Coherence & Cohesion
For a higher score in coherence and cohesion, ensure each paragraph has a clear central theme and transitions smoothly to the next. While your letter generally follows a logical structure, slight refinement in connecting ideas could benefit the overall flow.
Task Achievement

To further enrich your response, consider providing more detailed descriptions or specific actions you will take to make up for your absence, beyond just stating you will take responsibility for the next meeting.
Task Achievement
Your letter effectively apologizes, explains your absence, and offers a solution to make up for it, successfully meeting the task requirements.
Writing Tone
You maintained a respectful and appropriate tone throughout the letter, which is suitable for its context and purpose.
Greeting and Closing
Your conclusion with 'please accept my sincere apologies' is a strong closing statement that reinforces your apologetic tone and intent.

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.
