Coherence and Cohesion
To improve the overall coherence and cohesion of your letter, consider first outlining a logical structure. Start with a brief introduction outlining the issue, followed by a paragraph detailing the problems the dog's barking causes, another proposing solutions, and a concluding paragraph wrapping up your request. This structure will help your letter flow more naturally from one idea to the next.
Task Achievement
For a better task response, ensure that your proposed solution is realistic and considerate towards your neighbour. Rather than demanding the dog be removed, suggest collaborative solutions that acknowledge the neighbour's attachment to their pet. For example, recommending a dog trainer could be a more constructive and sensitive approach. Additionally, clearly state the purpose of your writing in the first sentence to immediately inform the reader of your letter's intent.
Tone and Style
Maintain a respectful and polite tone throughout your letter. Avoid making demands or suggesting drastic measures such as rehoming the dog outright. Instead, express your concerns calmly and propose solutions or compromises that respect both parties' needs. Phrases like 'We want your dog gone' can come across as harsh and confronting. Consider softer, more diplomatic language to foster a constructive and positive dialogue between you and your neighbour.
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.
Linking word examples:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- in additional
- moreover
- also
- for example
- for instance
- therefore
- however
- although
- even though
- despite
