Lesson 6 of 8 · Lexical resource

Paraphrase with precise vocabulary

Choose accurate familiar words, avoid memorised idioms and recover when a word is missing.

1

Prefer precise common language

A familiar word used accurately is stronger than a rare word used in the wrong context. Precision means naming the exact action or effect.

2

Paraphrase the missing word

If a word disappears, explain its function, appearance or purpose. This keeps communication moving and shows flexible language use.

3

Use collocations, not decoration

Words often occur in natural combinations such as 'heavy traffic'. Memorised idioms can sound forced when they do not fit the question or register.

Next-attempt checklist

  • Choose accurate words.
  • Explain around a missing term.
  • Check that word combinations sound natural.
