Word Limit, Cohesion
Importance of Word Limit
- There's a minimum word limit that has to be met at all costs.
- In Writing Task 1 write within 160 - 180.
- In Writing Task 2 write within 260 - 280.
- Exceeding the range would result in a penalty.
Cohesion and Coherence
- Spend a few minutes planning your IELTS writing. Paragraphs give structure to a piece of writing. A simple recipe for effective paragraphs - I-E-E (idea, explain, examples).
- Don't over-use linking words or phrases or use inappropriately - this could become confusing or irritating for the reader.
- Don't always use linking words at the beginning of sentences - show more variety.
- Cohesion does not only come from linking devices, there are other methods of creating cohesion, one of them being substitution.
- Express one idea per sentence. Do not write lengthy sentences.
- Concise sentences along with cohesion would automatically display Coherence.
