're
52:08 not watching this video to boost your
52:10 vocabulary you're watching this video to
52:12 get the a score that you need and let me
52:14 tell you the worst thing that you could
52:17 do right now if you want to improve your
52:20 IELTS writing score the worst thing you
52:23 can do is take those words and try and
52:25 insert as many of those words as
52:27 possible into into your essay and I want
52:30 to prove that to you using data and a
52:31 really cool software tool that you can
52:35 use to analyze your own essays and I'm
52:37 going to take the essays from here ielt
52:40 18 and I'm going to show you just how
52:45 many band 789 c1c2 words they actually
52:48 use in their essays that have been
52:50 produced by Cambridge examiners so if we
52:53 have a look here what I've done is I've
52:56 used this amazing Tool uh called text
52:58 and insector text inspector does a lot
53:00 of different things but one of the
53:03 things that it does is you can add in a
53:06 bunch of text so I've taken the 100
53:08 essays from our band 7 8 and N students
53:10 and what it will do is it will
53:13 analyze all of the words and categorize
53:19 the words into A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 and
53:21 this was the tool I also used to
53:24 actually get the words so for example
53:27 here's a list of all the C1 words here's
53:30 all a list of all the C2 words but the
53:33 really really interesting thing about
53:36 this data is that out of all the words
53:38 used only
53:43 3.2% of the words are C2 and only
53:48 6.04% of the words are C1 what does that
53:51 tell you more than 90% of the words used
53:56 in those band S 8 and N essays are A1 A2
53:58 B B1 B2 now many of you might be
54:00 thinking Chris you're famous for telling
54:02 people to simplify their language and
54:05 not include too many highlevel words
54:08 maybe your students this is what their
54:12 essays look like but real b seven 8 and9
54:15 essays don't actually look like that so
54:17 what I've done is I've taken three
54:21 essays from this book Cambridge 18 these
54:24 are essays that have been produced by
54:27 very high level examiners and put into
54:30 their book so let's see what their
54:33 essays look like
54:37 1.31% of their words were C2
54:42 3.67% of their words were C1 around 95%
54:47 of their words are A1 A2 B1 B2 and the
54:50 majority of their words are A1 and A2
54:53 more than half and this isn't just I's
54:55 essays you can take any great writing
54:59 like I taken George Orwell essays who is
55:02 probably the greatest writer of the 20th
55:05 century and the graph looks like this
55:08 I've taken academic Journal articles
55:10 from a university days I've taken the
55:13 financial times the Wall Street Journal
55:16 probably the best writing of any
55:19 newspapers it looks like this so when
55:21 you go on to your social media accounts
55:23 you go on to Instagram you go on to Tik
55:26 Tok and some guy is giving you a list of
55:29 C1 and C2 words and telling you that
55:32 your essays are not good enough if your
55:35 essays aren't packed full of these words
55:37 just ask yourself a question who do you
55:39 think knows more the person that runs
55:42 the most successful online I course in
55:45 the world Cambridge examiners George
55:48 Orwell the people who write articles for
55:50 the financial times in the Wall Street
55:53 Journal or some clown on Tik Tok or
55:55 Instagram so you're probably thinking no
55:57 well what do I do do now you've given me
56:00 this list of high Lev words how am I
56:02 actually going to use them in my essay
56:06 to improve my score am I saying not to
56:10 use C1 and C2 words no what I'm saying
