How to learn IELTS topic vocabulary

IELTS tests the same topics again and again: education, the environment, health, technology, work, crime, the media and more. Knowing the key words for each topic helps you understand Reading and Listening texts and gives you more to say in Speaking and Writing.

Tips

Learn words in chunks, not alone. Learn the word family (sustain, sustainable, sustainability). Use new words within 24 hours, and review each unit after a day, a week and a month.
