Band 9 vocabulary for IELTS doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it can be incredibly simple. That’s because many words in English have multiple meanings. Even everyday words can have a more complex meaning.

In this lesson, I look at how simple vocabulary for describing the body can be used to make advanced band 9 idioms. And how do you know they are band 9? Well, because they are rated as C2 level by the Oxford Learners Dictionary.

These are idioms that can help you get a higher score in your IELTS speaking test. However, it’s important to remember that simply using band 9 vocabulary will not automatically mean that you get a band 9 in the speaking test.

To get a band 9, you need to be able to express complex ideas and use your English to convey subtle differences in meaning. To improve your IELTS score, check out my IELTS courses.
