Are you looking for a band score of 7 or over? If so, then you need to think about using some more advanced vocabulary. You will find here some suggestions for useful language to describe trends in charts and graphs in academic part 1. In each case, I list some words and phrases and give you some notes on how to use them. Also check out the groovy interactive exercises to test your skills.

I.Verbs
These verbs are alternatives to the basic rise and fall vocabulary. One benefit of using them is that sometimes they help you avoid repeating too many numbers. If you have a strong verb, you don’t always have to give the exact figure.
Up verbs


Notes: 

• “Soar “and “rocket” are both very strong words that describe large rises. “Rocket” is more sudden. You probably do not need to qualify these verbs with adverbs.
• “Leap” shows a large and sudden rise. Again, you probably do not need to qualify it with an adverb.
• “Climb” is a relatively neutral verb that can be used with the adverbs below.
  

Down verbs

Notes: 

• “Plummet” is the strongest word here. It means to fall very quickly and a long way.
• “Drop”  and “dip” are normally used for fairly small decreases
• “Slip back” is used for falls that come after rises
• “Drop” and “Dip” are also frequently used as nouns: eg “a slight dip” “a sudden drop”
  

• a significant rise – correct (adjective/noun)
• rose significantly – correct (adverb/verb)
• a significantly rise – wrong wrong wrong
  

• dramatically – correct
• dramaticly – wrong
• dramaticaly – wrong
  

Adjectives of degree

notes 

• “sudden” and “sharp” can be used of relatively minor changes that happen quickly
• “spectacular” and “dramatic” are very strong words only to used to big, big, big changes
  

Steady adjectives


Small adjectives

notes 

• “marginal” is a particularly useful word for describing very small changes
  

Other useful adjectivesThese adjectives can be used to describes more general trends

notes

• “overall” can be used to describe changes in trend over the whole period: very useful in introductions and conclusions
• “upward” and “downward” are adjectives: the adverbs are “upwards” and “downwards”
