According to statistics, the Task 1 topic is most likely to fall into the chart types that focus on numbers: bar chart, line graph, pie chart and table. In these types of lessons, we focus on describing changes or unchanged numbers. So one of the most important vocabulary topics for this test is how to speak increase/decrease of the data.
In the most basic form, we have a double increase (increase) and decrease (decrease). Anyone taking the IELTS must know these 2 words. However, one more thing that everyone taking IELTS must know is to avoid as much as possible repeat word. In an essay of 10-15 sentences in Task 1, you have to show a wide range of vocabulary, which also means you have to know more than one way to say a word. So, what other ways do we describe rising and falling?
1. Increase
Interestingly, other words to describe increase/decrease and even “advanced” than increase/decrease are simple verbs that we are exposed to when we first learn English. Specifically, these are verbs that indicate upward movement, such as:
Climb (climb)
Sunrise (rise)
The elevator goes up (escalate <= comes from slowly the elevator is escalator)
Or simply go up (go up)
The fact that you use a variety of these words, rather than just abusing one word, will help you easily improve your vocabulary score in Task 1. In addition to the words above, sometimes you have to use “stronger” words to describe a sharp increase. In English, we also have very “figurative” words to describe this increase:
Shoot up like a rocket (verb skyrocket or shoot up)
Soar like an eagle (verb soar)
2. Discount
Corresponding to the above increasing words, we also have decreasing words with opposite meanings, for example
Go up => Go down
Rise => Fall
In addition, we also have some other words that are quite easy to remember and familiar, for example decrease, reduce or drop.
With the reductions strongIn IELTS, you will mainly use two relatively “figurative” vocabulary words: dip (sink) and plunge (dive)
You should pay close attention to the strength and lightness of up and down trends, because vocabulary scores will be most appreciated when you use words. the most exactly.
Take a look at the following chart:
This chart has a very clear uptrend, but there are 2 types of uptrend, that is, slow increase and fast increase. It can be seen that before 1985, national recycling rates inched up very slowly, but after this year, they increased very strongly.
So we can write:
Overall, total waste recovery increased. Since 1985, it skyrocketed.
- Other spellings
If you notice, the words given above are all verb. So, when using these words, we will usually write S+V sentences like:
A + increase/decrease/fall/rise/…
This writing is completely OK, but in IELTS, besides conjugating the correct verbs, if we can show many different sentence patterns, the grammar of the article will be more appreciated. So is there any way we can describe an increase/decrease without using verb.
The simplest way is that you use noun of the verbs above. Some of the verbs above have noun forms, and what’s even better is that their noun forms are written exactly like the verb forms. For example, you have:
Rise => a rise
Fall => a fall
Drop => a drop
But how to use these nouns? Obviously, all sentences in English have verbs. So what verbs are we going to use?
Please write sentences according to the following pattern:
A + experience + a rise/a fall/a drop…
So, the sentence above that we wrote:
Overall, total waste recovery increased. Since 1985, it skyrocketed.
Can be rewritten as:
Overall, total waste recovery experienced an increase.
Please note that not all words can be converted into nouns. You should only use the structure “experience + noun” with the words: rise/fall/drop and increase/decrease.
