That means IELTS graph vocabulary is a very important component to review as you <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-academic-writing-task-1\/\">prepare for the Writing Task 1.<\/a> You can start by checking out this <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-writing-task-1-language-vocabulary-guide\/\">IELTS writing task 1 vocabulary guide<\/a>. And below, I&#8217;ll provide an overview of words and useful phrases to incorporate into your writing so that you can get top marks on the lexical resource category and a high band score overall. Basically, the better your IELTS writing chart vocabulary, the higher score you&#8217;ll get. It&#8217;s not hard, but there is a clear formula to doing well. <\/p>\n<h2>How to Use IELTS Graph Vocabulary in Writing Task 1<\/h2>\n<p>Because IELTS writing task 1 involves describing a graph or chart of some type, it will help to have a handle on IELTS writing chart vocabulary &#8212; words and phrases that help you write about the information on the chart or graph.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2021\/04\/IELTS-graphic-300x253.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"253\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2021\/04\/IELTS-graphic-300x253.png 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/files\/2021\/04\/IELTS-graphic.png 473w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How are graphs described in IELTS? Let&#8217;s walk through the best vocabulary for the task, step by step.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Start With Introduction Phrases<\/h3>\n<p>Often ESL students start their essay with <em>\u2018The graph shows\u2026\u2019. <\/em> While this is fine, the verb <em>\u2018shows\u2019 <\/em>could be replaced by a more exciting and high-level vocabulary word. Here are four different prompts to start your essay:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The graph <\/em><strong><em>illustrates<\/em><\/strong><em> the trends in\u2026<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The graph <\/em><strong><em>reveals<\/em><\/strong><em> information about the changes in\u2026<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The graph <\/em><strong><em>provides<\/em><\/strong><em> the differences between&#8230;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The graph <\/em><strong><em>presents <\/em><\/strong><em>how X has changed over a period of\u2026<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"no_bullet\">\n<li class=\"bulb\">DO NOT write the word below or above in your introduction. i.e. <em>The graph above\/below shows\u2026<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Add Suitable Adverbs<\/h3>\n<p>Adverbs help express a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, and degree, and can greatly add some color and interest to your writing as well as show off your range of vocabulary. Unlike adjectives (which describe nouns), adverbs describe verbs, or actions. Here&#8217;s a great list of adverbs to use:<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-73\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-73 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Adverb<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Meaning<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Approximately<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Almost, but not completely exact; roughly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Dramatically<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">By a quick and large amount<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Erratically<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">In a way that is uneven or irregular<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Gradually<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">By slow degrees<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Markedly<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Noticeably, significantly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Significantly<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">In a way that is worthy of attention; importantly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Slightly<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">To a small degree<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Slowly<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">At a slow speed, not quickly<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Steadily<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">In a regular or even way<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-73 from cache --><\/p>\n<h3>3. Use Appropriate Synonyms<\/h3>\n<p>Again using a variety of nouns and verbs for words like <em>rise<\/em> and <em>fall<\/em> will help increase your overall score. Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-74\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-74 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Rise (Noun)<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Rise (Verb)<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">Fall (Verb)<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-4\">Fall (Noun)<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-5\">Fluctuate (Verb)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Climb<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Increase<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Collapse<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Decline<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">Be erratic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Increase<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Climb<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Decline<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Decrease<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">Be fitful<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Improve<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Leap<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Decrease<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Deterioration<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">Vary<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Jump<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Pick up<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Deteriorate <\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Dip<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">Rise and fall <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Leap<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Surge<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Dip<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Drop<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Move upward<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Growth<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Drive<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Plunge<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Rocket<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Drop<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Freefall <\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Skyrocket<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Go down<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Slide<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Soar<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Plummet<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Slip<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Shoot up<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Plunge<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Dive<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Pick up<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Slide<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Reduction<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Surge<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Slip (back)<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Slump<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Recover<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Slump<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Take a nosedive<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\"><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-74 from cache --><\/p>\n<h3>4.
