Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

firstly
secondly
thirdly
in additional

There is no doubt that globalisation has benefited the world by bringing together people, business and nations. People who criticise it stand in the way of progress. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some firmly state that the positive points of globalisation definitely outweigh its drawbacks, in addition, they consider those who criticise it as a hindrance to progress. I agree with this idea only to an extent because I believe that globalisation has some disadvantages that cannot be avoided. Furthermore, everyone has the right to express his own opinions and others must respect them.
