Check Your Vocabulary for English for the IELTS Examination



This workbook provides material to revise and build the vocabulary needed to pass the IELTS examination. It contains activities to help students prepare for the general training or academic modules of the IELTS exam. It comes with instructions and combines both self-study and classroom exercises.

I found this book excellent for the essay and not only. It gives you ideas on various subjects, and there is a very good chance you will encounter a similar one in the writing test - at least this was my case.

It also helps you moving words from the passive vocabulary - words that you know and understand, but do not use - in the active one, being able to include them in your essay and possibly in your speaking test (read the examples and the essays you write with loud voice - this way you can improve your speaking skills too.
