INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Do you need to:
become more articulate?
improve your vocabulary skills quickly and effectively?
succeed in important examinations, such as the IELTS?
IELTS Interactive Flash Cards - 2500 Key Words Book 1: Intermediate/Advanced is a Kindle e-
book that can help you thoroughly master thousands of high score words. It will enable you to
capture the power of active recall and spaced repetition, which scientists say are the best principles
of efficient learning.
Acquire the vocabulary you need with our powerful approach:
IELTS High-Frequency Word Lists
Interactive feedback
Comprehensive definitions (powered by the Kindle/Kindle apps Built-in dictionaries)
Specially designed for the Kindle
• AUDIO PRONUNCIATION FOR EVERY HEADWORD! (when using the FREE Kindle
Cloud Reader)
It enables you to:
adapt your learning to your way of life (with Kindle Whispersync technology)
test yourself and monitor your progress
study anywhere/anytime
If you are preparing for the IELTS, studying advanced vocabulary is absolutely essential to get the
maximum score. Knowing hundreds of “tough” words will greatly improve your comprehension
skills and your fluency. IELTS Interactive Flash Cards - 2500 Key Words Book 1:
Intermediate/Advanced can help you in a way no other ordinary book can. It is ideal for self-study
whenever you want, wherever you are. You study our interactive flash cards and you receive
feedback right away. It’s as if you have a private English vocabulary tutor on the spot explaining
these words in detail again and again. After studying the flash cards in this unique e-book, you will
have mastered thousands of must-know words quickly and easily. Our specially designed e-book
enables you to make the best use of the Kindle Built-in dictionary so you can delve deeper into the
meaning and usage of a word. This e-book is very convenient even if you don’t own a Kindle
device; you can download it simultaneously to your desktop, laptop, smart phone or tablet, thanks
to the FREE Kindle applications. You can save and synchronize your notes and highlights across all
your devices, so you can start studying on one device, and pick up where you left off on another
device.
Many advanced words can be easily confused or misused because they sometimes appear to be
deceptively synonymous. Only by studying their precise definitions can we understand their
differences and use them appropriately. A comprehensive definition, such as those provided by the
authoritative Kindle dictionary, is much easier to understand and, as a result, much more
memorable. Flash cards are a time-tested and very effective memorization tool. Nonetheless, some
printed flash card sets and digital flash card applications leave a great deal to be desired mainly
because they don’t provide clear definitions of the words they introduce. Worse still, printed flash
card sets are too bulky to carry around and a lot of digital flash card applications are available on
only one platform or device, which can be very limiting.
IELTS Interactive Flash Cards - 2500 Key Words Book 1: Intermediate/Advanced has none of
these disadvantages. It makes it easier than ever before to maximize your study time. Our system
enables you to increase your word power:
• in depth
• whenever you want
• on any major platform/ device that you select
The more key words you know, the higher your IELTS score can be. IELTS Interactive Flash
Cards - 2500 Key Words Book 1: Intermediate/Advanced is a simple but powerful method for
vocabulary expansion.

INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS
• Each page features a list of 25 key words.
• Select each key word and look up its definition.
• Study its pronunciation, meaning, usage and example sentences.
• Make a note of any particular grammatical construction.
• Highlight the key words you do not know.
• Review the highlighted words as often as possible.
Once you feel confident you know a word, delete its highlight.
.
• Review the flash card frequently. Research suggests that learners need to meet an unknown word
a number of times before it becomes part of their active vocabulary. When a word is particularly
hard to remember, try to use it appropriately when speaking or writing. After some time, it will be
impossible to forget!
• A few minutes of studying every day can take you a long way. Download our e-book onto your
laptop, tablet and smart phone. Review your flash cards at any opportunity. Thanks to Kindle
Wisphersync technology, you can save and synchronize your notes, highlights and bookmarks
across all your devices. This way you will save time by focusing only on the vocabulary items you
need the most.
• Be persistent!
HOW TO BLOCK OUT DISTRACTIONS
HOW TO BLOCK OUT DISTRACTIONS
Observe yourself while you study this interactive vocabulary workbook. Do you find it hard to
concentrate? What are the time wasters that suck you in? Is it Twitter, Facebook, an online game?
Could you turn off your cell phone, the Internet or your TV for a few minutes?
Remind yourself that you are not depriving yourself of the pleasures of life; you simply postpone
other activities until after you have finished your daily study. Paradoxically, this way you can have
the best of both worlds; you will be working towards your goals and you will be able to reward
yourself with your favorite activities.
The hard truth is that if you are easily distracted you won’t change overnight despite your best
intentions. Be persistent and patient. Once you realize your attention has strayed, gently go back to
studying. The more often you manage to focus on the activities that matter the most, the easier and
more natural it will seem.
You may realize that eliminating distractions is not as easy as it sounds; however, you shouldn’t get
discouraged or jump to hasty conclusions about your concentration abilities. After all, we are only
human! Blocking out distractions when you study is a useful skill that you need to improve. Your
patience and persistence will eventually pay off.
HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED
HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED
Make a card that lists the advantages of studying this workbook. An “Advantages Card’’ for
vocabulary learning may include:
• I will boost my IELTS score.
• I will build a powerful vocabulary.
• I will greatly improve my reading comprehension skills.
• I will improve my speaking and writing.
Read this card every morning before you start your day. By reading the advantages card often, you
strengthen your intrinsic motivation. Don’t neglect to give yourself credit and reward yourself every
time you study this e-book. Even though studying vocabulary can be tedious, it is an excellent
investment of your time.
HOW TO OVERCOME SELF-SABOTAGING THOUGHTS
HOW TO OVERCOME SELF-SABOTAGING THOUGHTS
Quite often sabotaging thoughts may discourage you from achieving your true potential.
These sabotaging thoughts can be either negative or positive and usually lead to academic
underachievement.
Negative sabotaging thoughts or feelings distort reality by conveying the message that “no matter
what we do, we won’t succeed’’; therefore, it’s pointless to start studying or continue it. Positive
“Peter Pan’’ thinking intoxicates us by implying we are so special or talented that we can easily have
everything we want, and we can magically achieve everything we wish for. As a result, we do not
need to try as hard as other people.
Examples of “negative’’ sabotaging thoughts:
• There are too many words in this e-book; it’s impossible for me to learn all of them.
• If I don’t learn all these words, I will fail.
• I’m lazy. I won’t do the exercises.
• I’m not in the mood. I won’t study today.
• I forgot half of the words I learnt yesterday. What’s the point?
• I didn’t study at all last week; it’s pointless to study again.
Examples of “positive’’ sabotaging thoughts:
• I’ve learned a hundred new words already; I think that’s more than enough. I don’t need to
study anymore.
• I don’t need to do the revision exercises. They’re a waste of time.
• I won’t study this week, but I’ll cram hard on the weekend. I will study all day long and learn
everything.
• Most people need time to learn these words, but I can easily learn them all without any effort!
Learn to recognize and challenge these unrealistic thoughts, but NOT yourself. Accept the fact that
we all have the tendency to sabotage our goals. Gently ignore this negative way of thinking and
learn to focus on your study instead.
Ask yourself:
• What is the proof that this thought is absolutely true?
• Am I 100% sure I’m right?
• Is this thought constructive or destructive?
• Does it help me achieve my goals?
• If my best friend wanted to learn these words, what would I advise him/her? Can I practice what
I preach?
• Which actions will improve my life 5 years from now? Which actions will sabotage it?
Remember to regularly review your “Advantages Card for vocabulary learning”. It can ignite your
passion for learning and strengthen your determination to get out of your comfort zone. Remind
yourself that this daily investment of your time is aligned with your principles and your personal
goals. Always give yourself credit for your hard work. Think of your dreams, your career
aspirations, your principles and values. They will help you diffuse your negative self talk and take
constructive action.
Believe in yourself, be patient and... Good Luck!
