IELTS Writing VOCABULARY | SYNONYMS for Commonly Used NOUNS

Hi there! It's Asiya and today I've prepared for you synonyms for some of the most common nouns used in IELTS Writing. This video will help you improve your Lexical Resource Score or the score for your vocabulary which weighs 25 percent of your IELTS writing score. Learning synonyms is a great way to show the examiner that you have a wide range of vocabulary and that you can use less common words. And you need to show both in order to get Band 7 plus. But learning a long list of words alone is not going to do you any good unless you know what each word means and how to use it in a sentence correctly. That's what I'm going to show you today and if you like this video I have other videos about IELTS vocabulary one which contains a PDF list of synonyms for most common adjectives used in IELTS writing.
