Today you’ll learn linking phrases for moving on, for increasing IELTS scores.
Transition phrases are necessary for your Cohesion Coherence scores, in letters, essays and speaking answers.
Recently, we had a question about using ‘anyway‘ in IELTS Writing.
Our student wanted to know if it was appropriate for General Training Writing Task 1, if it’s informal.
We use ‘anyway‘ a lot, informally, to move on to another point or idea.
Thus, it’s perfect for the informal letter, as we write like we speak, and for Speaking Parts 1 and 2.
The pronunciation of ‘anyway‘ is great for Speaking scores as well.

Another informal word to move on is ‘anyhow‘.
A funnier, rare one, is ‘anywho‘. It is very informal! However, it’s uncommon and interesting, so it’s great for informal letters and Speaking Parts 1 and 2.
That word is great for bringing yourself back to the topic in Speaking Part 2.
Now, for formal communication in Writing Task 2 and Speaking Part 3, you can use ‘regardless‘.
This is useful if you’ve wandered a bit and want to come back to the topic, or you want to provide another side or opinion.
Another great way to introduce a new point or topic is ‘as to‘, especially in topic sentences of body paragraphs.
‘Turning to‘ is used in the same way.
