Lexical Resource: Everything you NEED to Know

In the IELTS writing and speaking tests, you are assigned 25% of your grade due to your performance in Lexical Resource. But what does that mean? Put simply, Lexical Resource means your vocabulary, but actually it is a lot more complicated than most people think, and there are many myths surrounding it.

Along the way, I will tell you some things to avoid and give you some advice on how to study more effectively.
