Task Achievement
Make sure to directly address the task given. In this letter, the task was to write to a friend about a vacation spot you have chosen, how you plan to spend your time, and invite your friend. However, the content seems to focus more on your decision to take a vacation and less on the specific details asked for.
Coherence and Cohesion
Work on structuring your ideas more clearly. Start with an introduction to the topic, then move on to describe the vacation spot, how you plan to spend your time there, and finally, make your invitation to your friend. This logical flow will make your letter more coherent.
Coherence and Cohesion
Each paragraph should focus on a single idea. For example, one paragraph can describe the vacation spot, another can explain your activities, and a final paragraph can contain the invitation to your friend. This will make your letter easier to follow.
Task Achievement
The tone of the letter does not completely match what is expected in a letter to a friend. It is somewhat formal and distant. Try using more personal and conversational language to make your letter sound more friendly and inviting.

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
