The letter effectively responds to the task by thanking the friend, explaining the favor, describing its impact, and offering compensation as per the prompt.

coherence and cohesion

The greeting and closing are appropriate, and the letter maintains a good structure and flow, but some paragraphs could be more cohesive. Consider using transition words or phrases to improve coherence.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
