coherence cohesion
Focus on structuring your letter more clearly, ensuring there is a logical flow from one paragraph to the next. Introduce each idea with a clear topic sentence and support it with relevant details. Transition words can also help enhance the cohesion between paragraphs.
coherence cohesion
Though the greeting and closing are used appropriately in informal letters, ensure that the opening sentence is correctly structured. Use 'I am writing this letter to thank you' instead of 'I am writing this letter to thanking you'. Addressing this will help refine your greetings and closings further.
task achievement
You’ve responded well to the task by thanking your friend, explaining the usefulness of the gift, and suggesting a future meeting. To improve, provide more specific details or examples when discussing how the present is useful and clarify your plans for meeting up, offering options or a proposed activity.
task achievement
Maintain an informal but respectful tone throughout your letter, as is suitable for writing to a friend. Watch out for informal expressions or overly casual language that might not be appropriate even in this context, ensuring a balance between friendliness and respect.

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.
