How to use academic caution in IELTS for coherence

One way to use cautious language in IELTS is to allow yourself to extend your answer in a logical and natural way. This matters because this will make your speech more coherent. Let me explain this with a brief example. Look at these two statements and decide which one is easier to extend:

1. 
   “Young people watch too much television.”
   
2. 
   “Most young people tend to watch too much television.”
   

For me, it is much easier to extend B because I have the natural next sentence of: “But some don’t and prefer to go out with their friends”. By using the cautious “most” I almost automatically get to “some” and achieve coherence. If you choose option A you may find it difficult to think of the next thing to say.
