Task Response
Regarding task response, ensure that your letter responds to all parts of the prompt fully. You mentioned the location and special qualities of your town, but the explanation could be expanded with more detail and specific examples to strengthen your nomination.
Task Response
Work on developing your ideas more thoroughly. While you have mentioned important points, providing more specific examples and elaborating on them would give your letter additional depth and interest.
Coherence and Cohesion
For coherence and cohesion, make sure that each paragraph contains a central idea and is fully developed. Use linking words effectively to connect your sentences and paragraphs, enhancing the logical flow of your letter.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your letter has a clear structure, but there is room for improvement in organizing your ideas more coherently. Consider outlining your letter first to ensure each paragraph logically follows from the one before it.
Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure you include an appropriate opening and closing in your letter. While you have included both, they could be more formal to match the context of writing to the Tourist Board.

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
