class
. I have just enrolled in the summer English
class
yesterday,
however
, I received a bad message from my mum
this
afternoon and I think I may not able to join the
class
this
summer. As my mum fell from a ladder at her workplace a few weeks ago,she had a fractured hip.Currently, she is not able to walk independently and she requires assistance in doing all kinds of daily activities. Based on her current condition, she cannot take care of my baby sister during the summer holiday,
therefore
, she would like me to go back to my hometown and help her a bit.
Due to
this
situation, I would like to request a full refund for the English
class
as I probably cannot attend it.
Moreover
, I understand that the next academic year will begin on the 1st of September, but I would like to return to school one week later than that. It is because
although
my mum has hired a maid to take care of my sister, the earliest day that she could start working is on the 9th of September.
Therefore
, I would like to ask if I am allowed to return to school on 10th September. I know that it is a very rare situation and I hope that I could gain the principal's permission. Thank you for reading the letter and I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Chan Tai Man

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
