Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you about the
garbage
waste
management system is not functioning properly in our
community
and causing an issue for people in the
community
. I am residing in Al Nadha, Dubai. In our
community
, there are around 500 families residing and most of the people are working in corporate organizations. Usually, the
garbage
management service collects the
waste
materials in our
community
weekly. Since
last
week, there was no service to collect
garbage
. Because of
this
, children’s play areas are dumped with
waste
materials and a filthy smell is coming out of the
garbage
.
This
would lead to serious health illnesses for people in society. There are few senior citizens who are already infected by
this
and it is causing massive air pollution. I request you to look into
this
issue as soon as possible and check with the
concern
Change the verb form

department, why
waste
materials are not collected from
last
week in our
community
and send a team immediately to clean the
garbage
. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours Faithfully, Jack

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.

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

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional

  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
