Dear West
Bank
, I am May Brown. I am writing in connection with the envelope that I received yesterday. It was supposed to attach my new
bank
card
, but it was missing. I need to get a
card
 by October 25th, since I should transfer money to my parent's
bank
 account with a
card
. I went to the branch in my town to open my
bank
 account the other day, and the staff said that the
card
 would be delivered at least in a week. 10 days have already passed, so I would like you to deal with it as soon as possible. I want to make sure that I can get my
card
 by the date or immediately. Could you respond to the email today? If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask me anytime. Thank you for kindly helping me in advance. Yours faithfully, May Brown

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
