Vocab Options:
without signs symptom asymptomatic signs
symptoms a front line the front line immunisation
immunity lockdown lock down trail
trial trails trials head nose hands
cheeks chin eyes quarantine quarantining
death numbers death toll death fatalities kindness
altruistic care thoughtfulness
Answers:
The answers are the words highlighted in bold below:
- Some people with Covid-19 are asymptomatic. They do not have any symptoms at all.
- asymptomatic = without symptoms showing.
- the word “symptoms” should be plural. It’s a countable following the word “any”.
- People working on the front line should have adequate PPE.
- This expression uses “the”.
- Whether people develop long term immunity after having had the virus is still debatable.
- the word “immunisation” is about inoculations and isn’t suitable for this sentence.
- In some countries lockdown measures are being eased gradually.
- This is one word = “lockdown”
- The first human trials for a vaccine are underway.
- At times like this, you really need to keep your chin up.
- “to keep your chin up” is an idiomatic expression about keeping positive.
- Some countries are deciding on quarantine rules for people entering the country from abroad.
- While some countries are seeing fatalities go down, other countries are seeing an increase.
- This was a tricky one. You can’t have “death numbers” because in English the correct expression is “number of deaths”. You can’t have “death toll” because you would need the article “the” in the sentence (“the death toll”). You can’t have “death” because you would need the plural form “deaths”. So the only possible option which is grammatically correct is “fatalities”.
- This pandemic is revealing people’s altruistic traits.
- None of the other words are grammatically suitable for this sentence.
I hope you found this lesson useful 🙂

I want to say a big Thank you for all the lessons.
I had my speaking test yesterday in Nigeria but it was not a good experience for me. I was through with the part 1 and it was very ok. When it got to part 2 and a cue Card was given to me for the 1 minute preparation. As I looked at my cue card, I found out that the topic was different from what the examiner said I should speak on. I called her attention to let her know but she told me to turn the other side of the Cue Card which I did but the topic was still different. She told me to excuse her by saying I should go outside. After few minutes, she called in another candidate. I became angry and unhappy, then I was called in later and I was given a different speaking test altogether ( parts 123) and to be sincere I don’t think I will make it in the speaking session because of the examiner’s carelessness and incompetence. The mistake was from the examiner.and I can’t fail the IELTS speaking test because of another person.
Please can you tell me what to do . Is there any one I can contact in order to retake the speaking test.
I hope to hear from you.
Thanks
Unfortunately, I doubt you will be offered a new one. When a Speaking test goes wrong, the next test you get is the real one. Unfortunately for you, you felt stressed at the time of the next real test. Certainly you can speak to your test centre and complain, but please don’t expect anything. It’s certainly worth trying. If you have the money, you can book another test immediately and take the whole test again. When you have two test results which are valid, you choose which ones you want to use for your future purposes. Good luck!
Why is it keep your chin up and not keep your head up?
It’s an expression: keep your chin up.

Hi, Liz
I have a question: Do you think it is possible that corona will come as a topic in the IELTS?
Either in writing or speaking ? Or maybe in reading?
It might not appear as the topic “Coronavirus” but it might appear under the topic of “Health” or “Working from Home” or “Socialising Online” or “Being alone” etc. You can use all these words to express yourself in such topics and relate it to your experience of the current situation we all face today.
