Task Achievement
For task achievement, ensure all parts of the prompt are addressed specifically. Mentioning your experience more concretely, highlighting particular skills related to the job, and explaining why you are interested in the position with specific details would improve this aspect.
Coherence and Cohesion
To enhance coherence and cohesion, use paragraphing effectively to organize your ideas clearly. Each paragraph should start with a topic sentence that summarizes its main idea, followed by supporting details. Make sure there is a clear connection between your ideas and use linking words to help the text flow naturally.
General Advice
Pay attention to grammar and spelling to maintain a professional tone appropriate for a job application. Correct use of punctuation and sentence structures will also improve the readability and effectiveness of the letter.

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.
