IELTS Vocabulary: weekly review

Do you keep a notebook for useful words and phrases? And do you review the vocabulary in it regularly?

For example, here's a quick review of some useful vocabulary from the last seven days of lessons on this blog:

• compile a list
• build a repertoire
• the current generation of language learners
• don't know how lucky they are
• they have the Internet at their disposal
• they have access to videos, podcasts and audiobooks
• they have the chance to immerse themselves in the language
• to take advantage of
• overuse of a word
• the charts compare three countries in terms of...
• dispose of harmful waste
• hazardous materials
• are buried underground / are recycled
• know the basics
• rely on pre-prepared meals
• that would surely be a good thing

Remember: Understanding a word is not the same as being able to use it. Practise using the phrases above in your own sentences.
