Dear Andrew I was pleased to hear that you’re going to visit Brisbane, so I’m writing to give you some information to think about before you come. Most people travel to Brisbane in the summer months, but I think it’s uncomfortably hot at that time of the year. Autumn is the best season, between April and June. It’s still sunny, but much cooler than in summer. At the moment, all our bedrooms are full, so unfortunately, we can’t put you up.
However
, there are some cheap places to stay, like Airbnb, in our suburbs. You could
also
stay in a serviced apartment in the city centre or on the Gold Coast. There are lots of specials online, so I’m sure you’ll find somewhere affordable. When you get here, let me be your tourist guide. I’ll take you to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can feed kangaroos and koalas. I can
also
drive you to the Gold Coast for a swim. To add excitement, we can visit the theme parks there too. Looking forward to catching up Best wishes Laurel

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
