coherence cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single main idea and maintains coherence within the text. Consider using more cohesive devices to link ideas and paragraphs together.
task achievement
While the letter addresses the request to stay at the friend's house, the focus on the purpose of the visit could be clearer. Provide a more detailed explanation of why staying at the friend's house is preferable to a hotel.
lexical resource
Use a wider range of vocabulary to express ideas more precisely. Consider using more formal language and expressions for a polite and respectful tone in the letter.
grammatical range
Pay attention to sentence structure and use of grammatical form to achieve greater variety. Check for errors in subject-verb agreement and use of articles.

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
