IELTS Vocabulary
Vocabulary is a key part of both IELTS Speaking and Writing, but higher scores come from using words naturally, not memorising lists. Examiners look for accurate, topic-appropriate language used in context. This page brings together IELTS vocabulary by topic, including speaking vocabulary, writing vocabulary, and common collocations. Use it as a central reference to build practical language you can apply confidently in the exam.
How to use IELTS vocabulary in the exam
Focus on using familiar words accurately before trying more advanced vocabulary. In both Speaking and Writing, clear meaning and natural phrasing matter more than rare or memorised expressions.
