A big list of antonyms for IELTS / TOEFL and TOIEC

  

 
Here’s a great list of academic antonyms to help you with your IELTS speaking and writing.

Lists are great, but how can you use them? Do you learn them? Do you just read them? What do you do? Read the advice below.

1. Read through this list and circle 10-15 antonym pairs that you don’t know and learn them. Test yourself on them.
2. Read through the list. Choose ten hard pairs you don’t know, print them off and stick them on your wall / toilet wall / fridge door – anywhere you will look, often
3. Play a game with them like the awesome word frog game http://www.arcademics.com/games/frog/frog.html
4. Play pelmanism. Choose ten you think are useful. Write them on small pieces of paper. Put them face down on a table. Now turn each one over and try to match the pairs.
