- Are your IELTS Task 1 scores fluctuating in your practice samples? In other words, are they sometimes high and sometimes low? If they are low, it might be because you are using some of the necessary words incorrectly. In this lesson, we will look at nine essential words for this section of the test and how to use them correctly so as to reach your peak band score. Do you know the difference between "percent" and percentage, "former" and "latter", "20-year-old man" and a "man who is 20 years old"? You will understand all this and more after watching this lesson.

TRANSCRIPT
Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam, and today's lesson is for those of you who will be taking the IELTS test. Now, as usual, when I do an IELTS class, I will speak a little bit faster, a little bit closer to natural speed for those of you who need the extra listening practice. But this is for everybody; there's always something to learn, it's all English.
So today we're going to specifically look at IELTS Task 1, and I'm going to give you a few vocabulary that are essential to success in IELTS Task 1. You won't necessarily use all of them every time, but you need to know these nine words that I'm going to show you-or 10 words, depends how you look at it-you need to know these words so you're ready for pretty much any kind of infographic that comes your way.
Now, most of the time and most of your practice, I'm sure, is graphs. Okay? So we're going to start with looking at graphs, and we're going to look at these two words: "fluctuate", a verb, okay? And: "fluctuation", a noun. Now, from my experience, checking students' or test takers' essays, this word is quite often misused. Okay? I think sometimes people are not exactly sure what this word means. So, to show you, I'm going to show you a graph, here. This is a fluctuation. Let's say we're looking at a span of 2000 to 2014, so we're looking 15 years of sales, let's say. Sales and whatever the number is in hundred of millions. Okay? "Fluctuate" means to go up and down quite rapidly. Okay? It doesn't have to be rapid; it could be steady, but there's an up, there's a down, there's an up, there's a down.
If you're going something like this, this you don't call a fluctuation. Even though it's not a straight line, it's still not a fluctuation, because overall, the sales are still going upwards, they're still increasing. Fluctuation, there must be some downward movement as well. It goes up and there's down from... Let's say from the starting point. So here we go up, down, up, down, up, down. Here, it's mostly up. You very rarely go down below where you started. So overall, you have an upward motion. This is to fluctuate. So, you can use it as a verb: Over the span of the recording, of the record, of the 15 years, sales fluctuated from let's say 100 million to as little... And ended up here, let's say, it's a little bit lower to 110. So, overall, there was a slight increase, but sales fluctuated throughout the period. Okay?
You can use "fluctuation". If you want to talk about the graph as a whole, you can say: "The graph shows fluctuations in the sales numbers." Okay? The graph shows fluctuations. Sales fluctuated. So you can talk about the... Whatever is on the x-axis itself, or you can talk about the graph as a whole. Use "fluctuate" for whatever item is here; use "fluctuation" for the graph as a whole.
Finally I found someone who actually concentrates on teaching and helping us out instead of promoting their online courses! Thank you very much sir, your videos are greatly appreciated.
yes bro you are right I agree with your opinion some people still promote and advertise their online courses and programmes that is very "useless and expensive" (but its my private opinion)
I had to come back and thank you for your great videos. writing and speaking was my weakness in IELTS exams. after watching and practicing for a whole week. I got my band 7 and I have you to thank. Thank you Adam for the amazing tips and videos
Alright, i found this lesson really interesting, thank you so much, all your vídeos are great and you are really helping us a lot here. Thanks
Thank you so much for your devotion to the teaching and learning English. I really appreciate your work and your explanations are easy to follow. Blessings from Argentina!
hello, i am new in IELTS so plz add me on whatsapp
00923377444000
adam, you are, clrealy, the best English teacher i have ever seen in my life. thank you for posting all the videos you do! I am a much better writer and communicator of English because of you, and we do not even know each other :)
Great video Adam!
I'd like to share a technique I teach:
Introduction: Re-phrase the graph title.
Paragraph 1: Find the maximums, minimums, exceptions and unusual features.
Summary: Overall trend (never ever an opinion).
Good luck in the exam friends! :-)
I was advised to put the overview right after the introduction. As this will ease the marker into my body paragraph. However, this will require you to see the whole body paragraph through before you can write this.
This is not the right way to do it, at least presently. Here's a better way:
Introduction- paraphrase the description in the question
Overview- mention the key points. As you said; : "Find the maximums, minimums, exceptions and unusual features."
Body paragraph 1
Body paragraph 2
adam, you know what you are the best. you decribe all those keywords with such an ease and i'll surely use them in my writting task 1.

Impeccable as usual. ❤
Thanks Adam! such a great video! God bless u each day as you share all the information:)
Excellent, as usual, Adam, thank you! Just one thing: "percent" is a noun, not an adverb. Thanks again!
+beup2date1 I should have been more accurate: it CAN be an adverb (when it modifies the verb --which is the very definition of an adverb), but in Adam's example("10% of the men surveyed"), I'm sorry but it is not an adverb. No big deal, anyway.... Again, great lessonl
Great video as always, thanks Adam!
Thank you very much! I learning not to be redundant.
Thank you, adam sir for the videos. It is really helpful and I gained some tactics through the lectures. However, it would have been better if there was speaking test face to face with you online. :)

This bar chart demonstrates the information about the number of queries collected by the city through three modes over a six month period in 2011.
overall,it can be seen through the graph is that the maximum number of enquiries accepted by the city is though person and minimum amount of questions received through letter or emails.
As it can be seen from the graph is that the amount of enquiries obtain in jan by person is near about 400,than it increases to just doubled in march.After that the asking of questions keep growing till june with the number of approx 1900.The fraction of doubts gained through letter which is just same as the number of questions received in march through person,then it decreases slowly till march the quantity of questions goes to approx 750 and then it decreases gradually till may with the equal enquiries received in jan through individuals,and then the plateau occurs till june.whereas ,the fluctations occured in receiving doubts by telephone,from jan to feb the integer of questions decreased from 900 to 800,then it increases gradually till march,and then constant value remains till april and then it grows rapidly with a queries fractin of 1600 by one town.
