As you know, there are four writing categories that you are graded on and they are all equal. Today we are talking about a category called \"Cohesion and Coherence\" and it's all about organization and clear ideas.

What does that mean and how can you use these tips to get a higher score?

First of all, you must organize your ideas for Writing Task 2 into four paragraphs. Four paragraphs is better because Writing Task 2 is short. Don't do 5 or 6 paragraphs. You wouldn't have enough material for each paragraph.

You need an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion. Most IELTS Task 2 questions will present opinions and ask you for your opinion so it's easiest to write an argument essay where you have two body paragraphs.

The first body paragraph talks about one opinion and the second one talks about the other opinion.

For example, introduction, advantages, disadvantages, and conclusions.

Step 1 for a higher Cohesion and Coherence score is grouping ideas into paragraphs as we have just said.

Next, you need linking words.

You need a variety of them. You need to go beyond the typical ones like \"and\" \"because\" \"also\" and you need to use \"moreover,\" \"furthermore\" and you also need to use transitions between paragraphs.

In paragraph 2 you say, \"firstly, let's examine the disadvantages....\" and then in the next paragraph you can say, \"Having said that, there is also another side.\"

This would be a great transition into the other side of the argument.

Using these transition phrases to begin your paragraphs is something that most people don't do so it's another way to stand out.

Also, use pronouns to refer to ideas that you've already said.

Also think about how to organize each body paragraph. Be clear and direct.

Every sentence much be necessary.

Do not paraphrase your ideas over and over again.

Every sentence must give new information.

Get specific with every sentence.

Take notes on this!

Write down this advice.

This is exactly what you need to get a 7 or higher on IELTS Writing Task 2.
