A friend of yours is thinking about applying for the same course that you did at university. He/She asked for your advice about studying this subject. Write a letter to ur friend and in your letter: . Give details of course you took at university . Explain why you recommend the university . Give some advice about how to apply.
Dear Abi,
How have you been doing ? It's been a long time since I met you at our popular restaurant. I'm writing to your prior letter that you asked me for some pieces of advice about the
food
chemistry course
. I will give you some tips which may be quite useful.
This
course
is vitally prominent as it offers a great deal of knowledge about our major which is food
science. All of this
information is practical for your career prospects. Also
, it involves working in the laboratory and excessive research about the chemistry of food
. I took it two terms ago, and all of the information that I had learned during the course
is still part of my learning stuff.
Anyways. I'd like to give you some reasons behind my recommendation for this
course
. Firstly
, I found it quite fascinating when I realized about the components and all combinations in the food
, such
as milk and sweets. Secondly
, the way of teaching this
course
is well-known in our country as it is one of the most advanced courses in our major, which needs quite a lot of state-of-the-art equipment in the laboratory. As a result
, our university has everything you need.
Nevertheless
, the process of applying for this
course
is kind of complicated. First and foremost, meet Professor Albert Jey in the research department, which is located near the main parking. Secondly
, ask him to give you permission for this
course
. Then
, your grades until now will be evaluated and assessed if you are eligible for this
course
. Consequently
, the final decision will be mailed to you.
I hope you will find these helpful. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any further
details. I look forward to hearing from you.

Task Achievement
Begin by directly addressing the friend's request for advice in an introductory paragraph. Mentioning the context of the letter sooner can help clarify the purpose of the letter for the reader and set a clear framework for the information to follow.
Coherence & Cohesion
Try to enhance coherence by more explicitly linking the paragraphs through transitions or phrases that hint at the content of the subsequent paragraph, fostering a smoother reader experience.
Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure each paragraph focuses clearly on distinct aspects of your advice (e.g., details of the course, reasons for recommending, application advice). You're already doing well here, but refining this further can enhance clarity.
Task Achievement
Consider wrapping up your letter with a concluding sentence that reflects on the overall advice given or reiterates your encouragement and support for your friend. It would offer a nice, complete finish to your letter.
