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.

Thanks to technological advances, nowadays, there are a plethora of organised tours to diverse countries which are making people’s life better and more enjoyable.
