    Key Words & Expressions
    By learning to use common phrases and set expressions, you can add variety and interest to
    your writing. You will also be able to write more quickly and effectively during exams, when time
    is limited.

    Of course, you won't need to use all of the expressions on the IELTS. Ideally, you should
    be comfortable using at least three or four expressions from each group below, so they come to
    mind easily during the IELTS. It is also helpful to have someone call them out so you can test
    your spelling. Unfortunately, students sometimes make spelling errors even in these commonly
    occurring expressions. Practice sufficiently so you don't lose points unnecessarily on something
    that's within your control.
