greeting and closing
Begin by refining the introduction to more directly address the camp manager and explicitly state the purpose of the letter.
logical structure
Improve the logical structure by organizing information about your friend’s qualifications and experience in a more systematic manner. Consider using separate paragraphs for qualifications, experience, and suitability for the job.
single idea per paragraph
For a higher coherence, ensure each paragraph discusses a single main idea. Introduce your friend's qualifications in one paragraph, their experience in another, and their suitability for the role in a third to maintain focus.
complete response
Increase the task achievement score by providing specific examples of your friend’s past achievements, explaining why these make them a good fit for the job. Avoid general statements and strive for detailed endorsements.
suitable writing tone
Adopt a more formal writing tone suitable for a recommendation letter. Avoid casual language and phrases such as "he really needs a job" and use more professional language to convey your recommendation.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
