Firstly
, I want to congratulate you on pursuing your dream job. As your company going to give you a new laptop, you no longer need your old device. I remember you bought this
device recently, since I'm
also
looking for a laptop for my college assignments, that is
why, I'm
interested in purchasing this
as well.
Could you please provide more information about the price of this

coherence cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph contains a single, clear idea. The second paragraph of your letter introduces two ideas: congratulating your friend on the new job and expressing interest in the laptop. Consider separating these into individual paragraphs for better focus and clarity.
task achievement
For task achievement, make sure to address all parts of the prompt thoroughly. While you did request details and suggested a price, asking more specific questions about the condition of the item, its features, and any other relevant information would strengthen your response.
coherence cohesion
The letter's structure is generally logical, with a clear progression from greeting to the main topic, but the development of ideas can be improved. Use linking words and phrases to better connect sentences and paragraphs, providing a smoother flow of information and enhancing the overall structure.
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
