USING COLLOCATION or DIFFICULT WORDS? This is the question a student asked Simon about using words in IELTS and his answer. ?: Hi Simon, when you talk about Band 7+ vocabulary, you always talk about two or three words (a phrase basically). But I am trying to learn few heavy words like cardinal, multitudinous, prodigious, prestidigitation, peregrination etc. Can you please tell us what is more important for IELTS: heavy words or good phrases? !: My answer to this question is simple: good phrases are much more important. The words listed by the student above would seem forced and unnatural, whereas good phrases show your ability to use words together like a native speaker would. Please dont learn the heavy words mentioned by the student. Instead, focus on learning good collocations for IELTS topics. Source: ielts-simon
