Chapter Six:
Useful expressions
What is the importance of using varied expressions in IELTS Speaking?
IELTS Speaking evaluates a candidate’s ability to express thoughts clearly. This
implies that the listener must understand every idea conveyed. This
understanding can be attained when a candidate accurately employs items of
vocabulary, phrases, and other expressions. Further, these expressions must be
used in such a way that the utterance will sound natural and not memorised.
Lexical resource is another criterion evaluating the candidate’s speaking skill. In
this facet, your ability to use higher-level words, collocations, and idiomatic
expressions are looked for by the examiners. You have a minimum of 11 minutes
to showcase the English you know, so you should be using complex words and
not simple ones.
To get a band score of 7, a candidate must have a wide range of vocabulary and
use it flexibly to explain varied topics, use less common idiomatic expressions,
and show awareness of style and collocation, with less inappropriate choices.
The said requirements are not achieved overnight. Thus, a constant review of
your lexical bank can help.
