Do you want that extra edge or advantage to push your score to a 7 on the IELTS exam?
You need some English phrasal verbs to stand apart from the crowd!
Today, Lindsay and Jessica share 5 English phrasal verbs you can use to stand out and get the score you need!
You will probably be asked to talk about the topics of home, shopping, food and studying in Part 1 of the IELTS Speaking Section. You need to prepare for this. One way you can do that is have some phrasal verbs.
Phrasal verbs are a way to sound more natural and native when speaking informally. Though there are many of these to choose from, you only need to use of a few to stand out.
Here are five that are easy to use and will impress your examiner:
Bone up on: This means to learn. It’s not only a phrasal verb, but also an idiom. “I had to bone up on my English studies.”
Figure out: This means to learn the details of something, or discover how it works. “I figured out how to fix the television.”
Goof off: When you are having fun, but not working or studying, you can say “I spent the afternoon goofing off.”
Clam up: This is another phrasal verb and idiom. It means that you’re so nervous you couldn’t think of what to say. “I clammed up when she asked me to answer the question.”
Catch up: If you’re behind, and you’re trying to shorten the distance, you might need to catch up. This can be used physically, like you’re chasing someone, or with your studies. “I fell behind in my homework and have to catch up.”
Do you have any other phrasal verbs you’d like to use in the IELTS exam?
