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.

firstly
secondly
thirdly
in additional

Government invest in sports is a waste of money. Government must invest this money in public services instead. To what extent are you agree or disagree?
People around the world pay a lot of taxes thus, the government has to give money back in useful services for the community. I strongly agree with this statement because the taxpayers need security, public health and education. In addition, more public access parks.

In many countries, more and more women have full-time jobs as men. There is a logic that they should share the housework equally with men. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
these days, working is so varied from the prior time owing to the fact that we can see most women work the same as men, so a group of people believe that housework has to be divided equally between both sexes. I subscribe to this idea inasmuch as women earn money the same as the males; moreover, when females do both work and housework, they have a negative effect on their efficiency.

Some people think that old buildings should be protected, while others believe that they should be replaced by newer buildings. Discuss both sides and give your opinion
Historically, governments have proposed to re-design cities massively in order to create megalopolis. While this belief is staunchly supported by many politicians, many others argue ancient buildings should be repaired owing to their representation of our history. In this essay, I will discuss both sides and explain why I firmly believe that both types of designs should be balanced among all architectural designs.
