IELTS essay writing is one of the important and trickier tasks to be attempted. Out of the four parameters, two parameters of lexical resources and cohesion are fulfilled with the usage of best of vocabulary and linkage words. A proper structure of an essay is vital to procure an effective and worthy score. A variety of connectors and a hierarchical pattern of an essay makes it easier.
Yes students, in this particular article, connectors/ linking words to be used in Essay writing will be discussed.
Connectors, linking words, transition words are all synonyms of the word conjunction. However, in IELTS, conjunctions are those adverbs that are used to connect the two lines or ideas together but not used in between a line, like ‘and’ or ‘but'. These linking words basically provide linkage to the task. It makes your writing effective and puts it in structure.
Putting linking words or connectors in an essay is a crucial exercise one should follow to do well in the parameter of lexical resources. It helps in forming a structured essay with a logical connection of ideas. With the use of linking words, students can display a greater knowledge and variety of vocabulary.
Here are some more reasons to use connectors:-
Students must understand one thing connectors in IELTS means connecting the ideas and these can’t be used everywhere in and after the line. Remember that connectors must come naturally while forming a text. Writing a connector for connecting ideas and paragraphs together is justified but using it after each line, makes it awkward.
Do not use connectors as conjunctions in between the lines. Use it after completing your one thought.
Remember that for every purpose there is a particular connector that, if used accurately can make your writing more effective and, if used wrong, changes the meaning of the sentence.
Linking words followed by a comma and remember to use it.
There is no particular word limit for using connectors in an essay, however, it can be suggested that do not use many linkers. For paragraphs, two to three connectors can work well as these connectors will be used to connect the ideas in between. Using too many linkers would make the reader switch from one thought to another. As a result, the student can lose marks. If you read the above connectors separately, they may not have significant meaning. However, upon putting them into a text, a student can form a structured essay for a reader. Therefore, candidates must know IELTS essay linking words to score well in the parameter of lexical resources and cohesion.

The introduction is structured upon three pillars that are a general or background statement, rephrasing the given topic’s statement, and your own opinion (thesis statement).
(use it as per the demand of the question)
Body paragraph is the space where you can explain your ideas and your viewpoint. It is the place where more of the linking words are used.
It is important to be mentioned here that for diverse types of essay topics, there are different connectors. These are for writing in agreement or disagreement, writing advantages or disadvantages, writing causes and solutions etc.
The conclusion is the end paragraph of an essay in which the central idea of your essay will be discussed. It needs only one connector to be written in this paragraph which is at starting.
