Greeting and Closing
Remember to use a more formal and friendly salutation and closing in your letter, as it's directed to a friend. For instance, you could start with 'Dear Penny,' and conclude with 'Best regards' or 'Warmly' followed by your name.
Logical Structure
Organize your ideas more clearly into separate paragraphs; one for the introduction, one or more paragraphs detailing your recommendations, and a concluding paragraph. This will enhance the letter's clarity and readability.
Coherence & Cohesion
To further improve coherence and cohesion, consider using transition words or phrases to connect your ideas better between sentences and paragraphs. This creates a smoother reading experience.
Complete Response
To fully address the task, try to include more specific examples and personal experiences related to the place you're recommending. For instance, share a memorable story or describe a particular restaurant or dish in more detail.
Writing Tone
Maintain a consistent and suitable tone throughout the letter. While it's informal, ensuring it remains respectful and considerate will make your recommendation feel more genuine and thoughtful.
