What is a collocation? Some words naturally go together. Many adjectives only “match” certain nouns, so learn them as one chunk.
❌ big rain · strong traffic✅ heavy rain · heavy traffic
🌦️ Weather & Environment
💼 Work & Study
🥗 Health & Lifestyle
🏙️ Society & People
💡 IELTS tip: Natural collocations raise your Lexical Resource score in Speaking and Writing. Use phrases like serious problem, major issue, heavy traffic, healthy lifestyle, natural resources, rapid growth instead of simple words like “big” or “very bad”.
