In a recent Facebook Live session, a student asked:

This is a transition you use all over Speaking and Writing. Even in Speaking Part 1, you could say, “In order to get a good job, I need to pass IELTS.”
A nice way to rephrase would be to use the conditional, like, “If I want to obtain a better position in the future, I need to pass IELTS.”
Using conditionals and relative clauses is the easiest way to include a variety of complex sentences structures for better Grammar scores.
Another expression you could use is ‘to be able to‘, such as, “To be able to secure better employment, I need to pass IELTS.”
