DO NOT memorize answers:
Some students make a mistake of preparing scripted answers ahead of time. It is a big fall, as examiners can tell that the answers are scripted. This habit can affect your score adversely. Therefore, it is advisable never memorize your answer beforehand.
DO NOT use complicated words
Some students make a mistake of using big complicated words thinking that it will impress the examiner. However, this strategy can backfire badly. Every word has its context and degree. If the words are not used in proper context and don’t sound natural, it will put a terrible impression on the examiner. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using big words in the speaking and writing modules of the IELTS exam.

DO NOT say or write nothing to very little:
