Ignoring the word
If you are still feeling “blocked” after checking prefixes, suffixes, and context, you may
need to simply “go around” a word, ignoring it while proceeding with the rest of the
passage. To practice this strategy, read IELTS passages and other English academic
writing. As you read, cross out or delete words that seem like they may not be
necessary. Then reread the passage without those words. If the meaning has changed,
put a few words back in, to make sure the meaning stays the same as the original.
This kind of practice helps you tell the difference between important and unimportant
words. Unimportant words on the IELTS can be ignored easily. More important words
can still be ignored too, if you carefully watch for other word forms, grammar, and
context.
