IELTS TOEFL Vocabulary Building

Vocabulary is the backbone of any language. In order to improve your lexical range, you need to not only learn new words, but also how to properly use them in context and with proper syntax.

In this video, we look at some ways you can work on expanding your vocabulary base farther and more quickly. We look at where to find new words, what to do with them, how to use chunking, and which words you should focus on in terms of language tests.

✅ Check out our exclusive e-book IELTS Writing Samples: Edited, Assessed & Scored, which contains 40 writing samples, including summaries and essays with full edits, comprehensive notes, and full analysis and score.

Thanks for the useful video Adam,
expressions:
Up in the air = if a matter is uncertain
in the air = it is perhaps about to happen or happening
out of thin air = from nowhere or from nothing
put on airs = to act in a way that shows one thinks one is better than other people
clear the air = to remove the bad feelings between people
on the air = being broadcast on radio or television.

Thank you so much for this useful lesson have a nice day .

[elbeck]

If something up in the air, it means that issue or plan still to be settled unresolved or with unknown resolt.
For example:My Ielts preparation study plan is still up in the air.

Most of the idioms at the end of video are not beneficial to IELTS test takers except for one or maximum two.

[abhishekmishra]

Thanks sir, you made me interested in english . I am using betty Azar's book you told for grammar is very lucid to understand for a beginner. Are the books by Cambridge publication(Michael McCarthy & Felicity O'Dell) good for vocabulary/phrasal verb/idioms/collocations. please suggest.

[philippedjientcheu]

Another big THANK for this informative video lesson, I have one question though, can we use these expressions for the IELTS Writing task 2? I want to try on my own using those expressions / the program was on air on the radio when they said the country's economic outlook was up in the air and then the investors could not come up with £ 1 million out of thin air to restore the nation. How does that sound ?

[muqirborjigin]

It’s been a while! Now I think I can understand better then before since I did some work for my English foundation.
Always and on, I like your classes all the time!

[leonrique]

The volume is a little bit low, but great video as always.

[abhilashthomas]

Turn up volume please, can't able to hear

[MdZakir-szmf]

Please make a video on using perfect and prefect progressive infinitive usage.

[stephenjohn]

Great lesson Adam!
Turn up (phrasal verb)
Adam must turn the volume up while recording his videos.

[elbeck]

I mean "result" not "result" sorry for mistake

[elbeck]

God damn it but it's true it's still up in the air.
