You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You work for a small company. You need to arrange for some time off work. Write a letter to your employer. In your letter • explain why you want to take time off work • give details of how long you will be away • suggest how you will make up for the lost time Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear……………………,

Dear Mr Modi, I am writing
this
letter to inform you about the challenges and troubles we are facing
due to
your pet animals. As you know because of the poor condition of our common fence, sheep are coming daily to our garden and eating veggies. What is more, your both dogs are barking and jumping from the fence which is quite disturbing for my infant baby, especially at afternoon sleeping time. I would suggest considering fixing the fence with more thick net and a bit stronger for more durability. It will not only stop the dogs but
also
the sheep will not come and spoil our in-house farm.
Moreover
, as it is a shared barricade, we would like to split the expenses between us. You may look for any better quotations in the market and I will
also
check from my side if we get any better deals. Please feel free to contact me in case of any
further
queries. Let me know if we can discuss
this
matter on Sunday morning at 10. Thank you. Yours Sincerely, Mr. Ajith Kumar

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

  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
