<\/a><\/p>\nIELTS Conversational Vocabulary: Family<\/h2>\n
In the IELTS interview, you will likely be asked about your family. You will hear conversations about family in IELTS Listening as well.<\/p>\n
Many English family words are probably already familiar to you. For this post, I’ll assume you already know the words mother<\/em>, father<\/em>, son<\/em>, daughter<\/em>, brother<\/em>, sister<\/em>, grandmother<\/em>, grandfather, <\/em>and grandchildren<\/em> (grandson<\/em> and granddaughter<\/em>).<\/em><\/p>\nThere are a few other family terms you might not know, however. The first two terms we’ll look at are immediate family<\/em> and extended family<\/em>.<\/p>\nYour immediate family are the family members in your own household. Your husband or wife and your children would be part of your immediate family. Your parents, brothers and sisters would also be part of your immediate family.<\/p>\n
Your grandparents are part of your extended family, and so are many other relatives. Words for extended family relatives can be very different from one language to the next. So there’s a good chance you aren’t familiar with some of the English words for extended family. This post will focus on extended family vocabulary words that might appear on the IELTS. But first, we’ll look at a couple of vocabulary words for immediate family that ESL students often don’t know.<\/p>\n
