IELTS Improvement Points

Collocation:

investment opportunity
　→ More natural and idiomatic than “investment target”. Commonly used in financial and academic contexts.

invest in [something]
　→ Correct phrase. We say “invest in gold” (not “invest to gold”).

feel anxious and hopeful
　→ Stronger and more natural pairing than “feel anxiety and hope”. Collocations with emotions are important for fluency.

Template:

Since [time], I have been [verb+ing]…
　→ A present perfect continuous structure that clearly links past with present. Example: Since last year, I have been studying English. Useful in IELTS Task 1 and 2 for time relationships.

I prefer [noun/verb + ing] that [clause].
　→ Example: I prefer books that give practical advice. This structure improves precision and complexity in writing.

Vocabulary:

steadily
　→ Better than “continually” here. “Steadily” implies stable and consistent growth. “Continually” often suggests repetition with interruptions.

excluding
　→ More formal and academic than “exclude”. Correct form for sentence flow. Example: Excluding weekends, the project took ten days.

results
　→ Correct plural form (not “resalt”). Used for investment returns or academic outcomes. Example: I am waiting for the exam results.

space industry / space sector
　→ More precise than “space fields”. “Industry” or “sector” are the standard collocations in business/finance contexts.
