when my neighbour Mr. Whistler started burning his garbage in his backyard. Just because we share the same backyard wall and my kids usually play in the backside of the home, I requested him to stop
this
activity as fog from the fire creates inconvenience
while
breathing for everyone. As far as I remember
this
trouble started at the beginning of
last
week, and despite my request he has been performing the same action since
last
week. Unfortunately, nothing is in my hands now and
that is
why I decided to take municipal council help. I would appreciate it if you could guide him to follow any other alternatives to dispose of his garbage
instead
of burning it because
this
can be the reason for air pollution and health problems for the local people. I looking forward to your reply and immediate action on
this
situation. Thank you Yours faithfully Arthdeep hair

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.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
