task response
The response should clearly address the task by presenting a clear position and supporting it with relevant examples. It is important to consider both sides of the argument and provide a balanced view.
coherence and cohesion
The essay lacks a clear introduction and conclusion, and the logical structure of the essay needs improvement. The ideas are not always presented in a clear and cohesive manner. It is important to use cohesive devices to link ideas and paragraphs together.

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
