 statement for February. I am a loyal customer of your esteemed bank MDFC, having an account in the downtown branch,Toronto. I am holding a VISA gold
card
 which was issued
last
 year when I opened my account.I frequently use my
credit
card
 to buy items online as well as in person.
Last
 Thursday, I have received my monthly
credit
 statement and surprisingly when I checked all my
transactions
, I found 2
transactions
which

 there were 2 other

 listed in the summary of purchases and those are clear and no discrepancy. As soon as I found them, I have blocked my

 and now I would like to ask you for

 investigation of those payments.
Also

transactions
 and until
then

 bill and hope you
also
 agree with that. Yours Faithfully, Hari Sunkara

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
