Dear Paul I am a student of International Business Management and writing to request for allowing me to submit my assignment by the end of
this
Linking Words
week. I was assigned to prepare a project on the cash flow statements of the Royal Bank of Canada in our town. I was too excited about
this
Linking Words
project and did vast research.
However
Linking Words
, I could not submit it
due to
Linking Words
some inevitable circumstances. I was told to work with the Account Advisor, Mr Sahil, of the Bank to get the main insights and
then
Linking Words
prepare the project. Even though I booked a meeting with the Advisor which was about to happen
last
Linking Words
week;
due to
Linking Words
some emergent meetings with his potential clients, he put off the meeting.
This
Linking Words
is why, I request that
if

you could allow me to submit
this
Linking Words
report by the end of
this
Linking Words
week. I would make sure that it would not happen in the future. Waiting for your positive response Thank you Yours faithfully Gurjot Kaur

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
