    local graduates were thrilled by the

    Advantage Prime disadvantage Prime

    solution Prime reason often in your
  • 00:03:26
    essays you'll be talking about these
  • 00:03:28
    things so if you want to describe
  • 00:03:29
    describe these things as the best or
  • 00:03:32
    most important you can add prime before
  • 00:03:35
    those words an example sentence is this
  • 00:03:37
    is a prime example of excellent customer
  • 00:03:40
    service and in our essays one student
  • 00:03:42
    wrote the prime disadvantage is that
  • 00:03:45
    these companies use the natural
  • 00:03:47
    resources of developing nations
  • 00:03:49
    recklessly which affects the environment
  • 00:03:51
    so a very very good topic sentence there
  • 00:03:54
    talking about advantages and
  • 00:03:56
    disadvantages but the great thing about
  • 00:03:58
    this word like many of the words on this
  • 00:04:00
    list is it can be used interchangeably
  • 00:04:03
    throughout your essays the next word is

    prone which means likely to do or
  • 00:04:08
    experience something synonyms are likely

    inclined and susceptible this is an
  • 00:04:14
    adjective and a common collocation is
  • 00:04:16
    prone to errors but it's not just prone
  • 00:04:19
    to errors the collocation will normally
  • 00:04:22
    be prone to but you can swap out errors
  • 00:04:26
    for other things that people are likely
  • 00:04:28
    to experience so an example sentence
  • 00:04:31
    children are prone to making mistakes
  • 00:04:34
    when they are learning and in our essays
  • 00:04:37
    we have thus people that have a diet
  • 00:04:40
    based on plants and seeds are more prone
  • 00:04:43
    to have a healthier life because they
  • 00:04:46

    next word is officials and this means

    people in Authority or people in the
  • 00:05:40
    government normally synonyms of this are

    officials these are people working in

    the government in our essay they wrote
  • 00:05:57
    in conclusion I do not support the
  • 00:05:58
    argument of new newspapers publishing
  • 00:06:01
    the information of government officials
  • 00:06:03
    so Tas two essays will often talk about
  • 00:06:07

  • 00:06:11

    wearing a uniform are that it brings
  • 00:06:57
    uniformity to the workplace and helps to
  • 00:07:00
    increase the output of companies and you

    citizens to try and get them to do
  • 00:08:42
    something another way to think about
  • 00:08:44
    this word is the approach of a carrot
  • 00:08:47
    and a stick so if you want a donkey to

    carrot to make it go forward an example
  • 00:08:58

    our essays many younger people find

    irrespective of and then after of will
  • 00:09:29

    our best and in our essays I believe

    that adult life brings more joy because
  • 00:09:41
    of Life fulfillment irrespective of more
  • 00:09:44
    responsibilities so this is very useful
  • 00:09:46
    when you are balancing two views or
  • 00:09:49
    considering two views often you will get
  • 00:09:53

    our essays it is the fundamental right
  • 00:10:31
    of every human being to have their

    the rest of this free video the next
  • 00:11:43
    word is disclose which means to make
  • 00:11:46
    something known synonyms are reveal show
  • 00:11:50
    and tell this is a verb and the most
  • 00:11:52
    common collocation is to disclose
  • 00:11:55
    information for example the company must
  • 00:11:57
    disclose any risk to its investors and
  • 00:12:01
    from our essays on the other hand
  • 00:12:02
    publishing details of Private Affairs
  • 00:12:05
    discloses the corruption of politicians
  • 00:12:08
    and make them accountable so again
  • 00:12:11
    you'll often be writing about the
  • 00:12:13
    government what is the government full
  • 00:12:15
    of in most countries corrupt politicians
  • 00:12:19
    so it's very easy to talk about
  • 00:12:21
    disclosing them the next word is
  • 00:12:23
    detrimental and it means to cause harm
  • 00:12:26
    or damage synonyms are harmful damaging
  • 00:12:29
    or just bad this is an adjective and the
  • 00:12:32
    most common collocation is detrimental
  • 00:12:35
    effect for example smoking has a
  • 00:12:37
    detrimental effect on health I looked
  • 00:12:40
    through the essays and the students did
  • 00:12:43
    use this a lot but not many of them used
  • 00:12:46
    it the most common way which is a
  • 00:12:49
    detrimental effect on health for example
  • 00:12:52
    or a detrial effect on the environment
  • 00:12:55
    Health the environment or just talking
  • 00:12:58
    about had effects on many different
  • 00:13:01
    things you'll often write about those in
  • 00:13:04
    your essays so think about having that
  • 00:13:06
    in your essay when you're talking about
  • 00:13:08
    negative or bad things the next word is
  • 00:13:11
    adolesence and these are young people
  • 00:13:13
    normally between the ages of 13 and 19
  • 00:13:16
    but it differs from person to person and
  • 00:13:18
    a synonym of this word is teenager this
  • 00:13:21
    is a noun and you have to be very very
  • 00:13:23
    careful with this word most students use
  • 00:13:26
    this because often you will be asked to
  • 00:13:28
    write about children so what they do is
  • 00:13:31
    they take the word children and just use
  • 00:13:34
    that as a synonym by inserting
  • 00:13:37
    adolescence now my two little boys one
  • 00:13:40
    is three and the other is nine they are
  • 00:13:43
    children but they are not adolescence so
  • 00:13:46
    you must only use this word if you are
  • 00:13:48
    writing about teenagers going through
  • 00:13:52
    that stage of life which is puberty for
  • 00:13:55
    example adolescents often experience
  • 00:13:57
    many changes in their lives and there
  • 00:13:59
    aren't that many common collocations so
  • 00:14:02
    I haven't added any and from our essays
  • 00:14:05
    although adolescence are free of
  • 00:14:07
    responsibilities adults enjoy their life
  • 00:14:09
    more because they are free to make their
  • 00:14:12
    own choices so I think this is a really
  • 00:14:14
    really good word to think about because
  • 00:14:16
    you're not just going to memorize these
  • 00:14:18
    words and insert them randomly into your
  • 00:14:22
    essays but what you're also not going to
  • 00:14:24
    do is take words that are similar so
  • 00:14:27
    they're synonyms and just replace those
  • 00:14:30
    words like children adolesence think
  • 00:14:33
    about the specific meaning of each of
  • 00:14:35
    these words and think about can you
  • 00:14:38
    actually use them accurately and
  • 00:14:40
    appropriately in your essays we're not
  • 00:14:42
    telling you just to memorize these words
  • 00:14:45
    and vomit them onto the page the next
  • 00:14:47
    word is accountable and this means
  • 00:14:50
    responsible for your actions synonyms
  • 00:14:53
    are responsible answerable and liable
  • 00:14:56
    this is an adjective and the most common
  • 00:14:58
    collocation are accountable to something
  • 00:15:01
    so to people or to a government or a
  • 00:15:05
    body unaccountable for something if
  • 00:15:08
    you're accountable for something it's
  • 00:15:10
    normally your actions for example
  • 00:15:13
    managers should be held accountable for
  • 00:15:16
    their decisions from our essay this
  • 00:15:18
    essay strongly disagrees with this view
  • 00:15:21
    because politicians build Public Image
  • 00:15:23
    through such news and they could be held
  • 00:15:26
    accountable for any wrongdoings I think
  • 00:15:29
    think the student meant to write should
  • 00:15:31
    be held accountable again you'll often
  • 00:15:33
    be asked to write about people in
  • 00:15:35
    Authority people like government
  • 00:15:37
    officials politicians teachers or just
  • 00:15:41
    everybody in general we are all
  • 00:15:43
    accountable for things that we do and
  • 00:15:46
    we're normally accountable to people
  • 00:15:49
    above us or people around us the next
  • 00:15:51
    word is addressed and this means to fix
  • 00:15:54
    an issue or fix a problem synonyms are
  • 00:15:57
    tackled deal with
  • 00:15:59
    handled fixed and this is a verb the
  • 00:16:02
    most common collocations are address a
  • 00:16:05
    problem or the problem or address an
  • 00:16:08
    issue or the issue for example the
  • 00:16:10
    teacher addressed the issue of bullying
  • 00:16:12
    in the classroom in that example we
  • 00:16:15
    didn't fix the issue it's not the
  • 00:16:17
    teacher completely resolving the issue
  • 00:16:20
    of bullying this means to bring it up to
  • 00:16:23
    address it to talk about it in the
  • 00:16:25
    classroom so just be careful with that
  • 00:16:27
    slight difference in meaning in our
  • 00:16:29
    essay the student said however this can
  • 00:16:32
    easily be addressed by making people
  • 00:16:35
    aware and also by making new laws so
  • 00:16:38
    they've used it to say addressed fixed
  • 00:16:41
    so you might use this for example in
  • 00:16:43
    problem solution essays addressing
  • 00:16:47
    problems in your Solutions part of your
  • 00:16:49
    essay but it can also be used very
  • 00:16:52
    flexibly and interchangeably with many
  • 00:16:55
    different ways of writing essays the
  • 00:16:57
    next word is affluence which means
  • 00:16:59
    having a lot of money synonyms are
  • 00:17:01
    wealthy Rich prosperous and this is an
  • 00:17:04
    adjective the most common collocations
  • 00:17:06
    are an affluent society or an affluent
  • 00:17:08
    country but you can also apply this to
  • 00:17:11
    people in our essays our student wrote
  • 00:17:13
    In addition not only does a country
  • 00:17:15
    become more powerful economically but
  • 00:17:17
    also many residents have an opportunity
  • 00:17:20
    to become affluent so it is a common
  • 00:17:22
    essay topic to write about money and
  • 00:17:25
    people becoming more successful you'll
  • 00:17:27
    have a lot of people furiously typing
  • 00:17:29
    success and money are not the same thing
  • 00:17:32
    it's not politics class or just trying
  • 00:17:34
    to help you get a higher score so you
  • 00:17:36
    can become more affluent and more
  • 00:17:39
    successful in your new country that's
  • 00:17:40
    why you're doing the I test right the

    essays investment banks in Sweden showed
  • 00:18:03
    a significant increase after they
  • 00:18:06
    decided to allocate at least 40% of

    awareness campaign aigns which are
  • 00:18:29
    campaigns by the government to make
  • 00:18:32
    people aware of a certain topic for
  • 00:18:34
    example we need to raise awareness about
  • 00:18:36
    the dangers of smoking and in our essays
  • 00:18:40
    however encouraging youth participation
  • 00:18:42
    in politics and awareness campaigns can
  • 00:18:45
    be possible solutions to tackle these
  • 00:18:47
    problems so these are very very useful
  • 00:18:49
    when talking about solutions to problems
  • 00:18:52
    often the best solution will be some
  • 00:18:55
    kind of awareness campaign think about

    affect a child's self-esteem and from
  • 00:19:32
    our essays the main reason behind this

    is the increase of cyber bullying and

    burden and financial burden for example
  • 00:19:51
    the financial burden of college can be
  • 00:19:53
    overwhelming for some students and from
  • 00:19:56
    our essays this is because they cannot
  • 00:19:57
    cope with the financial burden of buying
  • 00:19:59
    new clothes from stores such as Prada or
  • 00:20:02
    Gucci money makes the world go around
  • 00:20:05
    and a lot of task two essays will
  • 00:20:07
    involve you talking about money
  • 00:20:10
    Financial burdens but doesn't have to be

    about money you could also talk about

    the burden of being a father or a mother

    for example or the burden of being a
  • 00:20:21

    skills or talents this is a n and common
  • 00:20:38
    collocations are their capabilities or

    or a thing to do something for example
  • 00:20:48
    the company's technological capabilities
  • 00:20:51
    are impressive and from our essays in

    conclusion many athletes nowadays use
  • 00:20:56
    illegal substances to win the
  • 00:20:58
    competition and exceed their physical
  • 00:21:01
    capabilities so common topics are
  • 00:21:04
    technology and health you could easily
  • 00:21:07
    use capabilities to talk about company's
  • 00:21:11
    abilities or software's abilities or AI
  • 00:21:15
    abilities but you could also use the
  • 00:21:16
    word capabilities to talk about
  • 00:21:18
    someone's physical health and their
  • 00:21:21
    capabilities or you could use it for
  • 00:21:24
    education to talk about the capabilities
  • 00:21:26
    of students or maybe even teachers
  • 00:21:29
    we have abilities to next is a very
  • 00:21:30
    common word commonly which means
  • 00:21:33
    frequently or usually synonyms are often
  • 00:21:36
    usually and regularly this is an adverb
  • 00:21:39
    common collocations are commonly used
  • 00:21:43
    for example this word is commonly used
  • 00:21:45
    in academic writing and from our essays
  • 00:21:48
    for instance it can be commonly seen in
  • 00:21:51
    many schools the teachers introduce TVs
  • 00:21:53
    in their lectures to help students
  • 00:21:56
    understand complicated and difficult
  • 00:21:58
    subjects so if you're talking about time
  • 00:22:00

  • 00:22:03
    word next is consumption the act of

    technologies for producing energy you
  • 00:22:32
    will often use this word in these
  • 00:22:35
    collocations and from our essays one
  • 00:22:37
    student wrote this is because animals
  • 00:22:39
    are reproduced kept in small and
  • 00:22:41
    uncomfortable places and then killed and
  • 00:22:43
    sold to supermarkets and butchers for
  • 00:22:46
    human consumption so if anyone or
  • 00:22:49
    anything is using something within your
  • 00:22:53
    essays you could look through it and
  • 00:22:55
    think how could I use the word
  • 00:22:56
    consumption the next word is competence
  • 00:22:59
    and this is the ability to do something
  • 00:23:02
    well not the ability just to do
  • 00:23:04
    something but to do something well

  • 00:23:19
    in her excellent work and one student
  • 00:23:22
    wrote by allocating a certain percent of
  • 00:23:25
    high level positions to women companies
  • 00:23:28
    would reach a higher competence level so
  • 00:23:31
    often you'll be writing about maybe
  • 00:23:34
    disadvantaged groups of people for
  • 00:23:36
    example in this one women and you're
  • 00:23:38
    writing about their confidence in things
  • 00:23:41
    next is a word many of you already know
  • 00:23:43
    I'm sure which is corruption this means
  • 00:23:46
    dishonest or illegal Behavior by those
  • 00:23:49
    in power so think about a politician

  • 00:24:14
    details of the lavish spending of the
  • 00:24:17
    mayor of London while on a vacation were
  • 00:24:20
    revealed in the sun it promoted
  • 00:24:22
    questions from many sections of the
  • 00:24:24
    society eventually exposing his
  • 00:24:27
    corruption with the public money yes I
  • 00:24:29
    know that student made a few small
  • 00:24:32
    grammatical errors don't go crazy it's
  • 00:24:35
    not the student's fault maybe that
  • 00:24:37
    student had a little bit of corruption
  • 00:24:39
    in their school when they were growing
  • 00:24:41
    up and they didn't get the attention
  • 00:24:43

    negative aspects of something synonyms
  • 00:24:59
    are disadvantages negatives these are
  • 00:25:02
    both nouns and it won't be a surprise
  • 00:25:05
    that students use these as synonyms when
  • 00:25:08
    they are talking about advantages
  • 00:25:10
    disadvantages essays the most common
  • 00:25:12
    cocation for downsides are potential
  • 00:25:15

  • 00:25:30
    from our essays one of the major
  • 00:25:32
    drawbacks of this method is its high
  • 00:25:34
    cost another little trick there if you
  • 00:25:36
    get an advantages or disadvantages essay
  • 00:25:39
    very often an easy disadvantage is to
  • 00:25:42
    talk about high cost not always but does
  • 00:25:45
    help to have that in your toolkit and
  • 00:25:47
    the next word is similar but different
  • 00:25:50
    and that is deficiency now this isn't
  • 00:25:52
    really a disadvantage this is a lack of
  • 00:25:55
    something so there is a little bit of it
  • 00:25:57
    already but there is a lack of it
  • 00:26:00
    synonyms are a lack a shortage or an
  • 00:26:03

    else so you have a deficiency in
  • 00:26:18
    whatever you have a deficiency of for
  • 00:26:20
    example a vitamin deficiency can cause
  • 00:26:23
    health problems and from our essays the
  • 00:26:25
    main disadvantage of the vegetarian diet
  • 00:26:28
    is that without meat people may have a
  • 00:26:31
    protein deficiency obviously this can be
  • 00:26:34
    used for many different topics but
  • 00:26:37
    health is one of the main ones the next

    something with enthusiasm synonyms are
  • 00:26:46
    accept welcome and adopt this is a verb
  • 00:26:49
    and the most common collocation for our
  • 00:26:52
    purposes is to embrace change life is
  • 00:26:55
    basically the story of change when
  • 00:26:58
    you're writing you're going to be
  • 00:26:59
    writing about life so it's very easy to
  • 00:27:02
    use this collocation for example we need
  • 00:27:05
    to embrace change to stay competitive
  • 00:27:09

    new software will enhance our

    performance and one of our students
  • 00:27:52
    wrote for instance many psychologists
  • 00:27:54

  • 00:27:56
    with social anxiety to take drama
  • 00:27:58

    popular one emissions which means gases
  • 00:28:09
    or substances sent out into the air most
  • 00:28:12
    commonly for our purposes carbon dioxide

    emissions synonym of this is output and

    this is a noun common collocations are
  • 00:28:21
    carbon emissions or carbon dioxide

    emissions and reduce emissions for
  • 00:28:26
    example reducing carbon emiss missions
  • 00:28:28
    is vital to combat climate change and
  • 00:28:31
    from our essays the main advantage of
  • 00:28:33
    having a vegetarian diet is that carbon
  • 00:28:36
    emissions can be reduced for bonus
  • 00:28:38
    points take that sentence how would you
  • 00:28:41
    improve the vocabulary of that sentence
  • 00:28:44
    using the words we've already talked
  • 00:28:46
    about in this video put it in the
  • 00:28:48
    comments the next one is establishments
  • 00:28:51
    and this is a business or an
  • 00:28:53
    organization synonyms are institutions
  • 00:28:56
    organizations and firms terms this is a
  • 00:28:58
    n and the most common cocation
  • 00:29:01
    especially for our purposes writing task
  • 00:29:03
    two essays educational establishments so
  • 00:29:06
    it should come as no surprise that when
  • 00:29:08
    you are asked about education you are
  • 00:29:12
    going to be writing about schools you're
  • 00:29:13
    going to be writing about universities
  • 00:29:15
    so you can use educational
  • 00:29:18
    establishments instead of school as a
  • 00:29:20
    synonym for example universities are
  • 00:29:23
    important educational establishments I
  • 00:29:26
    looked at our students essays and
  • 00:29:28
    they're using them either incorrectly or
  • 00:29:30
    using it in a completely different
  • 00:29:32
    context and I don't want to confuse
  • 00:29:33
    anyone so I'm not going to show you
  • 00:29:35
    those the next word is expenditure which
  • 00:29:37
    means money spent on something synonyms
  • 00:29:40
    are spending costs or outlay this is a
  • 00:29:44
    noun and is often Associated for TAS two
  • 00:29:47
    writing with government expenditure or
  • 00:29:51
    public expenditure public expenditure is
  • 00:29:54
    just another way of saying government
  • 00:29:56
    expenditure because govern governments
  • 00:29:58
    use our public money for example
  • 00:30:01
    government expenditure on Health Care is
  • 00:30:04
    increasing but you don't have to just
  • 00:30:06
    use it for government or public
  • 00:30:08
    expenditure you could talk about company
  • 00:30:10
    expenditure but I wouldn't use it for
  • 00:30:13
    individuals spending money on things
  • 00:30:16
    it's a little bit inappropriate in that
  • 00:30:18
    context so what our student did was they
  • 00:30:21
    said however the increase in expenditure
  • 00:30:23
    of organizations and monotony among
  • 00:30:25
    employees are the main drawbacks of
  • 00:30:28
    compulsory uniforms so they're talking
  • 00:30:30
    about corporations companies spending
  • 00:30:33
    money on uniforms how exciting now
  • 00:30:34
    you'll certainly exceed your required
  • 00:30:36
    band score with this next one exceed
  • 00:30:39
    this means to go beyond a limit or a
  • 00:30:41
    standard or a number synonyms are
  • 00:30:44
    surpass go beyond or I do it is a verb
  • 00:30:47
    and the common collocations are exceed
  • 00:30:50
    expectations or exceed a number for
  • 00:30:53
    example the team managed to exceed
  • 00:30:55
    expectations this quarter and essays in
  • 00:30:58
    conclusion many athletes nowadays use
  • 00:31:01
    illegal substances to win the
  • 00:31:03
    competition and exceed their physical
  • 00:31:06
    capabilities the next one I'll just go
  • 00:31:08
    quickly through it because it's very
  • 00:31:10
    similar to another word that we used
  • 00:31:12
    harassment which is a synonym of a word
  • 00:31:14
    we already mentioned which is bullying
  • 00:31:17
    this means aggressive pressure or
  • 00:31:19
    intimidation synonyms are bullying
  • 00:31:22
    intimidation or abuse it is a NN and
  • 00:31:25
    common collocations are workplace
  • 00:31:27
    harassment and sexual harassment so
  • 00:31:30
    bullying is normally associated with
  • 00:31:33
    school whereas harassment is normally
  • 00:31:36
    more associated with the workplace and
  • 00:31:39
    Society in general although bullying can
  • 00:31:41
    occur anywhere for example the company
  • 00:31:43
    has policies to prevent workplace
  • 00:31:46
    harassment and in our essays for
  • 00:31:48
    instance in 2016 many supporters of
  • 00:31:50
    Donald Trump lost their trust in him
  • 00:31:52
    after newspapers uncovered the story of
  • 00:31:55
    the sexual harassment allegations
  • 00:31:57
    against him just be very careful with
  • 00:31:59
    this word because often I hear I
  • 00:32:03
    students talking about harassment in
  • 00:32:05
    terms of things that are difficult um so
  • 00:32:09
    I have act real emails from students
  • 00:32:12
    talking about the IELTS test harassing
  • 00:32:15
    them or us harassing them because we've
  • 00:32:18
    given them low scores because they're
  • 00:32:20
    not very good at writing that's not
  • 00:32:22
    harassment that's just your life is
  • 00:32:24
    difficult because you're not very good
  • 00:32:26
    at something normally because you're
  • 00:32:27
    lazy and the next one is more a linking
  • 00:32:30
    word which doesn't come under your
  • 00:32:32
    vocabulary score it comes under your
  • 00:32:35
    cohesion and coherence score but I'll
  • 00:32:37
    mention it because it is a useful word
  • 00:32:40
    to know and it could help you improve
  • 00:32:43
    your coherence and cohesion score and
  • 00:32:45
    that word is hence and it basically
  • 00:32:47
    means for this reason or therefore
  • 00:32:50
    synonyms are therefore thus and so we
  • 00:32:54
    would use so more in informal speaking
  • 00:32:57
    than and academic writing this is an
  • 00:32:59
    adverb and a common collocation is hence
  • 00:33:02
    the need or hence the need for for
  • 00:33:05
    example the project is behind schedule
  • 00:33:07
    hence the need for extra workers and you
  • 00:33:10
    can also use it at the beginning of a
  • 00:33:12
    sentence instead of therefore just like
  • 00:33:14
    our student did hence the more sports
  • 00:33:16
    facilities will be available to the
  • 00:33:18
    public the more people could do Sports
  • 00:33:20
    and thus stay healthy so they've used
  • 00:33:23
    two different synonyms of therefore
  • 00:33:25
    hence and thus within the same sentence
  • 00:33:27
    but remember the most important thing
  • 00:33:30
    for linking words is not that you show a
  • 00:33:33
    wide variety of them it's that they are
  • 00:33:36
    accurate and appropriate so if you're
  • 00:33:38
    unsure about linking words don't
  • 00:33:41
    memorize 50 of them and just shove them
  • 00:33:43
    into your essay and hope for the best
  • 00:33:45
    it's better to repeat a simple word that
  • 00:33:48
    is correct than change it to something
  • 00:33:50
    that is wrong and the next word is
  • 00:33:52
    informative and this means to provide
  • 00:33:55
    useful information synonyms are are
  • 00:33:58

    used within educational contexts to
  • 00:34:07
    describe programs or courses or TV shows

    or documentaries things like that so an
  • 00:34:14
    example sentence would be the lecture
  • 00:34:16
    was very informative and helped me
  • 00:34:19
    understand the topic better from our

    employees should be based on Merit their

    worth their value how good they are at
  • 00:38:28
    the job so it can be used in the

    in a more formal professional context as
  • 00:38:37

    and there aren't many common
  • 00:38:55
    collocations for this but a good way to

    horrible things that you could ever say
  • 00:39:01
    to anyone I'm a very popular person on
  • 00:39:04
    YouTube so I get horrible things said to
  • 00:39:07
    me every day in the comments if somebody
  • 00:39:09
    says that I'm terrible or useless or the
  • 00:39:13
    worst teacher that has ever existed on
  • 00:39:15
    the internet I don't really worry if
  • 00:39:17
    somebody says that but if somebody calls
  • 00:39:19
    me
  • 00:39:20
    mediocre like that's horrible to say
  • 00:39:23
    that to someone you're the same as
  • 00:39:25
    everyone else an example sentence is his
  • 00:39:27
    performance was mediocre not meeting
  • 00:39:30
    expectations and from our essays for
  • 00:39:32
    example the world is filled with many
  • 00:39:34
    Star athletes who started off as
  • 00:39:37
    mediocre in the beginning but they
  • 00:39:39
    Challenge and push themselves to their
  • 00:39:41
    limit which ultimately helped them to
  • 00:39:43
    attain the greatest version of
  • 00:39:46
    themselves so if you want to really
  • 00:39:47
    really annoy me and upset me just write
  • 00:39:50
    this video as mediocre in the comments
  • 00:39:52
    the next one is the opposite of mediocre
  • 00:39:55
    it is notable and this means worthy of
  • 00:39:58
    attention or important synonyms are
  • 00:40:01

  • 00:40:04
    this is an adjective and common
  • 00:40:06
    collocations are a notable achievement

    if you're talking about some achievement
  • 00:40:11
    that somebody has made or some kind of
  • 00:40:13
    scientific discovery or technological
  • 00:40:15
    advancement a notable exception so if

    you're talking about I believe this this
  • 00:40:20
    this this and then you want to talk
  • 00:40:22
    about a counterargument or another side
  • 00:40:26
    to the point that you're making you
  • 00:40:28
    could say a notable exception is and a
  • 00:40:30
    notable example so you're going to be
  • 00:40:32
    giving at least two examples in your
  • 00:40:34
    essays so you could write a notable
  • 00:40:37

    majority of the chief positions in
  • 00:41:13
    business organizations are occupied by

    males despite the fact that more than
  • 00:41:17
    half of the workforce in numerous
  • 00:41:19
    developed Nations is made up of women so
  • 00:41:22
    when you are using this you might use it
  • 00:41:24
    in your explanations or your examples
  • 00:41:28
    when you're explaining something you can
  • 00:41:29
    say that this has happened numerous
  • 00:41:31
    times or there are numerous examples of

    this happening you don't have to do that

    for every essay just have it in your
  • 00:41:37
    toolkit the next word is peers peers are

  • 00:42:10
    from their peers to conform to group
  • 00:42:12
    norms and in her essay for instance

    several Studies have shown that kids are
  • 00:42:16
    more likely to outperform their peers on
  • 00:42:19
    tests when they watch educational shows
  • 00:42:22

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

  • 00:56:12
