To score highly in Vocabulary on the IELTS Speaking exam, you must show the examiner a range of vocabulary.

This means that you cannot just use easy words. In contrast, you also cannot only use high-level words.

You need a range.

Here are some impressive slang words and idiomatic phrases that your average “band score 6” candidate will not use on the exam.

Be a 7+!

Hop on my bike- get on my bike

Cruise- ride leisurely, on a bike or in a car/bus/train

Hitch a ride- get a ride from somebody else

Gas guzzler- a vehicle that uses a lot of gas

Full of loonies- having a lot of crazy people

Pop in by earbuds- put on headphones

Zone out- stare at nothing, eyes glazed, not thinking about anything

Practice using these phrases when answering these IELTS Speaking questions:

How do people get to work/school in your city?

How do you get around your city?

Is public transport safe where you’re from?\n
