00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:08,790
‫Welcome back in this lesson will be learning all about the vocabulary that you must use in writing Task

2
00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:09,100
‫one.

3
00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:18,600
‫I believe that even if your level of English is very advanced, there's still a lot of specific vocabulary

4
00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:21,730
‫that you need to learn and practice using.

5
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:24,510
‫Here are your lesson notes.

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,670
‫By the end of this video, you will know some of the essential Al's writing task, one vocabulary.

7
00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:42,810
‫You'll also be able to use some advanced language to describe a bar chart, map or process, if at any

8
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:48,990
‫point during this lesson you have some questions, please go to the Q and A section and I'll try and

9
00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:50,890
‫get back to you as quickly as I can.

10
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:59,600
‫Let's go back to the band descriptors to understand why vocabulary is so important for your final band

11
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,070
‫score.

12
00:01:01,010 --> 00:01:08,870
‫You may remember the banned descriptors are split into four sections, that task achievement, coherence

13
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:13,770
‫and cohesion, lexical resource and grammatical range and accuracy.

14
00:01:14,570 --> 00:01:21,860
‫The key point to remember is these four criteria are marked equally at 25 percent each.

15
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:31,760
‫So your use of vocabulary or lexical resource makes up one quarter or 25 percent of your final score.

16
00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:40,720
‫A band sex in lexical resource means that you haven't used too much advanced vocabulary, you may have

17
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,930
‫used it inaccurately with some mistakes, or you could have repeated yourself too often.

18
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:55,320
‫To achieve a band seven electical resource, you must use a range of advanced vocabulary with little

19
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,110
‫repetition and fewer mistakes.

20
00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:08,110
‫For a top band eight or Band nine score, you must use sophisticated language with very little repetition

21
00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:15,110
‫and there also needs to be few or actually zero mistakes in your writing and vocabulary.

22
00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:21,260
‫Here are some quick tips to follow to score highly in lexical resource.

23
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,950
‫My first top tip is to try and not to repeat your language too often.

24
00:02:28,870 --> 00:02:34,430
‫Also, don't copy the language from the question you synonyms to paraphrase.

25
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:43,060
‫Next, I would suggest trying to use some less common vocabulary and finally make sure you're using

26
00:02:43,060 --> 00:02:47,050
‫your vocabulary accurately and your spelling it correctly.

27
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:56,460
‫Also, I would suggest writing down and taking note of any vocabulary in this lesson that you think

28
00:02:56,460 --> 00:02:57,930
‫you will find useful.

29
00:02:58,590 --> 00:03:00,000
‫Let's get on with the lesson.

30
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:08,490
‫To increase your range of vocabulary, it's really important that you have a good understanding of synonyms

31
00:03:09,150 --> 00:03:14,850
‫now, synonyms are words that have a very similar or the exact same meaning.

32
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:22,530
‫And throughout this lesson, are we teaching you lots of adults writing specific vocabulary and synonyms?

33
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,020
‫Here is a quick example of three synonyms for the word profit.

34
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,800
‫By having a larger range of vocabulary, you will find it easier to not repeat yourself.

35
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:40,380
‫Here is the essential vocabulary for your introduction paragraph.

36
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:45,090
‫Note them down and practice using them in a variety of ways.

37
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,000
‫You could also post them to the Q&A section.

38
00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:57,070
‫Here are four top openers that you could use to begin your writing that given the preceding to supply

39
00:03:57,290 --> 00:04:04,460
‫the show following this, we need to give the type of visual information that we are provided with,

40
00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:09,950
‫then add one of these verbs and this is your opening sentence.

41
00:04:10,370 --> 00:04:15,020
‫Now, let's take a look at a few examples using this table.

42
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,830
‫This applied bar chart describes.

43
00:04:22,820 --> 00:04:25,130
‫The given line graphs compare.

44
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,040
‫Have a go at writing your own opening introduction.

45
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,000
‫Now we'll move on to vocabulary all about graphs and charts.

46
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:44,770
‫Here are five common trends that you will see with graphs and charts, and we have both gradual and

47
00:04:44,770 --> 00:04:47,080
‫rapid changes as well.

48
00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:51,610
‫We also have a plateau or we could say that it is stabilized.

49
00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:56,520
‫Here are your synonyms for increase and decrease.

50
00:04:57,270 --> 00:05:05,220
‫I've highlighted the vocabulary rocketed and plunged in blue because you would only use these two words

51
00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:08,190
‫to describe a big quick change.

52
00:05:09,150 --> 00:05:17,310
‫We use adverbs to show how quickly the change happened for gradual, you could use these adverbs.

53
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,740
‫Let's see a few examples.

54
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:30,970
‫The line graph slightly increased, or you could also say the graph moderately grew.

55
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,980
‫Both these sentences mean there was a small increase.

56
00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:44,010
‫Here are some examples to describe a small decrease, the graph slowly decreased.

57
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,470
‫The graph moderately fell.

58
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:54,740
‫Holds the video and write your own versions describing gradual changes in the line graph.

59
00:05:55,370 --> 00:05:58,370
‫Let's move on to rapid big changes.

60
00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:03,920
‫Here are your adverbs and here are some example sentences.

61
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,370
‫The line graph sharply climbed and here's an example with rocketed, which does not need an adverb.

62
00:06:13,210 --> 00:06:14,920
‫The graph rocketed.

63
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,520
‫Let's see examples for a very large decrease.

64
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:28,940
‫You could write the line graph sharply declined, or you could also say the graph plunged.

65
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:36,970
‫We've covered quite a few different ways in which you can use synonyms to discuss trends in graphs and

66
00:06:36,970 --> 00:06:44,440
‫charts before moving on, I suggest writing notes about the information that you can see before you

67
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:44,830
‫now.

68
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:48,940
‫Do that and then move on to the next section of this lesson.

69
00:06:51,210 --> 00:06:56,790
‫Now we'll move on to the essential vocabulary that you need to describe, Matt.

70
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:05,200
‫Some of the most important vocabulary that you need when describing maps is being able to talk about

71
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,120
‫location.

72
00:07:06,910 --> 00:07:11,970
‫If you look to the top middle of the screen, you can see an eight point compass.

73
00:07:12,630 --> 00:07:17,050
‫I'll show you how we can describe some location using the compass.

74
00:07:18,910 --> 00:07:25,540
‫He is a wind turbine which is used to produce electricity, and here is the car park.

75
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:35,880
‫I would describe the car park as being south east of the wind turbine, or I could say the wind turbine

76
00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:40,110
‫is located to the north west of the car park.

77
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:48,370
‫Here are some synonyms that you could use instead of located, you could use situated or found.

78
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:55,270
‫For example, the secret garden is situated to the east of the vegetable patch.

79
00:07:56,390 --> 00:08:01,310
‫Or the play area is found to the north of the primary building.

80
00:08:03,010 --> 00:08:10,360
‫Use the example sentences and the eight point compass to practice, describing the location of features

81
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,500
‫on this map.

82
00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:18,860
‫As well as location, we also need to be able to describe how maps have changed.

83
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,650
‫So let us look at some vocabulary for that.

84
00:08:23,060 --> 00:08:30,500
‫When you are presented with two maps from the same location, but different times, you must be able

85
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:35,750
‫to report what has been removed and what has been developed.

86
00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:43,340
‫If something has been built, you could use these synonyms to describe that developed, added, built,

87
00:08:43,340 --> 00:08:45,530
‫constructed or transformed.

88
00:08:46,430 --> 00:08:53,740
‫For example, from this map, you could say that the shops were developed into more residential housing.

89
00:08:54,590 --> 00:09:02,930
‫If a building or place has been reused instead of completely destroyed and rebuilt, you can use developed

90
00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:04,160
‫or transformed.

91
00:09:05,210 --> 00:09:11,030
‫If this place is completely new, you would say it was added, built or constructed.

92
00:09:12,350 --> 00:09:19,580
‫If something disappears, we can use replaced, removed, are demolished, for example, the farmland

93
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:20,930
‫was demolished.

94
00:09:22,660 --> 00:09:26,420
‫That's all for the essential vocabulary about maps.

95
00:09:27,010 --> 00:09:33,610
‫We're going to move on to learn what language you must know, to report processes and diagrams.

96
00:09:34,850 --> 00:09:44,240
‫When reporting a process, we must describe each stage from beginning to finish, so it's very important

97
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:50,210
‫that we use time connectives to order our language and report logically.

98
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:55,010
‫Here are some examples of what time connectives you can use.

99
00:09:56,500 --> 00:10:03,550
‫This table gives you some ideas on language you can use to time, order your report, you will only

100
00:10:03,550 --> 00:10:08,290
‫need to use one of the phrases from the first and final stages.

101
00:10:08,740 --> 00:10:15,280
‫But as there may be a few stages in the whole process, you might need to use a lot of the phrases in

102
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,960
‫the middle stage column.

103
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:25,420
‫Here are some examples using the time connectives to describe the lifecycle of a frog in the beginning.

104
00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:28,570
‫Eggs are laid by an adult frog in the river.

105
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:35,640
‫After that, an embryo develops inside the egg.

106
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:44,110
‫Finally, the tadpole frog loses its tail and becomes an adult frog.

107
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:55,380
‫That's all for our lesson on essential vocabulary for adults writing task one, it's really important

108
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:59,220
‫that you try and practice using a range of vocabulary.

109
00:10:59,710 --> 00:11:04,200
‫You've got any questions, use the Q&A feature or drop me a message.

110
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:05,160
‫So you say.
