Coherence & Cohesion
To improve coherence, ensure that each paragraph flows smoothly into the next. Use linking words like 'Furthermore,' 'Additionally,' or 'Consequently' to create a more seamless transition between ideas.
Coherence & Cohesion
For better cohesion, attempt to keep paragraphs focused on a single idea. This was managed well in your letter, but could be further refined by ensuring each paragraph introduces a new element of your topic unmistakably.
Task Achievement
To enhance task achievement, make sure that every aspect of the prompt is addressed comprehensively. You've done a great job inviting your friend and describing the vacation, but exploring more specifics about how you imagine spending your time together might provide a richer response.
Task Achievement
Adopting a slightly more formal or varied sentence structure could elevate your writing. While the tone is suitable, experimenting with complex sentences or a broader vocabulary could make your letter stand out.
