Logical Structure
Ensure clarity and logical flow in your letter. Begin with a clear introduction, follow with detailed paragraphs that each address a specific point (why you want to volunteer, your skills, and your preferences for the location and duration), and conclude with a polite closing statement.
Single Idea per Paragraph
Use paragraphs effectively. Start a new paragraph for each new idea to improve readability and organization.
Complete Response
Address all parts of the task. Ensure you discuss why you want to do the voluntary work, clearly state your skills and experience, and specify where you would like to volunteer and for how long in a well-structured manner.
Suitable Writing Tone
While the informal tone might be seen in some contexts, aim for a more formal tone appropriate for writing to a company. Avoid overly casual language.

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.
