IELTS Grammar: clause lists

A student asked me about the following type of sentence:

It was a lovely day, the children were playing happily, and everyone was enjoying the party.

Can we put three independent clauses together in a 'list' like this? The answer is yes. This is a normal sentence structure in English. Maybe you could try writing an IELTS-style sentence in the same way.

Here is my effort. The topic is 'poverty' and this could be a writing task 2 sentence with 3 independent clauses:

All over the world levels of poverty are increasing, income inequality is widening and few people nowadays talk about progress.
