Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single idea to maintain clarity. Your letter mixes several points in single paragraphs. Structuring paragraphs around one main idea will help readers follow your argument more easily.
Coherence & Cohesion
Try to use a wider range of linking words and phrases to connect your ideas more smoothly. This would include expressions for adding information, contrasting, giving examples, concluding, etc., to improve the flow of your writing.
Task Achievement
To fully satisfy the task requirements, make sure to address all parts of the prompt in enough detail. Your letter could elaborate more on why accurate information is crucial and provide more specific suggestions for how the magazine can rectify the situation.
Task Achievement
Maintain a formal tone throughout the letter for consistency. While your tone is generally appropriate, there are instances where informal expressions are used ('fake data,' 'scam place'). Using consistently formal language would better suit the context of writing to an editor.
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.
