Hi Barrett, I hope you are doing well. I am Cole Chen who is your neighbour
next
to your house, and I can give you a hand
next
summer. I would be the person whom you are looking for.
Firstly
, I have lived in our town for more than 20 years, and I like doing household at home. When I was young, I always helped my mum to clean the backyard and trim the garden.
Secondly
, I am studying for a diploma in house art which means I can decorate your home as well as my house after I do some labour jobs for you. I appreciate you giving me an opportunity to help you. If
that is
good for you, I can come
next
Monday, 18 July every day except Wednesday and weekends, as I have another part-time job which makes me unable to go to your place. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Cole Chen

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

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.

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly

  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
