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.
