Mini-Lesson 1:
Speak the Language of Education
Transform common words into academic expressions.
See how one student went from “I want to learn more” to “I’m committed to lifelong academic growth.”
The Problem
Almost every IELTS student uses “significant” — but examiners notice when you overuse it.
“Pollution is a significant problem.”
“There are significant differences.”
“Technology has had a significant impact.”
Sounds repetitive. Vague. Generic.
Band 6 students write like this.
The Transformation:
replace ‘significant’ with more precise academic language that most IELTS students have never heard of…. but every academic uses.
Don’t keep using ‘significant’: be more precise.
Your Turn: The 3-Step Test
1. Which sounds better?
A. “There has been a significant rise in unemployment.”
B. “There has been a marked rise in unemployment.”
2. Rewrite This Sentence Using a Better Word
- “The teacher had a significant influence on my life.”
Your answer: _______________________
Model Answer:
“The teacher had a profound influence on my life.”
(you can also say a ‘marked’ influence or effect)
(notable works the same way)
2. There’s been a ___ increase in school dropout rates.
a) profound
b) marked
c) foundational
d) groundbreaking
3. The teacher had a ___ influence on my outlook.
a) notable
b) marked
c) profound
d) instrumental
Answers
- B. “Marked” fits statistical trends and makes your writing sound precise.
- b) marked
Why? “Marked” is typically used for data-based or measurable trends. It’s more academic and specific than the generic “big” or “significant.” - c) profound
Why? “Profound” is used to describe deep emotional or intellectual impact — it’s perfect for describing personal or psychological changes.

University-Level Boost:
UK university students don’t just make bold claims — they frame ideas carefully.
“Education always improves society.” (does it really ALWAYS? What if the student had a terrible tutor!?)
so we ‘hedge’: we say that it ‘can’, ‘often’, ‘may’….do something.
“Education can play a pivotal role in improving social conditions, particularly in developing economies.”
This type of sentence shows:
You belong in a university seminar room
You understand complexity
You write like an academic
EVERY IELTS examiner will recognise this ability you now have and mark you higher because you are READY for university!
“Stop Sounding Basic: Use Precision to Stand Out, Score Higher, and Impress Every Examiner”
Band 6:
“You need the right data to support your argument.”
Band 7+:
“Strong arguments rely on the precision of the data used to support them.”

The Problem
Band 6 students overuse “get” in both writing and speaking:
“I got good results.”
“I got better at English.”
“I got a job.”
These sound casual, vague, and childish in academic contexts.
The Transformation
Band 7+ students use context-appropriate academic verbs:
| Basic “Get” | Academic Upgrade |
|---|---|
| get a job | secure employment |
| get results | achieve strong outcomes |
| get better | improve significantly |
| get help | receive academic support |
High-Band Insight: Abstract Nouns Signal Higher Thinking
University-level writers don’t just do things — they express ideas as nouns.
Instead of: “I got better.”
Say: “There was a notable improvement in my performance.”
This structure does two things:
- It shows control of nominalisation — an academic writing skill.
- It shifts focus from self to ideas — which examiners reward at Band 7+.
