Coherence and Cohesion
The letter could be better organized by separating different issues into distinct paragraphs for coherence. For example, one paragraph for the issue with the window, one for the delayed and unsatisfactory food service, and one for the overall dissatisfaction and query regarding future improvements.
Coherence and Cohesion
The introductory and closing paragraphs convey the necessary elements but could be more formally structured. Moreover, a formal salutation such as 'Dear Sir/Madam' would be more appropriate in formal letters.
Task Achievement
For task achievement, while the letter addresses all three bullet points, clearer and more precise details could be provided, especially concerning the description of the issues. Explicitly stating the train and route number could enhance the detail level, and elaborating on the exact nature or cause of dissatisfaction would strengthen the response.
Task Achievement
The tone of the letter at times is too informal ('the food was also completly cold and frozen showed that it was unsafe for customer to eat'). Adapting a more formal tone that is consistent throughout the letter would better suit the context of a complaint to a company's head office.

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
