USING SYNONYMS TO IMPROVE VOCABULARY RANGE


One of the marking criteria in the IELTS Speaking test is called 'Lexical Range',
which means the examiner will be considering the range of vocabulary you have
shown in your answers.
Therefore, try to use synonyms in places of repeating keywords, as shown in
Tapescript 2 of the above exercise. This will demonstrate a wider range of
vocabulary.
