The easy way to ielts writing academic Module

Sentence structures
A sentence structure is the physical format of a sentence. Varying sentence
structures avoids repetition, creates a natural rhythmic tone in writing, and
makes it sound intriguing. In the IELTS test, for both academic and general
modules using various sentence structures is highly advised. There are four
sentence structures: 
simple sentences
, 
compound sentences
, 
complex
sentences
, and 
compound-complex sentences
. Flexible use of these structures
accurately will lead to a high band score for grammar, enhancing the overall
writing quality.
1) Simple sentences
A simple sentence is an independent clause, which mainly includes a subject
and a verb, and it is complete on its own. These independent clauses could
also have other components, such as an object or a modifier, but they hold
one complete idea or a concept overall. These structures are mainly used to
form a topic sentence in body paragraphs as they hold one central idea, one of

the main features of a good topic sentence.
For example
The main advantage of organic farming methods is saving the
environment.
Airline companies have facilitated traveling.
Honesty is key to a good friendship.
The government has promoted healthy eating.
There is a central idea in all the sentences above, and all of
them are grammatically complete and independent.
2) Compound sentences
A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses that are connected
by a coordinating conjunction or a semi-colon. However, both sentences are
independent and complete in meaning. If coordinating conjunctions link the
two independent clauses, using a “
comma
” is necessary. There are seven
coordinating conjunctions:
