Dear Mary, I was glad to hear back from you. It’s nice to hear that you and your family have been safe and maintaining social distancing during the pandemic. During
this
pandemic, I recommend these two websites to update you about the things that are happening in the world. My recommendation for the website mainly depends on international or domestic
news
. If you are looking for something specific about our country, Nepal,
then
I would suggest ekantipur.com.
However
, if you are looking for trending international
news
, I recommend either bbc.co.uk or cnn.com. The reason I am recommending these websites is because of

readers. While Kantipur provides detailed local
news
, BBC and CNN relay impartial political views and social views. Other than these websites, I would
also
suggest you go through social media.
Although

Also
, watching documentaries gives background information on the issue. I hope these sources will provide more information as you were seeking. Stay safe. Take care.

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
