3 Less common synonyms
To get Band 7 or higher in IELTS Speaking, it helps to use a few less common synonyms of common
words. This shows the examiner that you have a wide vocabulary. Match the synonyms on the left
to the common adjectives on the right.
1. handy a. cheap
2. defective b. expensive
3. impractical c. faulty
4. pricey d. old-fashioned
5. inexpensive e. useful
6. state-of-the-art f. useless
7. outdated g. very modern
Work in pairs. Choose a product that you bought from Exercise 1 and describe it using one or two of
the synonyms from this exercise. Your partner must try to guess the product. Try to use qualifiers (a
bit, pretty, rather, very, extremely, etc.) to make your speaking sound more natural. Example:
"It’s an electronic gadget. It was pretty pricey when I bought it. Now it’s rather inexpensive."
