Task Achievement
To enhance task response, make sure to directly address all parts of the prompt clearly and thoroughly. Ensure that your reasons for wanting to do voluntary work, your skills and experience, and your preferred location and duration for volunteering are all distinctly highlighted and elaborated upon.
Coherence and Cohesion
A more logical structure could be achieved by organizing your letter into clear paragraphs, each dedicated to addressing a specific part of the prompt. For instance, one paragraph for explaining why you want to volunteer, another for detailing your skills and experience, and a third for stating your preferred volunteering location and duration.
Task Achievement
Including a polite closing statement can improve the tone and formality of your letter. Additionally, it's important to proofread for minor grammatical errors and ensure that your letter follows a polite and formal tone throughout, suitable for a job application.
Coherence and Cohesion
To improve coherence, use transitional words and phrases to better connect your ideas and paragraphs. This creates a smoother reading experience and shows a higher level of language proficiency.
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.
