   Barron's Essential Words for the IELTS will help familiarize you with the vocabulary you will find on the reading and listening sections of the IELTS exam (International English Language Testing System).

Plant Life in the Taklimakan Desert.
The Taklimakan Desert second In size only to Africa’s Sahara Desert occupies some 337,600 square kilometers (130,300 square miles) of northwestern China—an area about the size of Finland. Sparse rainfall, dally temperature swings of up to 20°C (68°F), and violent sandstorms make it one of the most extreme environments on Earth.

Eighty-five percent2 of the Taklimakan Desert consists of shifting sand dunes, some up to 250 meters tall, that are largely free of vegetation. Yet transitional areas between the open desert and oases on the desert fringe support diverse plant forms that not only have adapted to the harsh conditions but actually thrive there.
