Language Accuracy
Make sure to proofread your letter for any spelling or grammatical errors. Misspelled words or incorrect grammar can distract from your message and reduce the effectiveness of your communication.
Sentence Variety
Try to vary your sentence structures to improve readability and keep the reader's interest. Using a mix of complex and simple sentences can make your letter more engaging.
Content Development
Consider adding more detail or examples to strengthen your argument. Explaining how the constant barking affects not only your work but also your overall well-being or daily life can make your request more compelling.
Coherence and Cohesion
To enhance cohesion, use linking words or phrases to connect your ideas more smoothly. This will make your letter flow better and be easier to read.

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.
