Just to let you know, I'll be staying at my friend Mia's place over in Santa Monica. I'm
sure you already have her phone number just in case of any
emergency.

He is used to going out for a walk first thing in the morning but I think with your work schedule it would be best to take him out for a little stroll in the afternoon when you get off.

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
