570 academic word list

This document is a collection of 570 Academic word list and synonyms itself.
This is created by Minh Hoa, my dear sister; edited and provided by IELTS Duc Thang Bui.
When writing an essay, you can replace some simple words by some academic words; however, the most important thing is the context of such
these words. Be careful when using them.
