VOCABULARY How important is developing vocabulary knowledge in order to have success on the IELTS exam?

What does it mean “to know a word”? – Meaning – Pronunciation – Grammar – Collocations (a word or phrase that is often used with another word or phrase, in a way that sounds correct to native speakers; e.g. “to do homework”, not “to make homework”) – Synonyms – Antonyms

Word: concept Meaning: an idea or principle Pronunciation: /ˈkɒn.sept/ Example sentence: It is very difficult to define the concept of beauty.difficult to define the concept of beauty Grammar: noun [C][C] Collocations: basic/simple/general + concept concept + of Synonym: idea, notion, thought Antonym: reality, proof

IELTS Collocation This refers to words (often two or three) that are commonly placed together. There may be grammatical reasons for this, but there may not be. It may be that through long-term usage, it just sounds correct. It is one of the most important things to understand and practice when you learn the English language. Here is an example of some common verb-noun combinations to illustrate: To make the bed / money / a noise To catch a cold / a bus / a fish To come late / on time / to a decision To do homework / the shopping / nothing
