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.

Some people think an international car-free day is an effective way to reduce air polution. Others think there are more effective ways to do this. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
People have different views about whether air pollution can be controlled by international car-free day or by other alternatives like reducing emissions. While adopting and following world wide policies provide the time for the nation to reset its nature, I believe that reducing carbon emissions will have a great impact because it will have a long term effect on the environment.

Many people believe that zoos have no purpose in today’s world and should be closed. What problems do zoos bring? What are the alternatives to zoos if they are closed?
Zoos used to be very popular, but now they are becoming faded. Because the artificial habitats are not suitable for many species and there are some accuses of exploiting entertainment, many people believe that zoos should be closed as soon as possible. Establishing more wildlife sanctuaries and rehabilitation centres would be a good solution if zoos are removed.

Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The persistence of poverty worldwide has raised concerns about the effectiveness of financial aid. In my opinion, developed countries should utilize other non-monetary measures including educational opportunities to ensure the eradication of poverty.

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?
In recent years, globalisation has helped the whole planet by decreasing distances and differences among people, countries, and businesses. Some people believe that those who disagree with this idea are against progress. I partially agree, and in this essay, I will expose the reasons.

Some people think governments should spend money on faster means of public transport. However, others think money should be spent on other priorities (eg cost, environment). Discuss both view and give your own opinion.
Few individuals in favor of the government should spend a good amount on local transportation. In contrast, others believe that money should be allocated to environmental societies to make the surroundings pollutant-free. According to my perceptions, both are important and beneficial for citizens so the ministry should create balance and spend accordingly. I will discuss both views in detail.
