5. You are leaving your job and would like to invite your friend to replace you. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter, you should: -describe the job -explain the reason you are leaving -tell him/her why you would recommend the job to them

Dear Pauline, I hope
this
letter finds you well. I'm excited to share that I'll be leaving my position as a sales associate at Bramalea Mall in two weeks. It's been a fantastic experience working with QE Home Company, helping customers find the perfect bedding. As life takes me to British Columbia to join my husband and pursue new opportunities, I believe you'd be an excellent fit for my current role. The job involves guiding customers on various products like duvet covers and bed sheets at a well-paying position. The work is enjoyable, and I've never felt tired of it. Having known you've been job hunting for three months, I wanted to recommend
this
opportunity to you. If you're interested, I'd be more than happy to refer you. Let me know, and I'll put in a good word for you. Wishing you all the best, Stephenie

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
