Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that the letter has a clear structure with an introduction, development, and conclusion. Each paragraph should introduce a new idea or part of the argument in a clear and logical manner.
Coherence and Cohesion
Use proper salutations and sign-offs for formal letters. A more formal and precise greeting and closing would enhance the overall impression of your letter.
Task Achievement
Make certain that you address all parts of the task. In this case, a further explanation of the previous commitment would have been pertinent, and a stronger argument for the necessity of the start date delay.
Task Achievement
It is crucial to maintain a formal tone throughout the letter. Avoid using overly casual language and ensure appropriate use of formal expressions and vocabulary.

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
