Introduction
For most English tests, like TOEIC, TOEFL or IELTS, it is helpful to have a good vocabulary. This can make every part of the test easier, which will probably increase your score. However, most students do not know how to study vocabulary well. This short article will suggest one way to do that: make connections between words. By doing this you will not only learn those words more easily, but also remember them for longer.

The human brain is very good at making connections between
things, and very good at remembering those connections. The
human brain is not so good at remembering isolated pieces of
information. So, if you try to learn new
vocabulary by connecting a new word with other words that
you already know, you will probably remember it easily and
well. If, on the other hand, you try to learn new words
individually, you may find it hard to remember them. In a
test situation, this will probably reduce your score.

Introduction
Having a large vocabulary is a highly effective way to improve your TOEIC, TOEFL and IELTS score, as well as your overall English ability. However, memorizing many new words is not only boring and difficult, but often also time-consuming. An alternative approach is to combine learning some new words with learning to use the vocabulary you already know more easily, effectively and naturally. Learning collocations is a great way to do this.

What are collocations? Basically, collocations – also known as 'word
combinations' – ÂÂare a pair or group of words that are often used together
by native speakers in the same sentence or phrase. Collocations are often
combinations like verb + noun or adjective + noun. Some common examples of
collocations are 'catch a cold', 'catch a bus' and 'catch something that
somebody said'. You can see that all of these examples use the same verb,
'catch' but a different object (noun).
