How to use these topic vocabulary lists
These vocabulary lists are not intended for you to go away and try to memorise all the different words and phrases. That's not what learning IELTS vocabulary is all about.
I have created them as a resource for you to use when answering practice questions on the respective topics.
Focus on the words and phrases you find most useful and most comfortable using. Add them to your vocabulary notebook and learn them properly, but don’t waste your time trying to memorise them all.

Testimonials
“I am very excited to have found such fabulous and detailed content. I commend your good work.” Jose M.
“Thanks for the amazing videos.
These are ‘to the point’, short videos, beautifully explained with practical
examples." Adari J.
"Hi Jacky, I bought a listening book from you this morning. You know what? I’m 100% satisfied. It’s super helpful. If I’d had the chance to read this book 7 years ago, my job would be very different now." Loi H.
"Hi Jacky, I recently
got my IELTS results and I was pleased to discover that I got an 8.5 score. I'm
firmly convinced your website and your videos played a strategic role in my
preparation. I was able to improve my writing skills thanks to the effective
method you provide. I also only relied on your tips regarding the reading
section and I was able to get a 9! Thank you very much." Giano
“After listening to your videos, I knew I had to ditch
every other IELTS tutor I'd been listening to. Your explanations are clear and
easy to understand. Anyways, I took the test a few weeks ago and my result came
back: Speaking 7, listening 9, Reading 8.5 and Writing 7 with an average band
score of 8. Thanks, IELTS Jacky." Laide Z.
