Greeting
Consider starting your letter with a more formal greeting, such as 'Dear Council Member,' or 'To whom it may concern,' to enhance the formality and appropriateness of your writing tone.
Introduction
Ensure you introduce yourself more specifically at the beginning. Mentioning your address can make your complaint more credible and easier to follow up on.
Body
When discussing the nature of your complaint, try to include more specific details about the road's condition, such as the exact location, dimensions of the damage, or how it affects the community, to strengthen your argument.
Conclusion
In terms of solutions, besides suggesting temporary repairs, you could also propose a timeline or follow-up mechanism. This shows proactive thinking and engagement with the council's processes.
Closing
Closing your letter with 'Yours faithfully' followed by your full name would be more suitable for formal correspondence.

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.

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
