2.   Lexical Resource (Scored 1~9) 
Many people (even examiners) call this section as the ―vocabulary‖ score. 
There are some common misunderstandings about how this score is awarded. 
I have often been asked the following question: ―How many words do I need to know 
to get a vocabulary score of 7?‖ 
This  question  is  almost  impossible  to  answer  because  the  marking  system  does  not 
base the ―Vocabulary‖ score on how many words you know. 
The ―Vocabulary‖ section of the marking system is based on the type of words you 
use and how you use them. 
The language points featured in this section of the marking system include: 

 
Ability to use lest common words 

 
Use of idiomatic language 

 
Paraphrasing (explaining words that you don't know) 

 
Ability to talk about unfamiliar topics 

 
Ability to convey precise meaning 
A candidate will score 6 in this section if he/ she can produce the following features: 

 
Can produce vocabulary for most topics in some detail. 

 
Can explain ―vocabulary gaps‖ by using other words. 

 
Does not confuse meaning by using vocabulary incorrectly. 
A  Lexical  Resource  6  is  not  difficult  to  score.  In  general,  Chinese  candidates  can 
score 6 in this section  quite easily because they usually know quite a lot of English words 
and have prepared vocabulary for most topics. If a candidate fails to paraphrase or explain

―vocabulary gaps‖ this may reduce the score to 5 in some cases.
