You could be asked about travel on Speaking Part 1, 2 or 3 on the IELTS.

Five IELTS Vocabulary Words for Travel:

  • To get away: To escape, to go somewhere that is not your home. You can also use the noun “a getaway.” We might use this when we are tired of our day-to-day life and they need to get out and see something new.

 

  • To take the road less traveled: To do things differently and to think outside of the box.  This can be used on IELTS to talk about a time in your life where you made a choice that was not traditional.

 

  • To find a gem: When you find a place where only locals go and other tourists don’t visit. You can use this on Speaking Part 2 if you have to describe places you have traveled to.

 

  • To have wanderlust: To want to move around and see a lot of things around the world. To not want to stay in one place. You can also say “I had a bad case of wanderlust.”

 

  • To take a red eye: To take a night flight

 

Remember, the worst thing you could do on the IELTS is to sound like every other Band 6 student by using typical IELTS vocabulary.

Make sure you are using interesting and native vocabulary throughout the exam like the ones in today’s article.
