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.

Linking word examples:

firstly
secondly
thirdly
in additional
moreover
also
for example
for instance
therefore
however
although
even though
despite

some people think that men and women have different qualities, therefore certain jobs are suitable for men and others for women to what extent do you agree or disagree?
nature has blessed both men and women with individual characters, which set them apart. All these different characteritics enable them to do different tasks according to their offinities. Due to this some people opine that it would be best for both sexes to invole themselves in those tasks which suit their peosonality and skills. Others, however, think that both are equal and can do each other's job as efficiently as thy cn do their own. Therefore, let us analyse the task from both perpectives in order to reach to a relevant conclusion.

It costs a lot of money for a country to host an international sports event, such as the Olympic Games and Football World Cup. Some people think that this is a waste of money, but others believe the opposite. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
By surveying human history, hosting international sports events has been a regular activity, and many countries are competing to win the privilege of having them. However, the citizens' opinions are divided into two main points; some of them believe that holding such an event may lead to disturbing their peace, on the contrary, others believe it is an opportunity to increase the country's economy. Personally, I agree with the second opinion because the pros of hosting these games come over their cons.
