MOREOVER, DEMERITS, HENCE / THUSLY I ban my students from using certain words in the IELTS test The easiest way for me to explain why I ban these words is that most native speakers wouldn't use them if they were doing the test Here are a few of my least favourites: Moreover - Native speakers hardly ever use this word, and students tend to use it wrongly Just use 'furthermore' or 'also' Demerits - It's ok to talk about the 'merits' of something, but the word 'demerits' seems unnatural Just use 'disadvantages' or 'drawbacks' Hence / Thusly - These words sound too formal and old-fashioned Just use 'therefore' or 'as a result' (ielts-simon.com.

IN A NUTSHELL, IN SUMMARY OR TO SUMMARISE You need to send a SIGNAL to the examiner that you are making the conclusion to your essay I like the phrase in conclusion best I suggest you just use this as it can be used for ALL THREE types of essays The more you can avoid the need to have to remember and correctly apply different phrases for each type of essay the better I really hate in a nutshell I think other people may hate this, so I don’t recommend it It is not impressive; I feel it is a cliché, or an overused phrase I also don’t feel it is formal If you say in summary or to summarise my main points you will have to not use these phrases with certain types of essays For instance, with a both sides and opinion essay you are not really summarising your main points in the final paragraph, you are giving your own opinion (IELTSanswers.com- Giám khảo Mike) 3.
