The easy way to ielts writing academic Module

• Changing sentence structure using different linking words
Similar linking words could change the structure of a sentence. Although
these words are similar in meaning, they follow different structures.
For example

---

Because 
the total number of students has declined
, most schools are
bankrupt.
Most schools are bankrupt because of 
a decline 
in the total number of
students.
In the first sentence, “because” follows a phrase, while in the alternative
sentence, “because of” follows a noun changing the sentence structure.
3) Lexical resources
In the IELTS writing task 2, there is an extensive range of topics, such as
wildlife
, 
environmental
issues
, 
economic crisis
, 
space exploration
, 
natural
disasters
, 
technology
, 
crime
, 
etc
. Therefore, improving vocabulary skills
and being familiar with topic-related words and phrases, different word
forms, collocations, advanced expressions, and spelling are of great
significance. All these tools help candidates avoid using too 
common words
or
 repetitive language.
Topic-related vocabulary
Candidates are expected to discuss a wide range of topics using advanced
expressions and vocabulary to achieve a high band score for lexical
resources. For example, if the topic is about “the environment,” advanced
words and collocations such as flora and fauna, dense vegetation, soil
erosion, degradation, natural habitat, native species, deforestation, etc.,
should be flexibly used throughout the essay. Therefore, practicing topic-
related vocabulary is crucial.
Common words
Some words are marked as 
overused
and are not highly admired in academic
writing. As a result, it is best to replace them with more advanced vocabulary
for a high band score in writing task 2. There is a selection of some common
words and their alternatives in the table below:
