IELTS Vocabulary: band 7-9 phrases

 Here's a list of the good vocabulary from my 'climate change' essay:

• represents a major threat to
• tackle this issue
• reduce the human impact
• to prevent, or at least mitigate, climate change
• limit the carbon dioxide emissions
• impose “green taxes” on drivers
• other polluters
• invest in renewable energy production
• energy efficient
• voting for politicians who propose to tackle climate change
• the consequences will be disastrous
• not optimistic that we would be able to cope
• rise in sea levels
• people would be displaced
• the means to safeguard low-lying areas
• forced to migrate to nearby cities
• the potential for human suffering would be huge
• outbreaks of disease and famine
• increased homelessness and poverty

Remember: if you want a high score in writing task 2, you need to use good 'topic vocabulary' like the examples above.
