Flying tortoises IELTS words
Cambridge IELTS-12 academic reading part high-level words. If your target score 6.5 and higher, you should know these words.
There are lots of IELTS exam methods and tactics to get a high score is available. However, if you have a lack of information, they only help up to a point. Based on this topic, I made my IELTS preparation with complete my information on the upper level (B2-C1-C2) vocabularies and tried taking note of frequently used words. I thought it would be good to learn. IELTS There is a lot of non-ordinary words in the academic reading exam, and many of them are used to create a mess. However, when you examine all tests with a different view, you will see that there are many words used again and again. Extra vocabularies will help you to understand to reading part more efficiently.
Cambridge IELTS preparation series book 12 section 3, reading 1. I have noted the words in the academic reading part “Flying tortoises” Again, maybe all of these are not exactly the necessary words for the exam, but I think people should take a look. Because if you have to get a good score, you should make something good at the exam.
The order of the words is relative to the order in which the reading is used. Descriptions are also given in the Cambridge dictionary. Here is the reading unknown words.
