Task Achievement
Make sure you address all parts of the task. While your letter provides information about why you can't pick up your friend, and suggests an alternative, it is less clear about things your friend can do in your country. Be specific by providing more detailed suggestions or examples.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your letter has a clear structure, but can benefit from better paragraph organization. Aim to concentrate on one main idea per paragraph and use a wider range of cohesive devices to link your ideas more effectively.

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.
