Are you studying for the IELTS exam?

Whether a General or Academic candidate, you can take advantage of the IELTS lessons presented on this blog and the sister blog, businessenglishace.com.

On Tuesday and Thursday, enjoy Extra IELTS tips to improve your chances for a high Band Score.

Make sure to download my IELTS Cheat Sheet just in case!


IELTS Vocabulary

As you probably know, building a strong vocabulary is one of the best moves you can make for the IELTS.

For IELTS Academic Task 1, you need to analyze a chart, graph or process.

Marginally is a great word you can use to talk about change. 



Example:

The production of widgets fell marginally between 1989 and 1999. 

Thus, there was only a slight or negligible change. 

Check out my eBook - Grow Your Vocabulary: 301 Useful Vocabulary Terms - if you  need to reinforce your skills.

IELTS Grammar

Do you know how to use Fewer and Less correctly in your sentences?




Answer:

We wear less clothing in hot weather. 

But...We wear fewer clothes in hot weather.

____________

credit:

Use fewer if you’re referring to people or things in the plural (e.g. houses, newspapers, dogs, students, children).

Use less when you’re referring to something that can’t be counted or doesn’t have a plural (e.g. money, air, time, music, rain).

Even though grammar is not explicitly graded on the exam, be sure to devote part of your IELTS preparation to studying your weak points of grammar.
