coherence cohesion
To improve logical structure, it can help to have clear transitions between the paragraphs and to organize the information in a more linear narrative, linking the paragraphs seamlessly.
coherence cohesion
For the single idea per paragraph criterion, ensure each paragraph maintains a clear focus on a single idea. The first paragraph could separate the greeting from the explanation of the favor.
task achievement
In order to enhance task response, delve deeper into the explanation of the favor. Perhaps include more detail about what taking care of the plants entailed, showing a greater appreciation for the specific efforts your friend took.
task achievement
Consider elaborating more on how you are offering compensation. Instead of just mentioning the gift card to Netflix, maybe include a sentence about making future plans to watch something together as an additional thank you.
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
