Why use linking words

By using linking words such as ‘while’, ‘although’ or ‘despite’ (to name but a few) to connect naturally two pieces of information together, you are one step closer to a band score of 7 in Grammatical Range and Accuracy.

IELTS BAND 7

At this level, the marking criteria state that a candidate needs to ‘use a variety of complex structures’.

Make sure you understand what these words mean and how to include them in a sentence.

Accuracy is more important than range of words

It’s better to use one or two good complex sentences than many long and complicated sentences.

That’s a clear instruction, isn’t it.

I hope you found both this article and the links useful.
