INTRΟDUCTIΟN
In simple words, Lexical Resource is vocabulary. Adding useful vocabulary is a must for your test. However, it’s important to remember that examiners do not expect you to always write uncommon, difficult, or fancy words. Instead, they expect you to use words that find close association and relevancy to the topic. For example, instead of writing “development in technology,” you can write the more concise and relevant phrase “technical advancement.”
Below we present the lexical resources, which are held by the CLARIN-D centers.

Lexical resources are collections of lexical items with additional linguistic information and/or classification of these items. Commonly encountered types of lexical items are words, multi-word units and morphemes.

If you have studied your speaking or writing for some time, you have probably heard of Lexical Resource, but perhaps you don’t quite know what it means or how to prepare for it. This is totally understandable because actually it is complex and frequently misunderstood.
Essentially, “lexical resource” means your use of words. It comes from “lexis,” which means all the words in a language, but you probably know this by a more common term: “vocabulary.”

Vocabulary is the first thing we learn when studying any language. Before you learn grammar, spelling, pronunciation, punctuation, and all the other stuff, we usually begin to study a language by learning vocabulary.

Naturally, as your test is a language test, a big part of it is related to your use of vocabulary. In your writing and your speaking, you will be assigned 25% of your score based on your performance in Lexical Resource.

But this is where we begin to have some difficulties. Most students and many teachers of your tend to have a misconception about the importance of vocabulary. They believe that you have to use the most difficult and obscure words possible in order to get a good score.

This is just not true at all. In fact, it is a horrible approach to your and I sincerely hope that, after reading this article, none of you will continue to believe this. It is a big reason why so many people continue to struggle with your, growing increasingly frustrated at their inability to improve their score despite learning lots and lots of words.
In this course work, I’m going to teach you everything you need to know about Lexical Resource. I will first explain what it means, then tell you some common problems that people face with it. We’ll look at how it affects your score, what the differences are between vocabulary for your speaking and writing, and then finally I will talk about how to learn vocabulary effectively.
While you can work hard to score more, there are also things you can do to save deductions to your score. I’ll explore this in more detail below:

Repeating/reusing words

Repeating or overusing a word can harm your speaking score as it won’t show off your range of vocabulary. For example, instead of repeating the word ‘student’, you can use substitutions like ‘learner’, ‘scholar’, ‘pupil’, etc.

Copying words directly from the task/question

Paraphrasing is the key. Do not copy the words from the task or question. Instead, use synonyms. See the example below.

Question: Are there any colors you dislike?

Most common answer: Yes, I dislike brown. (dislike: a copy from the question)

Best answer: Yes, I am not fond of brown.

Using ineffective paraphrasing
While some of us underdo it, others overdo paraphrasing. We must accept the fact that not all the words that exist in English have a substitute. Forcing a substitution may mean that the whole context and meaning of a sentence might change. For example, “teenagers” and “youngsters” are two words that some people might use interchangeably. Although the words have similar meaning, the meaning is not the same: “teenagers” are people between 13-19 years old, whereas “youngsters” might include people up to 30 years of age.
