- Verbs for describing trends: Use verbs that accurately describe trends in the data, such as increase, decrease, rise, fall, fluctuate, remain stable, reach a peak, etc.
- Adjectives for describing changes: Use adjectives that accurately describe the magnitude of changes in the data, such as significant, gradual, minor, substantial, dramatic, sharp, gradual, etc.
- Adverbs for describing speed: Use adverbs that accurately describe the speed of changes in the data, such as rapidly, slowly, steadily, quickly, gradually, etc.
- Nouns for describing data points: Use specific nouns that accurately describe the data points, such as numbers, percentages, figures, amounts, ratios, etc.
- Comparatives and superlatives: Use comparatives and superlatives to describe the degree of change between different data points, such as higher, lower, the highest, the lowest, the most, the least, etc.
- Synonyms for common words: Use synonyms to avoid repeating the same words or phrases throughout the essay. For example, instead of using “increase” multiple times, use words such as “rise,” “grow,” or “escalate.”
- Topic-specific vocabulary: Use vocabulary that is specific to the topic of the chart or graph. For example, if the topic is related to technology, use words such as “innovation,” “digital,” “cyberspace,” etc.
Remember to use these vocabulary items appropriately and accurately in your writing. Avoid using words that you are not familiar with, as it may lead to errors or inappropriate usage. Practice using new vocabulary items in the context of IELTS Writing Task 1 prompts to improve your skills.
