Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure the letter has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion to enhance its logical structure. A brief opening stating the intention of your letter followed by a detailed body and a concluding paragraph can sharpen focus and structure.
Coherence & Cohesion
To improve the greeting and closing of your letter, use more specific and formal terms. For example, 'Dear Council' or 'Dear [Council's Name], Road Services Department' would personalize and formalize the greeting. Similarly, 'Sincerely' or 'Regards' followed by your full name could be more suitable for closure.
Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single idea or complaint for clarity. Your letter broadly adheres to this, discussing the road condition, consequences, and proposed solutions separately, but making distinct paragraphs more focused on a single aspect can enhance clarity.
Task Achievement
In terms of task achievement, ensure all parts of the prompt are fully addressed. Including more specific details about the road condition, how it affects daily life, and emphasizing the urgency of the repair work could make the letter more compelling.
Task Achievement
Use a more formal tone throughout your letter by avoiding contractions ('do not' instead of 'don't') and using formal phrases. Moreover, ensure grammatical accuracy and appropriate vocabulary to maintain formality and clarity in communication.
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.
