If you still need some groceries or necessary things, there is a convenient store which opens 24 hours just a block away, at the intersection of Bay Street and Bloor Street.
Last
but not least, hope you have a good experience in Toronto! If I can end my trip earlier, I will definitely take you to visit the nearby museums and shops. See you
then
. Best regards, Emily

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
