A friend of yours is thinking of going on a camping holiday for the first time this summer. He/she has asked for your advice. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: * explain why you think your friend would enjoy a camping holiday * describe some possible disadvantages * say whether you would like to go camping with your friend this summer
Dear Joe,
I hope you are doing well. I’m writing with regard to your upcoming camping vacation.
I believe you will have a great time camping. I know you’re a big fan of the outdoors and camping is the truly best way to experience nature. That area you planning to go to is renowned for its wide range of flora and fauna.
This
type of holiday is not without its drawbacks. The main one is that you need to do a lot of preparation and make sure that you don’t forget any essential items. On top of this
, the isolated location means that you’re going to have to cook all your own food because there are no restaurants nearby.
I really wish that I could join you, but as you know summer is my busy season. I must keep my nose to the grindstone and wait until winter before I can take a holiday.
Please let me know if you’ve got any more questions.
Best regards,
MikeSubmitted by bb_emperator on

Your letter is well-structured, with clear paragraphs each dedicated to a different aspect of the advice you're providing. To further improve coherence and cohesion, consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases to smoothly connect your ideas.
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
