Noun + Verb Collocation
conduct research
/kənˈdʌkt rɪˈsɜːrtʃ/
"The university will conduct research on climate change."
Note: While "do research" is acceptable in speaking, "conduct" or "carry out" research is expected in C1/C2 writing. Never use "make research".
Adjective + Noun Collocation
compelling evidence
/kəmˈpɛlɪŋ ˈɛvɪdəns/
"The study provides compelling evidence for the new economic theory."
Upgrade: Stop using "good evidence" or "strong evidence". "Compelling" implies the evidence is so strong it forces you to agree.
Noun + Verb Collocation
draw a conclusion
/drɔː ə kənˈkluːʒən/
"We cannot draw a conclusion without analyzing more data."
Warning: In many languages, you "make" a conclusion. In advanced English, you must "draw" or "reach" a conclusion.
Adjective + Noun Collocation
profound impact
/prəˈfaʊnd ˈɪmpækt/
"Artificial Intelligence has a profound impact on modern education."
Vocabulary Note: "Big impact" sounds elementary. Use "profound", "significant", or "substantial" impact to elevate your writing score.
