Task Achievement
Ensure clarity and precision in your request by directly stating what actions you wish your neighbor to take in looking after your house. Examples could include watering plants, checking mail, or ensuring security.
Task Achievement
Work on developing a more formal and polite tone throughout your letter. Phrases such as 'I am writing to request your help' and using 'would' instead of 'will' can make your request sound more polite and respectful.
Coherence and Cohesion
Enhance the logical structure by organizing your letter into clear paragraphs with distinct purposes. Starting with an introductory paragraph, followed by the main body explaining your absence and ending with a concluding paragraph that summarizes your requests and expresses gratitude.
Coherence and Cohesion
Improve paragraph cohesion by linking ideas more smoothly and using a variety of linking words. You can also use pronouns effectively to refer back to previously mentioned ideas, making the text flow better.
