Task Achievement
You've told a fascinating story, but make sure to directly address the prompts given in the task. Specifically, elaborate more clearly on the details of your visit and how you plan to meet your friend. This will ensure a more complete response to the task.
Task Achievement
Try to use a clear structure in your letter. Start with a suitable greeting, such as 'Dear [Friend's Name],' rather than 'Dear Sir or Madam,' to make it more personal and appropriate for the context of writing to a friend. Conclude your letter with a more friendly closing, like 'Best wishes' or 'Looking forward to seeing you,' to enhance the overall tone and suitability.
Coherence & Cohesion
To improve coherence, consider organizing your ideas more logically. Group related ideas together and use paragraphs to separate them clearly. This helps the reader understand the flow of your thoughts and the connections between them.
Coherence & Cohesion
Although you mentioned your current life, the details of your visit, and a meeting arrangement, the transitions between topics can be smoother. Use linking words or phrases like 'Additionally,' 'Next,' or 'Furthermore,' to guide the reader through your story and improve coherence.

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.
