Collocations are natural word combinations (e.g., make a decision, not do a decision). They improve fluency and show a wide lexical resource in IELTS. In this lesson, students learn why collocations matter for both Speaking and Writing.
Instruction: Read the PDF, watch the video, then try the task.
Task Example: Write 3 collocations with the word decision (e.g., make a decision, reach a decision, final decision).

Students are introduced to seven main types: adverb+adjective, adjective+noun, noun+noun, noun+verb, verb+noun, verb+preposition, verb+adverb. Using them makes English natural and precise.
Instruction: Study examples in the PDF, Watch lesson, then practice with the task.
