Dear Annie, Hope you are doing fine. It’s been a while since we have written to each other. You will be glad to hear that I will move to
London
soon to take a job that I have been offered at Liberty Global. I will reach
London
in a few weeks. As you know, I have never been to
London
and I am hoping you could help me in finding suitable accommodation. Though my company has arranged a
studio
apartment
for the
first
two weeks, I will have to vacate the place after that. My preference would be to live close to my workplace, which is in central
London
, as it would save a lot of time. If I could get something near the tube station and the marketplace, that would be great. I am mostly looking for a furnished

is not available, I would not mind sharing a flat with a girl. But the

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
