There is an annual work party next month, which is held every year. Write a letter to your colleagues to co-arrange the party. In your letter: Say what would you do differently than last year Say what you think were some of the things not so good last year Suggest where to meet to plan for the party.

Dear team, I hope
this
message finds you all well! We're getting ready for our annual work
party
next month, so I wanted to talk about how we're planning it and give you some ideas for how to make it even better
this
year
. When I think back on
last
year
's
party
, I think we could improve it by adding more interactive games. We could,
for example
, set up team games or a talent show to get more people involved and make the event more interesting. I
also
think that giving people a wider range of food choices would accommodate their tastes and dietary needs.
Last
year
,
on the other hand
, the venue was lovely, but the room felt a bit squished at times, which made the
party
less comfortable and fun
overall
. We would like to find a place to talk to each other and enjoy the
party
without being rushed or busy. I think we should start making plans
this
Thursday at 3 p.m. in the meeting room. We can brainstorm together and divide up the work to ensure everything goes smoothly. I'm excited to hear what you have to say and work with you to make
this
year
's
party
one to remember! Best Regards, Trang Dao

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
