Task Achievement
To enhance your Task Response score, ensure your letter addresses all aspects of the prompt more comprehensively. Expand on each point by providing specific examples or deeper insights into the effects of your son's behavior and why certain behaviors are expected from him.
Coherence & Cohesion
While your letter has a logical structure, there can be improvements in linking ideas more smoothly. Consider using a wider range of linking devices (e.g., furthermore, in addition to, therefore) to enhance the flow between sentences and paragraphs.
Coherence & Cohesion
For Greeting and Closing, maintain a consistent level of formality throughout your letter. The closing 'Yours truly' is slightly less formal than the rest of the letter. Consider matching it with the tone set in the greeting and the main body of the letter.
Coherence & Cohesion
In terms of single idea per paragraph, aim to clearly separate your ideas into paragraphs. Though you have done this fairly well, there are opportunities to refine this by potentially combining related ideas or ensuring each paragraph distinctly addresses a separate concept.

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.
