Coherence/Cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph contains a single, clear idea to maintain strong coherence. Refrain from introducing multiple points in one paragraph unless they are closely related and can be connected logically.
Coherence/Cohesion
Strive to establish a logical progression of information throughout the letter. While your letter had a generally clear structure, transitions between paragraphs could be smoothed out for better flow.
Task Achievement
The greeting should be personalized if the recipient's name is known. Since 'Sir or Madam' is used, it would be more appropriate if you don't know the recipient's name; otherwise, use their name. In a business context using specific names, if known, adds a personal touch and shows attention to detail.
Task Achievement
For task achievement, provide all the necessary information requested by the prompt in an organized manner. This was mostly achieved but ensure that all new arrangements are as detailed as they need to be.

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
