Coherence and Cohesion
- Start the letter with a more specific greeting, mentioning the item and the order date. - Ensure each paragraph has a clear purpose: one for explaining the problem, one for requesting a refund, and one for arranging the return. - Use connectors and transitions to guide the reader through your ideas for better coherence.
Task Achievement
- Clearly state your complaint in the opening paragraph, including details about the item and when it was ordered. - Make specific, polite requests for a refund and the return arrangements instead of making threats. - Conclude the letter on a cooperative note, suggesting hope for a resolution rather than predicting further negative outcomes.

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
