Vocabulary study involves more than just translation. To use a word you also need to understand frequency, pronunciation, spelling, part of speech, word family, register, usage and collocation. This video looks at each of these features. https://t.co/m0H941cuTt

The 3rd video in the Enrich Your Vocabulary for IELTS & TOEFL series is on the topic of Crime. 20 words and phrases, but lots of additional vocabulary and collocations along the way.

@IELTSetc Nice Q. If in doubt, check word lists out? Fluctuate is in both AWL and AVL and looks like a solid academic word, while oscillate is in neither but occurs in the SVL (technical lists) for Physics. Maybe some writers use them interchangeably but academic writing should be precise.
