Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that your argument is well-structured with clear paragraphs - each discussing a separate point. Your paragraphs are well separated, but sometimes, the transition between ideas in paragraphs could be smoother.
Coherence and Cohesion
In your introduction and conclusion, clearly state your preference and summarise your main points. This part is done correctly, enhancing your essay. Maintain this approach in all essays.
Task Response
Back up your opinions with more specific examples. While you have provided general examples, more detailed and personal examples can make your argument stronger.
Coherence and Cohesion
Work on varying your sentence structures to enhance readability and engagement. This also helps in making your essay sound more professional and crafted.
Task Response
Review for minor spelling and grammar errors ('to much distractions' should be 'too much distraction'). Though not significantly impacting, they can sometimes detract from the overall quality.

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
