This is largely because they are not actually reducing words in a way that sounds natural, especially when there are multiple syllables. So, this episode will show you how to pronounce 120 of the most common words in English in a way that sounds like a native speaker.

Say The 120 Most Common English Words Like An American

First and foremost, carefully read the passage or section and understand its main idea and purpose. Pay attention to the overall theme and the information presented. This will help you grasp the essence of the passage and identify the most relevant title.

Next, consider the tone and style of the passage. Is it informative, persuasive, or narrative? This will guide you in choosing a title that accurately reflects the overall tone and style of the passage.

Look for recurring keywords or phrases that capture the central idea or main theme. These keywords often provide clues to help you select an appropriate title. Consider the main points and arguments presented in the passage and choose a title that reflects these key elements.

When selecting a title, think about its broad and inclusive nature. A good title should encapsulate the main idea or purpose of the passage without being too specific or narrow. It should be able to cover the entire content of the passage or section.

Avoid titles that are overly generic or too similar to the headings or subheadings within the passage. Look for titles that capture the uniqueness and distinctiveness of the content. A strong title should entice readers and give them a clear sense of what to expect from the passage.

Pay attention to any contrasting or conflicting ideas presented in the passage. Consider whether the title you choose accurately represents the overall message, even if there are opposing viewpoints or multiple perspectives.

Allocate a specific amount of time for each question and avoid spending too much time deliberating on a single title. If you're uncertain about a title, make an educated guess and move on.

To enhance your skills in answering Choosing a Title questions, practice with a variety of authentic IELTS reading materials. Familiarize yourself with different question formats and expose yourself to diverse topics and writing styles.
