IELTS: Lexical Resources in Writing and Speaking

Lexical resources is one of the parameters from the IELTS parameter chart. Following are the types of lexical resources which should be used in both writing as well as in speaking module to score a good band. 
1.) Vocabulary: Try to add uncommon words  while writing an essay and while speaking. Search the synonyms for common words. 
For example: important.  This word can be written or spoken in the following manner: crucial, significant, vital, essential, necessary, etc. 
Note: use the words precisely and in accurate manner. 

2.) Idioms/ Idiomatic language: Idioms are used in speaking. However, idiomatic language and phrases are used in writing task 2. Unlike in speaking, we are not allowed to write idioms in writing essays or task 1 as they are in formal format. Conversely, speaking is informal.

3.) Linkers: These are the words which connect one idea with the other. For example, firstly, secondly, subsequently, however and many more. 
Note: Linkers play a crucial role in joining two ideas both same and opposite. Also, they show sequence (coherence and cohesion).

3.) Collocations: These are a set of words (often two or more) that are commonly placed together. These are some of the most important vocabulary needed for IELTS writing and speaking. These are essential for higher score.
Note: Collocations are of different types. These would be explained in detail in my next blog post. Some common examples are:
• throw a party
• raised a question
• keen interest
• fantastic idea
• round of applause
• complained bitterly.

Therefore, these are the types which are considered under the category of lexical resources.
