Vocabulary Topic - Health

This month we’re going to be looking at language related to health. This will include:

We will be posting lots of fun language exercises and quizzes to test your knowledge of English on this topic, not forgetting a great story-writing competition in which you could win a free English for Health online course!! More details on that later this week!

First of all, here’s a little vocabulary teaser for you. Do you know when to use the word ‘pain’ and when to use ‘ache’?

For example, when your head is hurting do you say, I’ve got a headache or a head pain?

That’s right! It’s headache. Remember, ‘ache’ has the same pronunciation as ‘cake’ or ‘make’.

So here’s a more difficult question for you. All of the following body parts can be used with ‘ache’ but one can only be used with ‘pain’. Which one is it?

iPass subscription has been very helpful to get the score of 8 in speaking. Whilst writing tips provided by Nigel has helped improving my score to 7.5.

I would recommend aspiring IELTS test takers to take 2-3 speaking test prior to real test to enhance the chances of a better score.
