I have designed this book IELTS vocabulary builder for those who wanted to obtain a higher band score and improve advanced vocabulary as well. IELTS has always been an examination of advanced learners of English. I have uploaded some articles where I have mentioned that higher and advanced vocabulary is not needed in the writing and speaking section for those who wanted to get only 6 band score. However, vocabulary improvement is very much essential for the students who are aiming for 7 and higher band score.
Apart from that, vocabulary improvement is the cornerstone for any advanced learners. it is the higher vocabulary which can differentiate you from others. It is not just a matter of getting the band score. It is a matter of your overall personality. for greater success, greater vocabulary is needed.
If you have been searching for a dynamic source of improving your lexical resources. IELTS vocabulary builder is the book you should look for. The book has been divided into chapters. I would recommend that you start from the beginning to get the full advantage.
Chapter 1: What does the true vocabulary really mean?
You must have heard about the importance of the words from most of the people in your surroundings. Mastery over words is vital to get ahead in life, to get success in your desired field, or to get a good band score in IELTS. Hence, everyone is trying hard to build a better vocabulary. People work on different methods and perceptions which they have been told by their teachers, well-wishers, or friends. However, it is of utmost importance to know what the true vocabulary really means before actually learning words.

Chapter 2: How to build a better vocabulary
Words have always been important to get success academically, economically, or socially. One word can consummate the deal or break it. Nicely used words would run like a bullet and pierce deep into the target. It is, therefore, vitally important to build a better vocabulary.
We have already discussed in chapter 1 that people only cram the words and not learn them practically. They miss one of the core things to build a better vocabulary. We have also discussed that the individual word is having less importance as compared to the word applied in a sentence. So, the basic and vital thing is we have to see the words practically applied somewhere by educated people of the English language. For that, you have to read and listen to English speakers.

Chapter 3: Test your vocabulary for IELTS.
How about a test of your present word power?
It is imperative to know your present knowledge of words in English. you can appear for this test here. 50 words have been given. Some of them are easy, some harder, some hardest. Try to score maximum in this test but don’t worry if you score low. This is just the beginning, not the end. A mere screening of your present status.
So, give the test honestly. I have given the word with its collocation to give you some advantage of logical guessing. The underlined word is a test word. 3 options have been given for each question. Choose the word which is nearest in meaning. wild guessing is allowed. but, please do not look up the meaning of the word in the dictionary until you finish the test.
