Right, I think I’ve gone on long enough for one lesson. Before I let you go, let’s briefly review what we’ve learned. First of all, it is important to understand what Lexical Resource really means – and that doesn’t mean using big, obscure words. In fact, there are no “required words” for your test and anyone who tries to convince you that you “need to know these 5 words” is either a liar or a fool, and quite frankly you deserve better than that.

Instead, you need a wide range of vocabulary that covers lots of common topics. You should aim to learn these words from context so that you can use them accurately. That means getting the meaning right and also using them alongside words to which they commonly collocate. Also, keep in mind that your vocabulary for the speaking and writing tests might differ slightly because you need more formal words in the written test and slightly less formal ones in the speaking test.

Constantly build your passive vocabulary word lists by reading and listening. Then move these words into your active vocabulary by using them when speaking or writing.
To improve faster, when reading, listening or watching English material, try to capture new words in a phrasebook. If you have time add the context too.
The next time you write an essay, review it and look for opportunities to add the words from your list into your text.
Likewise, when speaking try to incorporate your new vocab into your conversations, don’t force them though because it will sound odd!
Idioms can be extracted from films and English podcasts, however, I’d recommend audio material because there are no visual clues, making listening a little harder.

Active reading is a great habit to develop and a vital exam preparation skill. Active reading is where you circle, underline and mark the text you are reading, so as to ease comprehension.
