you arranged a visit a friend in England but an important event at home now means that you must change the dates of the visit. Write a letter to your friend.

#visit #friend #england #event #home #change #dates
Dear Jo, How are you? I hope you doing well! I am very excited to see you there. I am writing
this
 letter to inform you about a change of the date of my visit due to the sudden marriage arranged by my sister at my home on the same date we are meeting. As you know the fact is that we were looking to find a life partner for her for a long time and we got a suitable partner for her. The fascinating thing is that they wanted to fix marriage as early as possible and,
therefore
, we were looking for suitable dates from both sides; and, in the end, we got the exact same date when I was supposed to be there. So, I would like to apologise for
such
 a sudden change in the schedule of my visit. As I promised you to visit there,
therefore
 I am not cancelling our meeting but I would like to suggest new dates, which will be even more comfortable for both sides,

 I will spare more day rather than our old schedule. Here are my new dates, which are in the
last
 week of December since we both have off from work. I hope
this
 planning will not affect any of your tasks. Best Wishes, John

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
