Now with ES6,We can make string using backticks and using placeholders which are indicated with dollar sign and curly braces, like ${expression } .

```javascript
const name='John';
const city='London';

const sentence ='My name is '+ name +'. I live in '+city.
const sentence ='My name is '+ name +'. I live in '+ city.
ES6 way:
const sentence = `My name is ${name}. I live in ${city}`;
