Improve your score for IELTS Writing Task 2 – Cohesion and Coherence

Many students fail to understand what is needed for a high score on Coherence and Cohesion in the IELTS exam. They think that if they use enough linking devices like firstly, secondly and lastly, then they are on their way to getting a 7 in Coherence and Cohesion. However, there is more to it than just that!

In this podcast you will learn how:
· To get above a 7 in Writing Task 2 Coherence and Cohesion
· To interpret the band descriptors for coherence and cohesion at bands 7 and 8
· To construct each paragraph correctly
· To organize your paragraphs correctly
· To think about cohesion in a different way and use a wide range of advanced cohesive devices.

    Hi Komal, Aamir, and Musa,
    I would suggest you to identify which area needs to be worked on first. Do some practice tests then focus on the TYPE of questions you are struggling with.

    Hi Pal! My suggestion to improve in the reading is to do practice exams, but monitor the different ways you do them. If your goal is a Band 7 then you could spend a little bit more time in the earlier sections and less in the final stage (most difficult part). Experiment. A constant routine, and monitoring different techniques and getting into a ‘feedback loop’ will definitely help, I’m certain.
    Another suggestion is to check out the podcast about IELTS Reading, with Anna Walker:

    Hi Ashraful! To start your prep I would identify which area needs to be worked on first. Do some practice tests then focus on the TYPE of questions you are having difficulty with, forget the overall score for now. This is perfect for listening and reading prep.
