Today you will learn the 3 most useful verbs to get high vocabulary scores on IELTS Writing Task 1.

It is very easy, and common, for students to just use sentences with the ‘be’ verb in Task 1 essays.

If you repeat sentence structures and verbs, it’s very difficult to get high scores in grammar and vocabulary.

The most common sentence structure students use is: The percentage in Europe was… The amount in North America was…

That’s boring, and low scoring!

This is a prime example of a missed opportunity to raise your vocabulary scores.

3 Verbs to Paraphrase in Every Writing Task 1

Instead of saying, “The percentage in Europe was the most substantial,” you could say:

Europe saw the most substantial number of 100% in 1992.

This flips the subjects around, varying the sentence structure, but also uses the verb ‘see’ instead of ‘be’.
