✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
Dear Sir or Madam, I regret to inform you that I missed a
flight
scheduled for 5th March 2023 at 5 pm, from London to Sydney. I firmly believe
this
is
due to
the misinformation conveyed by your staff. Let me explain my situation. On a
flight
day, I arrived at the airport two hours before the scheduled
flight
. Just before an hour of a
flight
, your staff announced that a
flight
has been delayed by 3 hours
due to
technical issues. Since I had few things to shop for, I used that time to go to the nearby market and returned one and a half hours before the rescheduled time.
However
, to my surprise, I have been told that the plane took off at its regular time since the issue was fixed much earlier than expected. Since I missed my
flight
, I have been running behind my schedule. I had an interview scheduled for the day after that
flight
day. It could have led to the opportunity to work on my dream job. The interview cannot be rescheduled, as I have been informed. I would like to request you a full refund of my ticket price. I will not expect any deduction on the refund since it is clearly the fault of your staff. Since
this
is an urgent matter, I urge you to look into
this
matter immediately. Yours Faithfully, John Doe

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
