Task Achievement
Be sure to directly address the tasks mentioned in the prompt. Although your letter covers the required points, it could benefit from more clear and detailed examples to explain why you are suitable for the job. For instance, describe the specific teaching methods or successes you've had with teaching children.
Coherence & Cohesion
Make sure that each paragraph is organized around a single clear idea, presenting your suitability for the job, what else you could do for the family, and your reasons for wanting the job. Your letter does this well, but further refinement and clear separation of these ideas would help.
Coherence & Cohesion
Connect your ideas more smoothly by using a range of cohesive devices (e.g., conjunctions, pronouns, synonyms) beyond basic connectors. This will help your letter flow better and enhance the reader's understanding.
Task Achievement
Maintain a formal and polite tone throughout the letter to match the writing task. Words like 'takecare' should be written as two words ('take care'), and casual language ('Due to some personal issues') can be replaced with a more formal expression ('Due to personal circumstances'). Also, each paragraph should open with a clear topic sentence.

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
