IELTS Tip

Organise your ideas into paragraphs and remember to connect each paragraph with the previous one.

Each paragraph should have a topic sentence, and supporting and developing sentences.

Use transition words or phrases to connect your ideas. 

COHERENCE AND COHESION IN WRITING

Coherence refers to the logical organisation of your ideas through paragraphing and the logical sequencing of ideas within paragraphs.

Cohesion refers to the organisation of your language, which shows how your sentences are connected and related. These are criteria by which your writing tasks are assessed.

Coherence

A number of features make an essay coherent and thus flow smoothly. These features include the following:

          • essay structure – paragraphing

          • paragraph structure

          • transition words and phrases 

Essay Structure – Paragraphing

Your ideas need to be logically organised into paragraphs and structured, for example in the following manner:

Paragraph Structure

Topic Sentence (TS)

Each paragraph should have one idea which is clearly expressed in a topic sentence. This idea is in support of the thesis statement of the essay presented in your introductory paragraph.

Supporting Sentences (SS)

These sentences support the topic sentence or the main idea of the paragraph.

Developing sentences (DS)

Developing sentences further develop the idea in the supporting sentence by providing an example, a reason or an explanation.

Here is a Writing Task 2 question topic and task.

IELTS Writing Task 2

_________________________________________________________________

The ageing populations of more developed countries are going to cause social and economic problems for society in the future, especially for the younger generation.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

_________________________________________________________________

Here is a sample introduction addressing the question.

Introduction

The second sentence in the introductory paragraph gives the thesis statement. The two main arguments are as follows.

These two arguments are developed in body paragraphs in the essay below.

Each main idea is developed in a separate paragraph. The argument is developed logically and the ideas follow a sequence.

Body Paragraph 1

This body paragraph is agreeing with the topic. The first sentence in the paragraph – the topic sentence (TS) – states the topic and what the paragraph will be saying about the topic. The supporting (SS) and developing sentences (DS) explain the main idea.

The main idea is developed as follows:

Transition Words and Phrases

Transition words and phrases are used to link ideas between paragraphs and sentences.

Here are some of the more common transition words and phrases.

The second body paragraph (BP2) presents arguments which support the opposite view. The relationship between the two paragraphs is shown using the contrasting transition phrase on the other hand.

Body Paragraph 2

The ideas between sentences within the paragraph are connected using the following transition words and phrases.

Cohesion

In addition to the use of transition words and phrases, cohesion can be achieved using the following language devices:

          • reference words and agreement

          • linking

          • synonyms

Reference words point back or refer to words or phrases in previous sentences. They need to agree in number and person with the word or phrase they are replacing.

Here are some of the more common referents.

Body paragraph 2 uses a variety of referents which are illustrated below.

Linking

Coordinating and subordinating conjunctions and other parts of speech link ideas within and between sentences.

Some of the more common conjunctions are on the following page:

Examples of coordinating and subordinating conjunctions in body paragraph 2 include:

          • linking equal ideas

Employers should look to take advantage of this and recruit or even retain mature age workers.

          • linking alternative ideas

Employers should look to take advantage of this and recruit or even retain mature age workers.

An example using subordination is:

On the other hand, the kinds of valuable contribution which healthy, mobile and enthusiastic retirees can make should not be underestimated.

Synonyms

Using synonyms avoids the repetition of key words and helps the reader to see how the sentences in a paragraph are linked.

In body paragraph 2, the following synonyms are used for aged individuals.

     b) Learning Activities

     c) Transcript

Hello, and welcome to Study English, IELTS preparation. I’m Margot Politis.

Today we’ll look at writing an essay on ageing populations and how to organise ideas about it in a paragraph.

Let’s begin by listening to a young woman talking about her grandmother:

She does mainly the cooking and looking after us, you know, making sure that we turn out right, being strict with us. But I think part of her being here, like, allowed us to have respect for like, you know, older people. Yeah, I think from her, I’ve learned a lot – like, the Buddhist belief, how to be a good person, how to be honest and respectable person to everyone around you.

She talked about the valuable contributions an elderly person can make. The grandmother has positively influenced the children, teaching them respect and honesty, and cooking. Let’s see how this sort of positive view about older people is developed in a paragraph as part of an essay.

The paragraph starts with a sentence that establishes the main point:

The valuable contributions that active and healthy aged individuals can make should not be overlooked.

This is called the topic sentence. The main idea is valuable contributions that active and healthy aged individuals can make.

The writer then goes on with two sentences that support the main idea that old people make valuable contributions by saying what the contributions are.

Firstly, these retired people could take on the role of carers for their grandchildren, allowing both parents to work longer hours and save on day care expenses.

Notice the linking word ‘firstly’. It means there will be more than one supporting sentence.

What linking word should follow ‘firstly”?

Secondly, the retirees could volunteer their services as drivers for the very old and sick.

To further develop the supporting ideas, the writer provides an example.

For example, they could deliver meals directly to their homes or assist with transportation to and from specialist appointments or hospital.

The sentence is logically related to what has just been said and linked by ‘for example’. This sentence is called a developing sentence.

How you refer back to things you have just written is an important way of creating a natural flow to your language. The examiners call it cohesion.

You do this with words called referents which help make links within and between sentences and paragraphs:

For instance, look at these sentences:

‘These retired individuals’. ‘These’ refers back to ‘aged individuals’ in the preceding sentence. And ‘their’ grandchildren are the grandchildren of the same ‘aged individuals.

Referents are used all the time and not just in essays. Listen to the way the man in the next clip uses ‘the’ and ‘those’ to refer back:

The car's driven by four inhub motors. And the inhub motors directly drive the four wheels. The power source is the batteries. Those batteries are sort of charged by literally plugging it in at home or by the solar cells.

He doesn’t just repeat himself. He says the car is driven by inhub motors. To say what the motors do, he refers to them again, but as the inhub motors:

The car's driven by four inhub motors. And the inhub motors directly drive the four wheels.

Next he says that the power source is the batteries. He’s already said ‘the’ batteries so he refers to them again as ‘those batteries’:

The power source is the batteries. Those batteries are sort of charged by literally plugging it in at home or by the solar cells.

Using referents helps you avoid using exactly the same words too often.

You can also use synonyms - words that have similar meanings - in much the same way.

Let’s look at our paragraph about aged people again.

'Aged individuals is not repeated in the same form in the paragraph, but as Retired individuals, retirees and in specific roles as carers and drivers.

Using referents and synonyms skilfully is not just for essays. Let’s look at the way synonyms and referents create cohesion and meaning in the next clip on an entirely different topic, the ruined city of Angkor Wat:

Right now we're at Angkor, which is a collection of temples in the north of Cambodia, which, about a thousand years ago, was the centre of a huge empire which stretched across most of South-East Asia. The true significance of the place is that it's probably the world's most amazing collection of religious monuments. What you see here is a scale of engineering and aesthetic beauty and a complexity that isn't really seen at any other collection of monument sites around the world.

First he calls Angkor by its name:

Right now we're at Angkor…

He then refers to it and says what it is:

…which is a collection of temples in the north of Cambodia

Refers again and explains its function:

…which, about a thousand years ago, was the centre of a huge empire which stretched across most of South-East Asia.

He goes on to refer to Angkor again as ‘the place’ and ‘it’, and finds another way of saying ‘collection of temples’: collection of religious monuments:

The true significance of the place is that it's probably the world's most amazing collection of religious monuments.

Now let’s look at coherence. What is coherence?

When writing an essay you need to organise and develop your argument logically using paragraphs, starting with an introduction, 2 or 3 body paragraphs and finishing with a conclusion. There should be a clear transition from one paragraph to the next, linking the ideas between paragraphs. The paragraph we looked at earlier was the first body paragraph of an essay answering this question:

The increasing number of older people will cause economic problems for the young.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

For this sort of essay you have to write about different things in each body paragraph. The first paragraph disagreed - it said what positive things older people contribute. So the next body paragraph has to look at the negative effects of an ageing population. Let’s look at what its opening sentence or topic sentence should be like:

However, the increasing proportion of older people no longer contributing as much tax as younger people will put a strain on the nation’s budget.

Notice that the sentence begins with the word ‘however’. However is a linking word that is used for contrasting. It shows the writer is moving on to develop the other side of the argument.

To recap, you should know how to structure an essay. Using paragraphs correctly in your essay is important. You need an introduction, which gives some background information about the topic, followed by what you are going to write about.

You start the first body paragraph with a topic sentence that establishes the main idea you will write about. You follow this with some supporting sentences that give reasons and provide examples that develop your ideas further.

You do something similar with the next body paragraph, but from the opposite point of view and finish with a conclusion that summarises the main points and makes it clear what you think.

And you should link sentences with transition words.

This gives your essay coherence.

Using referents and synonyms as we’ve seen will help you achieve cohesion.

That’s all for today.

You’ll find more detail about today’s program at our website at: australianetwork.com/studyenglish.

Good luck with your studies.

IELTS Tips

It is good practice to spend approximately 3-4 minutes analysing and brainstorming the topic before you start writing your essay.

Remember to state your position on the topic in the introduction or conclusion.

Practise writing 150 and 250 words within the times allotted, so you become familiar with the time constraints for Task1 and Task 2.

WRITING TASK RESPONSE

It is important when answering an IELTS Writing Task 2 to address all parts of the question and write at least 250 words.

Your ideas must be relevant to the topic and appropriately developed and supported in the body of your essay. You will need to state your own position or view on the topic. The introduction and conclusion need to be clear and relevant to the topic. These are the features that will be assessed under the criterion Task Response.

Analysing the Task

Analysing the writing task will help you understand what the requirements are so that you focus on all parts of the task.

IELTS Writing Task 2 questions are presented in the following format.

IELTS WRITING TASK 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic.

Question Topic: 

The ageing populations of more developed countries are going to cause social and economic problems for society in the future, especially for the younger generation.

Question Task:

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

This is one of the questions analysed in the Study English, Series 3, Episode Two. Follow the strategies below when analysing Writing Task 2 IELTS questions.

Introduction

The purpose of the introductory paragraph is to provide some background information on the topic and state the purpose of the essay, i.e. what you will be writing about.

Here is a sample introduction answering the above task.

 The first sentence provides background information, leading into the subject of the essay and referring back to the main stakeholder – the ageing populations – which is paraphrased as ‘people are expected to live longer’.

The second sentence provides the purpose of the essay and refers back to the two parts in the question task: agree and disagree.

Agree:            While the changing age structure of society might be problematic …

Disagree:       …it should not always be viewed as something threatening.

Guidelines for Writing the Introduction

          • The background information must be relevant to the topic.

          • The statement of purpose should relate to the question task.

          • Main ideas should not be previewed in the introduction.

          • It is sufficient to write 2-3 sentences for an introduction.

Presenting two sides of an issue

The question task requires you to present two sides of an issue: agree and disagree.

You will need to consider ideas on both sides and present a balanced argument.

Brainstorming

You should spend about 2-3 minutes brainstorming the main points. They will form the body of your essay. There are two sides to this issue, so your essay will consist of two body paragraphs:

Here are two body paragraphs answering the task.

Body Paragraph 1 presents arguments agreeing with the topic. This is clearly indicated in the topic sentence of the paragraph.

There is no denying that constraints of time, money and space are placed on modern industrial societies with growing aged populations and declining birth rates.

Body Paragraph 2 presents arguments disagreeing with the topic. This is clearly stated in the topic sentence of the paragraph.

However, the valuable contributions that active and healthy aged individuals can make should not be overlooked.

Conclusion

The purpose of the concluding paragraph is to provide a summary of the main points made in the body of the essay and to state what your position or view on the topic is.

The conclusion should give the reader a clear understanding of what the essay was about.

You can also state your position as part of your introduction, but be careful that your view doesn’t change later in your essay and contradict what you have said.

Here is a sample conclusion answering the question.

Position

You need to take a position and state it clearly. This writer’s position is to take a balanced approach, i.e. recognising the contributions that both ageing populations and the younger generations make. The last sentence states this in the form of a recommendation.

People need to work together and recognise that all members of society contribute in many diverse ways to the well-being of the whole community.

Remember: The concluding paragraph should never introduce new information.

Use the sample Writing Answer Sheets at:

http://www.cambridgeesol.org/teach/ielts/academic_writing/data/Pages%20from%20ielts_specimats_80_83_test.pdf to practise your writing.

     b) Learning Activities

Practise and consolidate your learning about how to respond to the Writing Task by completing our activities. The answers for all activities are on the last page. 

ACTIVITY 1

In the two body paragraphs below identify the stakeholders used to write about the topic of ageing populations. The first one has been highlighted for you.

BP1

There is no denying that constraints of time, money and space are placed on modern industrial societies with growing aged populations and declining birth rates. The most obvious would be the costs associated with caring for the elderly, funding their retirement pensions and providing residential care accommodation. Governments cannot be expected to carry this burden alone. They would need to impose additional taxes on the younger population and shift some of the caring responsibilities onto the extended families.

BP2

However, the valuable contributions that active and healthy aged individuals can make should not be overlooked. Firstly, these retired individuals could take on the role of carers for their grandchildren, allowing both parents to work longer hours and save on day care expenses. The extra earnings and savings could be used to improve the family’s living standards. Secondly, the retirees could volunteer their services as drivers for the very old and sick. For example, they could deliver meals directly to those who are very elderly and infirm or assist with transportation to and from specialist appointments or hospital.

ACTIVITY 2

In the two body paragraphs below there are 4 words or phrases which are synonymous with the main stakeholder ageing populations. Write them in the spaces below.

1. ________________________

2. ________________________

3. ________________________

4. ________________________

ACTIVITY 3 ANSWERS

     c) Transcript

Hello, and welcome to Study English, IELTS preparation. I’m Margot Politis.

Today we’ll look at the Writing Task in the essay section of both the general and academic IELTS tests.

IELTS essay topics are of general interest and relate to current issues in society.

You can expect to be asked about:

The Media… Education… Environment… Health… Communication… Technology… and Society.

Being familiar with issues in these general areas is important.

Listening to English language media will help you develop a bank of ideas on topics like this.

An issue in health could be about children eating too much and not exercising enough. You could be asked to discuss a statement such as:

Children’s eating habits and lifestyles today are more likely to be harmful than beneficial.

You should know the essay instructions. These tell you how much time you have and how much you need to write.

You are instructed to spend about 40 minutes writing the essay, which has to be at least 250 words.

With practice you’ll know without counting what your 250 words look like.

You will also be asked to give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

This is one of the instructions, so you need to follow it.

Reasons are saying why you think something is true or not. You could write:

An increasing number of children are becoming obese because they are eating too much junk food.

Reasons are supported by examples, like this:

For example, aggressive marketing of such foods towards children is one of the contributing factors.

Relevant examples are examples like this that are clearly connected to the question.

Now let’s look at an essay question, and how to analyse it before you write your answer. How well you do this will help with your task response, which is one of the criteria used to assess the essay.

Let’s look at a question topic. Here’s a typical statement:

The ageing populations of more developed countries are going to cause social and economic problems for society in the future, especially for the younger generation.

With this is something called the question task:

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The essay question is always presented in this way as a statement followed by the question task.

First, let’s look at the statement. Read it carefully.

The ageing populations of more developed countries are going to cause social and economic problems for society in the future, especially for the younger generation.

You should ask yourself ‘who or what must I write about?’ Here, you have to say something about ageing populations, developed countries, society in the future and the younger generation.

Highlight these and any other key phrases, such as ‘cause social and economic problems’.

Think about what these phrases mean. Thinking of synonyms or words that mean something similar can help you do this. And you will need these synonyms later in your essay.

Synonyms for ageing populations are: the elderly, retired people, the aged and pensioners. They’re the people living longer or ageing.

Developed countries - refers to modern industrial societies that have to financially support retired people. Synonyms are: western countries, first world countries and advanced economies.

Social and economic problems are two kinds of problems. Social problems are problems that affect people, perhaps in areas such as health and education.

Economic problems are problems to do with the economy of a country and its ability to pay for the services it provides.

Society in the future means the country or nation or state in the future.

And the younger generation are younger people or people who work. They’re the people who are not yet part of the ageing population. So you can rephrase or paraphrase the question like this:

The younger generation will experience social and economic difficulties because people are living longer.

The next thing to look at is the question task:

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

‘To what extent’ means by how much.

Here you’re being asked to give your opinion about the statement. You might agree with it or you might think it is wrong.

It’s a good idea to reword this type of question into a ‘yes/no’ question like this:

Do you agree that the younger generation will experience social and economic difficulties because people are living longer?

Yes or no?

You could think, yes, I agree completely or perhaps yes, I agree with some of this, but disagree with other parts of it.

But keep in mind that asking how much you agree or disagree tests your ability to look at 2 sides of an issue and present a balanced argument. Even if you say yes and agree completely, you still have to look at the other side of the argument and think about why someone would disagree.

You would need to write two body paragraphs in an essay of this type, one saying what you agree with and one saying what you disagree with.

In the conclusion of your essay you would state your position on the topic.

Let’s look at another question.

Internet access should be under government control to avoid any potential harm to children.

Who or what must you write about? The internet, government and children. Now highlight other key phrases – under government control, avoid any potential harm.

Let’s think of synonyms.

We know what the internet is, but what other words can we use? – The net, the web, online, cyberspace.

Under government control means controlled by the government. Other words for government are the state or the administration.

Potential harm means bad things that might happen. Synonyms for potential are possible or likely. And other words for harm are: damage and hurt.

So we could paraphrase this statement as:

The state should control access to the web to avoid possible damage to children.

The same question task we looked at earlier can be used:

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

You are being asked for your opinion. What you need to do here is say what you think.

The state should control access to the web to avoid possible damage to children. Yes or no?

Now you should think about reasons for your point of view and why you don’t agree with the opposite view.

So, to recap.

The way you respond to the question and the instructions is part of what you are being marked on. The examiners call it task response.

Make sure you follow the instructions and write the correct number of words.

That’s all for now.
