Coherence and Cohesion
For coherence and cohesion, your letter generally demonstrates a good logical structure with coherent paragraphs and a clear progression of ideas. To further enhance this, consider varying your sentence structures and using a wider range of cohesive devices (e.g., conjunctions, pronouns, synonyms) to link ideas more smoothly within and across paragraphs.
Task Achievement
In terms of task achievement, your letter satisfactorily addresses all parts of the prompt with relevant details. To improve, focus on expanding your explanations with more specific examples or by reflecting on potential implications. Additionally, ensure that your apology sounds sincere and considerate by including phrases that more deeply express regret and understanding of the impact of your action.

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.
