What's new on IELTS with Fiona

Is it ok to use 'Firstly', 'Secondly' and 'Finally' in IELTS Writing Task 2? Absolutely.

It is often used in academic text like this one about insects.

You don't need complex linking words. See the underlined words instead - they give the writing complexity but it is hardly noticeable.

You can easily use these linkers in your writing.

For example:

• There are so many [plural noun] that [result]
• Although [concession]
• which [extension]
• the reality is that [emphasis]
