Vocabulary does not only contribute to 25% of your marks for IELTS writing and speaking, it also plays a key role in listening and reading. Considering that there is a wide range of topics that you may encounter in your IELTS exam, our IELTS content team have put together 10 topic toolkits to help to build your vocabulary for an IELTS exam.
Each of these toolkits contains resources specific to a particular topic, including:
