Vocabulary is a solid way to increase your score. You need to use interesting vocabulary if you want a 7 or higher.
Would it be appropriate to say in Speaking Part 3, about something that has pros and cons, to say that something is a “mixed bag”? -Zarina
Yes this phrase “mixed bag” would be great for IELTS. A lot of times you talk about variety in Speaking Part 3 so this would be great for that part of the test.
Today we have other examples of phrases that could talk about variety:
- Hodgepodge: This phrase is rare but it’s great. It’s diverse and can be used for formal or informal parts of the test.
- Mishmash: This means that things are random. Things don’t all fall into one bucket. Don’t use this on Writing because it’s informal.
- A grab bag: This is also informal. It means that there are a bunch of random things combined together. This would be great to describe a variety of opinions, or advantages or disadvantages.
- A medley: This is often used when you talk about a song that has a few different songs that are put together into one.
