Connectives for Coherence

Suja

Organizing your thoughts and ideas is crucial, not just in speaking but also in writing.

Have you heard of connectors, sometimes known as linking words?

These words can boost coherence – one of the criterion in scoring well for writing in your tests such as IELTS.

 

Here are some useful words you can consider applying in your next writing assignment:

-         Furthermore

-         Moreover,

-         Despite

-         In fact

-         On the contrary

-         On  one hand…..on the other hand

-         …..while……

-         Although…….

-         To summarize

-         In conclusion

-         Firstly …..Lastly

 

All well and good . Now are you applying them in the right way.
