Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea more clearly. For instance, separate the description of your friend’s skills from his suitability for the job into distinct paragraphs for enhanced clarity.
Coherence and Cohesion
Enhance logical structure by organizing the letter into clear sections: introduction, qualifications, suitability for the job, and closing remarks. Use transition words to smoothly connect sections.
Task Achievement
Increase the completeness of the response by providing specific examples of your friend’s previous coaching successes, how he interacts with children, or any relevant certifications he might hold.
Task Achievement
Maintain a suitable tone for a recommendation letter by balancing professionalism with a personal touch. While your letter is appropriately formal, adding a personal anecdote about your friend's dedication or achievements could enhance the personal aspect.

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.
