Foreign language instruction should begin in kindergarten

Write down words to use

The idea

Vocabulary is obviously important in IELTS and so one thing to do is write down some words you want to use.

Does it work?

Don’t just think words. Think phrases and spoken language

It can do.  If you get the right sort of topic, you can sometimes brainstorm some good vocabulary. So if you get “Describe a musician” you could write “play an instrument” ” go to a concert” “concert hall” “be a virtuoso” “piece of music” “orchestra” etc. If you are going to do this, it’s probably best for a familiar topic for which you know you have lots of words/phrases.
