decision should be reconsidered. Not only, the

market
is relocated and the most appropriate place would be near WJ Mouat School, which is currently closed for vacations. So,
this
location would not only accommodate the vendors but
also

be considered and your immediate consideration on
this
matter would be highly appreciated. Yours faithfully, Pranav Dhawan.

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
