🌎 Ace Your IELTS with Environmental Vocabulary! 🌿 Hey Italki community! 👋 If you're preparing for the IELTS exam, you probably know that environmental topics are super common in both the Speaking and Writing sections. Whether it's discussing climate change, global warming, or the greenhouse effect, having strong vocabulary can really make a difference. Here are my top 5 tips to boost your score when talking about environmental issues: 🔹 1. Master Key Vocabulary Words like greenhouse effect, sea level, acidity, and runaway effect are not just buzzwords – they are essential for showing understanding in IELTS discussions. Use them confidently to make your answers sound more natural and informed. 🔹 2. Use Examples to Illustrate Your Point When you use words like disastrous or extreme, follow up with examples: "The greenhouse effect is causing sea levels to rise, which is disastrous for coastal cities like Miami." 🔹 3. Know the Difference: Greenhouse Effect vs. Global Warming vs. Climate Change These terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean different things: Greenhouse Effect: Trapping of the sun's warmth in the atmosphere. Global Warming: Increase in Earth's average temperatures. Climate Change: Long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns. 🔹 4. Practice Speaking About Solutions IELTS questions often ask about solutions to climate issues. Be ready to talk about: Reducing emissions Implementing sustainable practices Adapting to rising sea levels 🔹 5. Expand Your Phrases Try to upgrade your sentences. Instead of saying: "We should stop pollution." Say: "We need to implement effective regulations to combat rising pollution levels and mitigate the disastrous effects of climate change." Good luck with your IELTS preparation! 🎓💬

Hi, and welcome back to Everyday English with Teacher Alyse! I’m so happy you’re here. Today, we’re going to talk about a small but powerful change you can make in your daily conversations—replacing the word sorry with thank you. Many English learners, and even native speakers, use "sorry" too often. While saying sorry is important when you truly make a mistake, overusing it can make you seem less confident and even unnecessary in some situations. Instead, shifting to thank you can make your communication more positive and empowering. Let’s go through some common situations where you might be tempted to say "sorry" and how to rephrase them in a more confident and appreciative way. Instead of saying: “I’m sorry I’m late.” ➝ Say: “Thank you for waiting for me.” → Why? This shift acknowledges the other person’s patience rather than focusing on your mistake. It creates a more positive tone. Why Is It Important to Limit "Sorry"? Using "sorry" too often can make you seem less confident and even weaken your message. It can also make an issue seem bigger than it actually is. Of course, when you truly make a mistake, a sincere apology is important. But by replacing unnecessary "sorrys" with "thank yous," you turn negative situations into positive interactions. Full transcript available upon request. Follow me for more Everyday English.
