雅思單字：教育
教育是雅思的高頻話題，因為每位考生都有親身經歷。寫作 Task 2 常問：大學是否應該免費？實用技能是否比學術知識更重要？科技如何改變課堂？口語 Part 1 可能只是問你的學習情況，而 Part 3 則可能討論大學 degree 的意義這樣的大問題。
本詞組收集了準確談論教育體系所需的詞彙。可以先從學段入手：primary、secondary、tertiary 教育，再到 undergraduate 和 graduate 階段。談費用時用 tuition 和 scholarship；談學生的具體學習活動，有 lecture、seminar、tutorial、assignment、essay、dissertation。討論學習內容時，curriculum 指整體課程體系，syllabus 指某一門課的教學大綱——這兩個詞考生經常混用。
很多高分作文會比較學術路線與 vocational 職業教育，或討論某些科目是否應當 compulsory。literacy、numeracy、qualification 能幫你寫清教育目標和僱主需求；談學術誠信時，plagiarism 是最準確的詞；assessment 則涵蓋考試、課程作業等各種評估方式。就連 atlas（地圖集）這樣的小詞，在口語 Part 1 談到地理課和地圖時也很有用。
注意拼寫和搭配。英式英語寫作 enrol 和 enrolment（結尾一個 l）；英語裡說 enrol on a course、attend a lecture，取得學位用 obtain/earn a degree，參加考試用 sit/take an exam。這些固定搭配能讓你的表達更地道。
每天花幾分鐘用卡片學習：今天的新詞明天會進行隔夜複習，之後隨著熟悉程度逐步拉長間隔。每次學完，試著口頭回答一道練習題，例如"Should university education be free for everyone?"，並在回答中用上至少五個本詞組的單字。
