structure
Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea to maintain clarity. While your paragraphs generally adhere to this, some are a bit crowded with multiple ideas. Try to separate different suggestions and explanations clearly into their own paragraphs.
coherence
Use clear and logical transitions between paragraphs to improve the flow of ideas. Linking words like 'However,' 'Additionally,' or 'Furthermore' can be used more effectively to connect your thoughts.
task response
Address all parts of the task consistently. You have covered the required points but need to provide fuller development of the suggestions for alternative transportation and outline the activities available in greater detail.
grammar
To enhance readability, avoid run-on sentences and correct punctuation mistakes. Shorter, more concise sentences could communicate your points more effectively.

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
