IELTS Vocabulary: where do you get your language from?

Where are you getting your English language from? Look at the lists below.

List A

• I use a dictionary to find new words.
• I often translate vocabulary from my own language.
• I learn lists of words from a vocabulary textbook.

List B

• I learn by reading ‘real’ native-speaker texts (e.g. newspaper articles, books, essays by Simon and other reliable teachers).
• I watch lots of ‘real’ English videos online, and I record useful vocabulary in a notebook.
• I chat to native English speakers and try to copy the expressions that they use.
• My English teacher gives me authentic English texts, video and audio, and we get our vocabulary from those sources.
