at the jumble sale just a few months ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed being of assistance. There are a number of things I could do to help out. I can come early in the morning to the institute before we leave and make sure everybody is accounted for and on the bus. But of particular relevance is the fact that I can speak French and I know Paris quite well, so I will be able to assist with the day-to-day practicalities of moving the children around and going to the museums and other attractions that we will visit. There are, though, some things I would still like to know about and to clarify. Do you have an itinerary you can send me so I know what we are going to see whilst there?

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.

Today single-use products are still very common. What are the problems associated with this? What are some possible solutions?
Nowadays we use single-use products in our life a lot. I agree with this statement that it can lead to pollution of our environment. However, if we change single-use products that are not that harmful to our eco-system, into reusable products, the problem can be solved sensibly.

Some students take a year off between finishing school and going to university, in order to work or to travel. Do you think advantages outweigh disadvantages?
There has been considerable debate to whether a gap year is beneficial to students who may choose to find a job or go on an excursion instead of further accomplishing within their specialities. Which could be detrimental to how they succeed within their field. In this essay I will discuss both the merit and demerit of this notion and shed a light on the preference for the later.

Some parents buy their kids a large number of toys to play with. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a child having a large number of toys?
There is an opinion that the parents have spent a great deal of amount for their children. One of the biggest portions of the money in first years of life is spent on leisure activities and play items. Obviously, there are both positive and negative effects on it and family’s members should be carefully in purchasing.

The government should spend money in promoting sports and art in school, rather than sponsoring professional sports and art events in communities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It's believed that the governments are supposed to give financial support to the activities at schools rather than in societies and such a statement suffers from logical and factual fallacies. In my opinion, the governments should spend money on social events as economy development and culture spread are concerned.

In many countries today, if people want to find work, they have to move away from their friends and their families. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages.
One of the most controversial issues today relates to the movement away from friends and families that can help people find their jobs. Personally, I strongly disagree with this belief and this essay will feature some reasons explaining my own view.
