In this video lesson, I introduce a group of IELTS Band 7+ vocabulary words related to “body and mind”. I define each word and give two example sentences: one that would be common in writing or reading, and other that would be common in speaking. Finally, I introduce several collocations (words that are often used together) for each word.
Here’s the video:

Can you help me to correct those sentences if I make mistakes with that.
Thanks so much and I really appreciate.
I have trouble with doing task of filling labels of maps or diagrams in listening test. Can you make a video about that?

Hi there! A few comments:
Your first sentence would probably be “You need to bear these in mind”
Second one should be “before you graduate”
Third “the benefits of its citizens”
Overall, your vocabulary usage seems correct, just small things here and there. Good work!
And yes, I will try to make a listening video on that topic sometime 🙂
Sophie
Hi Lee,
Thanks so much for your correction.
For the second sentence, is “before graduating” accepted?
Lee
Yeah, that would be fine 🙂
