task response

coherence cohesion
Ensure a clear logical structure within the letter. Use appropriate paragraphing and organize your ideas in a coherent manner. Improve the greeting and closing to make it more professional.

Expand your lexical resource by using a wider range of vocabulary. Use formal and appropriate language suitable for a job application letter. Avoid informal and colloquial language.
grammatical range
Work on grammatical accuracy and range. Ensure correct use of grammar, punctuation, and sentence structures throughout the letter. Consider using complex and compound sentences for variety.

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.
