More exercises
Each day I post a new exercise with a word from the Academic Word List. These words are probably the most important words you can learn for IELTS. They are the words you can use in almost any essay or task 1 report. Using my exercises you will learn how to use the words by seeing the different forms of the words and the words they are commonly used with.
You will also find AWL exercises based on my sample IELTS essays so that you can learn to use the words in context.

Hi Dominic! I’d like to subscribe to get your daily word as I see that your tips and explanations are really of great help.
I’ve tried to do that from http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-vocabulary/daily-exercises/ but I get this message: “The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled”
Do you you have any ideas what the cause may be?
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve taken a break from the site and am only now getting back into it. I’ll look into this.
Dominic
Sorry about that. Should be fixed now.
Buna! In sfarsit dau de cineva care vorbeste romana.Din cate am inteles ai invatat romana de unul singur ceea ce mi se pare extraordinar avand in vedere ca o consider mai dificila decat alte limbi, mai ales decat engleza. Acelasi lucru l-am facut si eu cu engleza dar deja nu mai am energia necesara si mi se pare ca stagnez. Vroiam sa intreb daca ma poti ajuta recomandand niste carti sau site-uri unde gasesc topics vocabulary. Am citit ce e pe site-ul asta dar voi sustine Ielts in iulie asa ca nu am timp sa imi imbunatatesc vocabularul cu cate un cuvant pe zi.Multumesc anticipat!
Hi Dominic,
First of all, I would like to express my profound thanks to your website and it contents. The way your material is organized and explained, made me to shoot on my target score. I was an user of your site for more than 3-4 months for my 2 attempts in IELTS. On my first attempt, I scored
L 7.5, R 6, W 6.5, S 7.5; Overall 7. But this was not sufficient for my immigration purpose. Hence on my second attempt, I paid close attention to the tips & details from your site. And here is my recent score L 7.5, R 7, W 7, S 7; Overall 7. Thanks again for the wonderful virtual learning opportunity. I pray to god to keep you sound & healthy throughout your life to benefit many people like me…
Hi there, I am also preparing for the IELTS and wondering to offer speaking club. If there anybody want to speak fluently in the exam, please contact with me. skype: konysbay
Hi Mereke
Can I suggest you post this message on the Facebook page? It’s a great idea but I guess you are more likely to find people there than in a comment here which no one may read. There are about 670 people on the FB page at the moment and any message there will go directly to them.
Dominic

Hi! could somebady tell me where the ‘overall’ is placed in an answer of writing task 1?
it is placed betwwen the introduction and tha main theme or in the end of the answer?
Does it have the same meaning with a conclusion?
Hi
The overall is your summary statement. It can either come at the beginning as part of a longer introduction or at the end as part of a conclusion. There are in fact few rules about how to do this. Task 1 has fewer conventions than an essay. The one thing to avoid is putting it both at the beginning and the end as that will be bad repetition.
Thanks! Your reply was crystal clear, however I didn’t manage to enter the blog earlier in the day to read it ( I have to admit that I don’t know much about blogging..). Thus I preferred to send a mail too, fearing of not receiving feedback.
Anyway this site is extremely helpful! Thanks again!
Thanks! I’d like to get the daily word.
i want the topics for speaking.
If you go to my speaking practice page, you will many topics there. I usually update the page once a week with a sample exercise.
THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WONDERFU SITE.HOW CAN I GO THROUGH ALL THE AWL THAT YOU HAD PUBLISHED.
I certainly don’t recommend that you do it all at once. 5/6 a day should work fine. I’m currently reviewing the content on the site and I’m thinking of ways of making the AWL portion more user friendly and part of that will be publishing more review exercises.
please send me the newst vocabulary of the IELTS program my writing skill is so weak and I have to pass the IELTS exam because of scholership to continue my education in abroad please help me and let know how to write a good essay

Hi
I’m back updating the site and you should find plenty of good vocab
Dear Dominic,
This is the first time that I’m going to give exams about a degree in English.
I need this degree to have study abroad. Do you believe that there is hope to survive, with a grade 6,5? the examination will be in February.
(I’m willing to read too much. my level is close to “lower”)
Thank you!
Good question. It rather depends on your major. If it is “science/technology based you should be okay – though you will find it hard to start off with. if you are doing an arts/humanities based subject where more language is required you might struggle with all the reading. It then depends on how quickly you can improve your English during your course – 6.5 is not good enough to complete your degree.
The sad truth is that universities will take you and your money anyway – education has become business and “foreign” students are needed by universities for the money they bring.
thank you Dominic from the bottom of my heart ,it amazing work ,you have the best website which helps us
very great site
