Task Achievement
The introduction is good, but the letter should more explicitly address the first bullet point by clearly explaining why the candidate believes their friend would enjoy a camping holiday. Consider providing specific examples or personal anecdotes that could help make this point.
Task Achievement
Some details are directly addressing the disadvantages but could be more specific. Try to elaborate on why and how these disadvantages affect the camping experience.
Coherence and Cohesion
Consider organizing your paragraphs to discuss each bullet point in the order they are presented in the question. This will help improve the logical flow.
Coherence and Cohesion
Greeting and closing of the letter are well-done, adhering to the conventions of a personal letter.
Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single idea. While the letter does this quite well, some paragraphs could be split for clarity.

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.
