I won't be able to attend the celebration because I am going to Mumbai for an annual surgery conference for the reason that organisers have invited me as a guest speaker. I will be back in a week's time and it would be great if you guys can plan to visit me after all the ceremonies are over.
Then
we could plan a vacation to Bali together that would not only give us a chance to spend some quality time with each other but we can enjoy a few activities like water sports, camping and wild excursions over there because I know how much you love to stay close to nature. I look forward to hearing from you on the same and waiting for a few ideas from you as well. Yours lovingly,

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.

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
