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.

Children should never be educated at home by their parents. Discuss.
In some countries, a small number of parents are choosing to educate their children at home rather than sending them to school. This may be for practical reasons, such as when a family lives a long way from the nearest school, or through parents' personal choice to take on the responsibility for their children's education.

There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?
When we talk about music we often think about songs or artists, but music goes way beyond these two words. It is not a modern invention; it has been existing since the beginning of the human appearance on earth but is still considered as very important to us. Music is a way to express our feelings to connect with other people. I strongly believe, traditional music of a country is as important than the international music.
