Connective words and phrases are very important to finish the writing task 2 in a logical and coherent way. You must use the transitional or connective words in your writing task 2 as it is considered as one of the important factors for a high band score. The essay writing for IELTS requires you to present convincing arguments, reasoning, examples, and point of view. To make your essay impressive and to show pieces of evidence or examples in a coherent and logical way, you have to use these connective words. However, do not overuse the linking phrases or connective phrases just to show that you know so many of them. Use those connective phrases/words or linking phrases/words properly.  \nThe general format for writing academic writing task 2/ IELTS Essay is as follows:  \n􀁸 Introduction + your opinion/ your thinking/ your point of view/ whether you agree or disagree/ main advantages or disadvantages +  \n􀁸 2nd paragraph with an example, explanation, evidence and extra details +  \n􀁸 3rd paragraph with an example, explanation, evidence and extra details +  \n􀁸 4th paragraph with an example, explanation, evidence and extra details +  \n.................  \n.................  \n􀁸 Conclusion + restating the main point of your discussion/ your position on the issue.  \n Vocabulary for the Introduction Part:  \nIn the introduction part of your IELTS essay, you should write sentences relevant to the topic given and generally accepted ideas about it. Use your best English here as it will attract or bore your reader about the whole writing. You will make or break your impression in this paragraph. Be very cautious about the introduction part. Never just copy the sentence of the question. If you really need to, use synonyms and different sentence structure.  \nExamples:  \n1) Mobile phone and the Internet are two great innovation of science for communication and had been facilitating people for a long time. These two technologies are widely used in almost all the countries of the world and had become a part of our daily lives. We can't deny the usefulness of these technologies  \nas they had made our life easier than it was ever before. In my opinion, the advantages of these two devices far outweigh the demerits they have.  \n2) Every human being with an ambition of getting higher knowledge requires attending colleges or universities. The main reason for attending universities or colleges may differ man to man. Someone may aspire to achieve greater knowledge, someone may just want to earn a certificate or someone might attribute it as a step towards career development.  \n3) Compared with people in the past, we concern far less on the preparation of food today, thanks to the development of agriculture and scientific technology. A fair amount of beneficial influence is occurring to us consequently.  \nUseful vocabulary/phrases to open/start the essay:  \nMany/some people claim/opine/believe that...  \nThere is no denying that...  \nIt is often said that...  \nThese days.../ Nowadays.../ In this day and age...  \nIt goes without saying that...  \nIt is universally accepted that...  \nWe live in an age when many of us are...  \nPeople are divided in their opinion regarding...  \n  is one of the most important issues...  \nWhether   or   is a controversial issue...  \nUseful vocabulary/phrases to end the Introduction part:  \nLet us examine both views before reaching a concrete decision.  \nThe following paragraphs discuss whether   or   and reach a reasonable conclusion.  \nThe following essay takes a look at both sides of the argument.  \nMy two cents go for...  \nHowever, I strongly believe that...  \nI oppose the view and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs. I will support this view with arguments in the following paragraphs.  \nI personally believe that...  \nThus the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages...
