greeting and closing
The structure of the letter needs improvement as the greeting and closing are not appropriate for an informal letter to a friend. Instead of 'Dear Sir or Madam,' start with 'Dear [Friend's name]' and rather than 'Yours faithfully,' use 'Best regards' or 'Warm wishes,' followed by your first name.
logical structure
The letter should be structured in a more logical way, with better paragraphing. Each paragraph should have a clear focus on a part of the task.
suitable writing tone
You addressed the tasks given but remember to write in a conversational and friendly tone suitable for a letter to a friend. Avoid excessive formality.
single idea per paragraph
Make sure each paragraph contains a single clear idea, which you did effectively for the most part.
complete response
The response is mostly complete but some parts can be expanded with more personal remarks or insights to enhance engagement as you write to a friend.
The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
