Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Carl Puran, and I have recently moved to the neighbourhood of Old Spandau. I am writing
this
letter to get some information about your
sports
centre. I have been either a member of a
sports
club
or gym wherever I have lived because you can say, I am very health conscious. So, after moving into
this
new neighbourhood, naturally, I felt the need to join a
sports
club
or gym; and
then
found out about your
sports
club
which is located very near where I live.
Apart from
this
convenient distance, I would like to join your
club
also
because the majority of the members of
this
club
are of my age, or at least,
that is
what I have heard. So it would be easier for me to relate to them or befriend a few of them. But, most importantly, your
sports
club
remains open during the weekends
also
when I usually have more time to enjoy the
club
activities. But, before I join your
club
, I have a couple of questions. Does the
club
have any children’s playground since I would bring my child with me
also
, sometimes? And, how much is the cost of membership? I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Carl Puran

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

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.

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly

  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
