One of the
well-kept secrets to scoring high in the IELTS test is the readiness to discuss
any topic under the sun. Sure, you probably won’t encounter subjects that are extremely
specific (e.g., healthcare policies) or obscure (e.g., urban legends). General
topics like food, crime, and media, on the other hand, are not so uncommon.
Music is one
such topic. Due to its prevalence in media, it is often mentioned in the exam’s
texts and audio recordings. It’s also a frequent query in the speaking test.
So, make it a point to expand your related vocabulary during your IELTS training.
