greeting and closing
Begin your letter with appropriate salutations such as 'Dear Lucy and Mark,' to establish a clear and respectful greeting.
single idea per paragraph
Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea to improve readability and organization. For example, one paragraph can be dedicated to thanking your friends, another for explaining the delay in writing, and a third for the invitation.
logical structure
Maintain a logical flow of ideas where each paragraph naturally leads to the next, creating a progression from gratitude to explanation to invitation.
complete response
Address all prompts given in the task effectively. Thank them properly, provide a clear reason for not writing sooner, and extend a heartfelt invitation to stay.
suitable writing tone
Use a friendly and warm tone throughout the letter to reflect the nature of your relationship with your friends and to convey your message effectively. Avoid abrupt transitions and maintain a conversational style.

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.
