If you want to get success in IELTS writing, parameters play a very important role here. These 4 parameters are Task achievement/Task response, Coherence and cohesion, Lexical resource and GRA (Grammatical Range & Accuracy). Let’s get into the depth if IELTSwritingcohesionandcoherence. Coherence and Cohesion secures 25% marks of the whole writing. Students do not pay attention to this most important factor or sometimes they are actually not aware about coherence and cohesion – what actually these are?

Coherence means the flow of writing. How perfectly ideas are organized as it indicates logical structure of the content so that the examiner can comprehend your written essay without any efforts. On the other hand, cohesion refers to linking words used to connect ideas. These linking words called cohesive devices i.e. connectors.

How cohesion and coherence are connected with each other?
For those who have not a very good control on English language and English is not their native language, still coherence in IELTS writing can easily be achieved with the help of cohesive devices. Linking words make connections between sentences. Similarity or contradiction between two ideas can easily be shown by using connectors and whole writing goes in a flow and examiner easily understand the relationship between former and latter sentence easily.

How to make your IELTS writing coherent?

Many IELTS takers struggle with coherence and cohesion in writing. Although they complete their essay, write ideas, take care of grammar and vocabulary, ambiguous relation between two sentences without usage of cohesive devices which automatically creates confusion for the reader as well as writer is also not very much satisfied with writing task explanation and reader stops himself to give desirable band score to the students.

Some other ways to get more coherent writing:

1. Make sure to commence your writing paragraph always with a Clear Topic sentence. First sentence creates a path that takes the reader through the whole essay. As well as, it always makes a connection with the actual question’s demand. For instance, if the question is based on the “reason for the migration of youth from own country to overseas” then the topic sentence will be “lack of employment”, “want to embrace international exposure”… and many more reasons. So, the topic sentence will let the examiner know about the whole paragraph in short.
2. Parallel sentence structures help the examiner comprehending simple or complex sentences easily. By accepting this approach, writing goes in flow without any confusion for both writer and reader. Suppose demand of the question is reasons of any issue, here you can use parallel sentence structures such as “The first contributing reason is…... the second compelling cause is…. and so on”. This divides in the sentences into parts and connect them with each other which become easier for the examiner to understand.
3. By making use of transitions, connection between parts of essay is easily made. Transition words such as “On the other hand”, “Additionally”, and “Furthermore” etcetera indicate a strong relationship between two or 3 paragraphs and sentences in the paragraphs.
