Hi David, Unfortunately, I have to make some changes to the trip to Canada we have been planning for so long. I just found out that my father's birthday party was shifted to a different time and I can not miss it.

it will be my father's anniversary, 50 years. There will be a lot of our relatives and friends from different parts of the world. On top of that my mother rented a humongous space in the centre of Moscow. There will be plenty of food, come music performance and at the end my father is going to give a speech. I am really sorry, but there is no way I may skip the event. I should have planned it more carefully before revealing it to you. I suppose the party will take a day or two. If I was able to change my airline tickets, I would be able to come as soon as possible. Will it work for you if I come,

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.

  • firstly
