‫Here is part two of your vocabulary lesson for Alt's writing task two and the last lesson, we really
‫focused on topic specific language, but in this lesson, we'll be learning how to use something called
‫structure, specific vocabulary.
‫So by the end of the lesson, you'll understand what this is and how you can use it in your essay.
‫Let's take a look back at the band descriptors to understand why lexical resource is so important.
‫To achieve a band seven in electrical resource for alt writing tasks, too, you must be able to use
‫a fairly advanced range of vocabulary.
‫Your understanding of synonyms will be very important, and it's also critical you are able to paraphrase
‫effectively.
‫For a band aid score in lexical resource, you will have to do all of those things, being able, to
‫paraphrase, have a great range of vocabulary, use synonyms, understand collocations, and possibly
‫use some idioms.
‫You'll need to be able to do all of this without making too many errors.
‫So that is it for your band descriptors, all about lexical resource, and the reason I'm showing you
‫this is to highlight how important your range of vocabulary and being able to paraphrase using synonyms
‫is in this lesson.
‫I will show you some structure, specific vocabulary that you can definitely use and it will help you
‫to score higher band scores.
‫So what actually is structure, specific vocabulary?
‫Well, it's a language we can commonly use in each section of our four step essay structure.
‫Please make sure you know down any of the language that I show you in this lesson.
‫Let's move on to the first section, which is our introduction.
‫And here is our test to question in cities across the world, many people are living in large apartment
‫blocks.
‫What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
‫I'll show you a wireframe with some language you can use for each sentence in the three-step structure.
‫So to paraphrase.
‫In densely populated areas, the majority of people are finding accommodation in large blocks of flats.
‫Now, in my first sentence, I've really paraphrased only three phrases.
‫Let's take a look at them now.
‫So instead of cities, I've used densely populated areas.
‫I use finding accommodation, to paraphrase for the word living.
‫And instead of apartment blocks, I've used a large blocks of flats, so they are the three phrases
‫that I paraphrase from the question, as I said previously, this is a great way to start off your introduction
‫as it shows The Examiner.
‫You understand what the question means.
‫The key vocabulary for sentence to is in this essay and throughout this essay.
‫It's also very important to identify the type of question, for example, I've highlighted in blue the
‫advantages and disadvantages.
‫But this could be changed for problem and solution or whatever other type of question it is.
‫You can use either of these two sentence openers to begin your planned sentence.
‫So the third sentence, you may remember, the key language being the time opener's firstly and secondly.
‫Remember that the purpose of our outlined sentence is to tell the examiner exactly what we will write
‫in supporting paragraph one and two for that reason, that time openers are very useful.
‫You can also see that I've used firstly I will discuss and secondly, I will share.
‫You could also use explore if you like.
‫That's all for the key language, for the introduction, so let's move on to our supporting paragraph's.
‫First, let's take a look at the question some people say advertisements encourage us to buy products
‫we don't really need.
‫Others say they can help us to learn about new products that could improve our lives.
‫Which side do you agree with now?
‫Our language focus here will be to use these main point openers.
‫Let's take a look at the first one.
‫To begin with, many people feel they are brainwashed into buying food products that are unhealthy.
‫Firstly, there is a common belief that marketing can make you buy things you don't need.
‫First of all, it is true to say that many people dislike advertising.
‫To start with, advertisements can definitely change our behavior to buy certain things.
‫Many people feel advertisements influence their buying decisions and shopping behavior.
‫In the first place, advertisements do often mean buying products you wouldn't normally.
‫So here's some key vocabulary and phrases to begin your main point, a really good way to start your
‫topic sentence.
‫Let's have a look at how we can begin our supporting sentences.
‫Now, the question has stayed the same, and just underneath that, I've added my first sentence in
‫a supporting paragraph or as you'll remember, the topic sentence.
‫Let's take a look at the supporting sentence using the following OpenNet.
‫Furthermore, it is highly important to save money for future hardships.
‫As a result of high spending, people can get themselves into debt with their banks.
‫Moreover, there are other priorities for spending, such as education and health.
‫Consequently, people influenced by adverts may have less money to spend on food.
‫What is more, these surplus products may also have a negative impact on people's health.
‫As an effect, many people feel disappointed for buying products they don't need.
‫So here is some excellent structure, specific vocabulary that you can use for your supporting paragraphs,
‫I suggest bookmarking this part of the lesson, taking a screenshot or noting all these phrases down
‫as you can definitely use them in your essay to.
‫Let's move on to the final section of this lesson, which is vocabulary, all about our conclusion.
‫Here are some opening phrases that you can use.
‫Firstly, let's read through the question.
‫Some people say advertisements encourage us to buy products we don't really need.
‫Others say they can help us to learn about new products that could improve our lives.
‫Which side do you agree with?
‫Now, I'm sure you will have noticed that my vocabulary table is split into two colors.
‫Blue is for the sentence to summarize and red is for the sentence to give your opinion.
‫And remember, you don't always have to give your opinion in your conclusion, only if you're asked
‫in the question.
‫Let's see the first example.
‫To sum up, it is very clear advertisements have a big influence on our behavior for many reasons.
‫In conclusion, we can say there are some positives and negatives to advertisements.
‫In summary, people have many different feelings about advertisements and marketing campaigns.
‫I believe that advertisements should be carefully monitored by the government.
‫In my opinion, advertisements have too much power and result in is wasting lots of money.
‫I feel that advertisements can help us to find new products that can help us to be healthier or happier.
‫So that winds up our lesson all around structure, specific vocabulary.
‫There was a lot of language included in this lesson, so you may want to review the lesson, know it
‫and go back through certain sections of this lesson.
