Task Achievement
To improve task achievement, ensure you provide a clear and concise explanation of the important event, offer a heartfelt apology for the inconvenience caused, and suggest a detailed and practical new arrangement. Remember to directly address all three bullet points provided in the task.
Coherence & Cohesion
When working on coherence and cohesion, try to start each paragraph with a clear topic sentence, followed by supporting details and a concluding sentence. Keep your ideas clearly divided between paragraphs.
Logical Structure
To achieve a higher score, refine your logical structure by focusing on the flow from one idea to the next. Ensure that each paragraph smoothly transitions to the next through the strategic use of linkers and cohesive devices.
Greeting & Closing
Make your letter more engaging and reader-friendly by enhancing greeting and closing statements. This includes using varied language and a slightly more formal tone, fitting the letter's context.
Single Idea Per Paragraph
To strengthen the single idea per paragraph aspect, develop each paragraph around a single main idea, ensuring that all sentences within that paragraph directly relate to and support that idea.
