I've discovered that my lens wasn't clean when I took it. Let me
first
tell you that the beauty of the scene made me forget to clean the lens of my camera. Basically,
this
doesn't only affect the quality of the picture, but
also
made me unable to recognise the place. One more thing I need to add is that I want you to tell me whether you have the shot of the Pyramids from the northern side. I hope you’ll be able to recall
this
photo that we took after we had finished our tour. One
last
thing I want to tell you before I end up my letter is that
although
I've taken a lot of stunning photos,

photo is so much important to me because it'll be the cover of the weekly edition of the school's magazine. please let me know if you have
this
picture soon. Take care of yourself, and till I see you, say hi to your beloved family. Yours, Laila Khaled

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
