task response
The letter partially addresses the requirements of the task. It does not fully elaborate on the reasons for suitability and availability for interview.
coherence cohesion
The greeting and closing are appropriate, but the body of the letter lacks clear organization and coherence. There is a lack of paragraph structure and transition words to show the connection between ideas.

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
