IELTS Band 7+ Vocabulary Lesson 1: Family

0:00 hello and welcome to this ielt master

0:03 band 7 plus vocabulary lesson this

0:07 lesson is lesson one and it's on family

0:11 so let's get started let's talk about

0:14 the structure for this vocabulary

0:17 course My Philosophy is that in order to

0:22 really learn vocabulary you need to know

0:25 words in a deep

0:27 way so in this lesson I've given you

0:31 definitions with notes and example

0:36 sentences collocations and collocation

0:39 is a new word possibly it means words

0:43 that go together often and finally an action step to end

0:48 each lesson so each lesson in this

0:52 vocabulary course will have words with

0:56 definitions notes and example

0:58 sentences a cocation chart or picture

1:02 for these words and at the end of each

1:05 lesson there will be an action

1:08 step so let's take a look at the words

1:11 for this lesson now again the theme is

1:16 family for this lesson the words are

1:20 sibling relative adolescence nurture and

1:28 relationship you might know some of

1:30 these words already but the chances are

1:36 that you will learn some new

1:37 combinations or collocations with these

1:40 words or maybe a new example sentence

1:44 that uses the word in a way you didn't

1:47 know or you hadn't thought of

1:50 before let's look at word number one

1:53 sibling the definition is a brother or

1:57 sister this is quite simple right

2:01 sibling as is noted is often used

2:05 instead of brother or sister in writing

2:09 it's also used that way in

2:12 speech Let's Take a look at some example

2:15 sentences first siblings can have a

2:18 profound impact on a child's

2:23 life so brothers and sisters can have a

2:26 profound impact on a child's life and

2:29 profound means big I didn't have any siblings growing

2:34 up so I learned to be

2:38 independent this might be a sentence you

2:40 say during an ielt speaking interview

2:43 and last in China One of the effects of

2:47 the one child policy was that many

2:50 children grew up without a

2:53 sibling so we use siblings with an s in

2:57 the first two sentences but we can also

2:59 use it it like in the last sentence with

3:02 a meaning one sibling one brother or one

3:06 sister next let's look at

3:10 collocations to get started easy we

3:13 chose a word like sibling that doesn't

3:16 have a lot of

3:18 collocations what does collocation mean

3:20 collocation means a word or words that

3:24 go together often sibling rivalry is a

3:29 common collocation that means you'll see

3:32 these two words together sibling and

3:35 rivalry what does sibling rivalry mean

3:39 well when you have a brother or

3:42 sister that like to compete with each

3:45 other in lots of different things maybe

3:48 in sports maybe in eating food at the

3:51 dinner table maybe in business or just

3:55 something in life when they always like

3:57 to compete with each other then it's a

4:00 sibling rivalry got it great let's

4:06 continue next is relative a relative is a person in the

4:12 same family or a family

4:15 member and some example

4:18 sentences with the rise of nuclear

4:21 families the amount of time spent with

4:24 extended relatives has decreased so we have nuclear families

4:31 this is like the parents and the

4:32 children and then extended relatives

4:35 extended relatives would be relatives

4:38 like aunts and uncles and cousins maybe

4:43 grandparents the next sentence is when I

4:46 was younger I used to spend a lot of

4:49 time with my relatives while my parents

4:51 were away on business in this sentence we use

4:56 relatives to say not parents but

5:01 family and last hiring relatives can

5:06 create family problems if there are

5:08 difficulties at work and let's look at some cations wow

5:14 here we have six different

5:16 collocations now there are many many

5:18 more collocations for each word but for

5:21 this course I've chosen six of the most

5:24 common collocations for this

5:28 word first is care for relative okay to care

5:34 for for example on weekends I go to the hospital

5:40 to care for my

5:42 relatives just like you could say

5:44 grandparents or aunt and uncle to care

5:47 for your relatives next is other

5:50 relatives I have my brother and sister

5:53 and then I have other relatives that

5:55 live in the house as

5:56 well distant relatives distant relatives are your family

6:03 members that are far away from you not

6:07 in terms of how far away in your country

6:10 they are but from you in your family so

6:14 for example my mother's cousin son could

6:17 be an example of a distant relative on

6:20 the other side close relative a close

6:24 relative is someone that you have a

6:26 close relationship with that's in your

6:28 family elderly relative someone who is

6:32 older and your relative and finally

6:34 visit relatives now this is a common

6:37 cocation it's common to

6:39 say next year I'm going to visit my

6:42 relatives in Europe or something like

6:45 that number three adolescence

6:50 adolescence the definition of

6:52 adolescence is the period between

6:55 childhood and adulthood and

7:00 this means the teenage years so if you

7:02 look at the note if we have adolescents

7:05 with a t and an s or adolescent without

7:09 the S it basically means teenager so

7:13 think 13 to about 19 years old could be

7:18 adolescence let's say that one more time

7:20 because it's a little bit difficult

7:24 adolescence and example sentences adolesence can be a difficult

7:30 time both for the child and the parent

7:34 very true in regards to prison sentences I

7:38 believe that adolescents should be

7:41 treated the same way as adults and note

7:46 change CE at the end of the word to TS

7:50 to describe people not the period of

7:53 time so the first example sentence is

7:56 the period of time and the second

7:58 example senten is is the person or the

8:02 people collocations for adolescence well

8:05 we have early adolescence early adolescence is like 13

8:11 14 15 years old during

8:14 adolescence and childhood and

8:17 Adolescence adolescence is a good

8:19 comparison word for childhood you have childhood adolescence

8:27 adulthood next nurture definition of nurture is to help

8:34 someone or something develop and grow

8:37 and you can see the picture of the

8:39 person nurturing the plant on the top

8:43 right also note the adjective form of

8:47 nurture is nurturing so let's look at some example

8:53 sentences first nature versus nurture is

8:57 a common topic among scientists

9:00 it discusses whether a person's life is

9:03 mostly from his DNA nature or from life

9:08 experiences and his environment

9:11 nurture so this is an interesting

9:13 sentence and an interesting topic if

9:16 you're interested in this copy or type

9:19 in nature versus nurture into Google or

9:22 another search engine and take a

9:27 look next sentence growing up in a healthy and nurturing

9:33 environment can prepare children for

9:35 future success here we're using nurture

9:39 in its adjective form nurturing next to

9:44 environment collocations we have nurture by someone

9:52 or nurture bu something and to nurture Talent so if a

9:59 child is talented perhaps a coach will nurture

10:04 their talent and help them become better

10:08 at what they're doing and nurture by

10:12 someone for example the child was

10:15 nurtured by their coach for many

10:20 years number five relationship the definition of

10:25 relationship is the way in which two

10:28 people group groups or countries behave

10:32 towards each other or deal with each

10:34 other and it says two people but really

10:36 a relationship can be more than two

10:39 people and some example

10:42 sentences I have a good working

10:44 relationship with my boss maintaining a strong relationship

10:51 with your friends becomes more difficult

10:54 later in life the relationship between the police

10:59 and local community has

11:02 improved now of course you probably know

11:05 relationship the interesting thing about

11:07 relationship is the collocations first we have relationship

11:15 between for example a relationship

11:18 between two people relationship with for example a

11:24 relationship with your parents a

11:27 relationship with your family or with

11:30 your boss next establish a relationship

11:35 this means to make a relationship to

11:37 create a relationship next a close relationship

11:42 up on the top right a close relationship

11:45 you have a good a strong a close

11:47 relationship with a person next a

11:51 personal relationship personal relationship usually Compares with work

11:58 relationship so if you develop a

12:01 personal relationship with someone then

12:04 maybe you have a friendship with them

12:08 and last a special relationship I think

12:11 you understand what this one

12:13 means so that's the five words for this

12:18 lesson your action step for today is to

12:21 use each word to write two sentences and

12:24 post your sentences in the comments

12:27 below be sure to use the collocations

12:30 that I introduced whenever you can it's

12:33 good practice to use these collocations

12:38 deeply understand these words when it
