Speaking?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today we answer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/ielts\/ielts-energy-281-need-use-british-slang-ielts\/\">this extremely common question.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-1499-learn-american-british-english\/\">We also share slang that both British and American use.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Native speakers use both!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll explain why this is perfectly acceptable on IELTS.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Today\u2019s question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This question is from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/keys\">3 Keys<\/a> student Bharath Vishwanatham.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>I grew up in India where we use British English for speaking and writing, but I live in Canada where I use North American English. <\/p>\n<p>I kind of observed myself that I mix both the formats in my speaking as well as writing. <\/p>\n<p>Do you think this will confuse the instructor in the IELTS test and lead to a lower score?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is an excellent question, and a common one that we have received from students in the past as well.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Structure differences<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>American<\/strong>: You haven\u2019t done that, right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>British<\/strong>: Haven\u2019t you done that?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are both grammatically correct.<\/p>\n<p>These will both sound correct to the Examiner.<\/p>\n<p>Natives hear both accents often through travel, TV, movies, podcasts and music.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Vocabulary differences<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are many words that are specific to a culture or dialect.<\/p>\n<p>Some words do have specific meanings and won\u2019t be understood in other countries.<\/p>\n<p>However, the jargon from other cultures is often adopted into our vernacular.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>jargon<\/strong>: special words or phrases used by a specific group<\/li>\n<li><strong>vernacular<\/strong>: the language or dialect spoken in a particular area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Pronunciation differences<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some words are pronounced very differently in British and American English.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>aluminum<\/li>\n<li>laboratory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Listen to the episode to hear both pronunciations.<\/p>\n<p>They are very different!<\/p>\n<p>You are allowed to use both on IELTS, with the same resulting score.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Will this affect your score?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nope, it won\u2019t!<\/p>\n<p>You can choose things that Americans or British citizens would say.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing on the rubric that instructs you to stick to one vernacular.<\/p>\n<p>You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/ielts\/expressions-idioms-slang-ielts\/\">slang and idioms<\/a> from any English-speaking country.<\/p>\n<p>The Examiner knows you are not from America or Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, they won\u2019t expect you to speak only as a citizen of one of those nations.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, pulling in slang from a variety of countries shows a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/ielts\/formal-informal-vocabulary-ielts\/\">range of Vocabulary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This range is required for a 7 or higher.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Will this confuse the Examiner?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>No, it won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>The requirements for IELTS Examiners are very high.<\/p>\n<p>They have to have a master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>They must have taught English for a minimum of 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but those taking the exam hail from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, Examiners are used to all the different lingo that is used.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>lingo<\/strong>: the vocabulary of a particular group of people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>#1: Rubbish<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In British English, rubbish means garbage.<\/p>\n<p>In American English, we use this word to mean \u201cnonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If we don\u2019t believe what someone says, we might say:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>That\u2019s rubbish!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a great slang term for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/ielts\/ielts-energy-977-the-skinny-on-slang-for-speaking-part-1\/\">Speaking Part 1 <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/ielts\/ielts-video-change-your-life-with-this-ielts-speaking-part-2-answer\/\">Speaking Part 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You could also use it on an <a

aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3><strong>#2: Knackered<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In British English, this means tired.<\/p>\n<p>Americans are starting to adopt this term.<\/p>\n<p>We also will call someone \u201cknackered\u201d to say they are tired.<\/p>\n<p>Americans using this term might be considered haughty.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they\u2019re trying to show off that they went to London recently!<\/p>\n<p>However, when second language learners use slang from different countries, it\u2019s endearing.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
