Grammar and Spelling
Ensure you carefully proofread your letter to correct minor spelling or grammatical errors, such as 'traffic congestation' instead of 'traffic congestion' and 'traffc police' instead of 'traffic police'. These small mistakes can distract from the overall clarity and professionalism of your message.
Linking Sentences
To further improve coherence, you might consider adding a brief sentence that links each paragraph smoothly to the next. This will enhance the flow of your arguments and ideas.
Structure
You've done an excellent job of structuring your letter with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion which addresses all parts of the task effectively.
Tone
The tone of your letter is appropriately formal and polite, fitting the context of writing to a local council.
Problem-solving
Your solutions to the problem are practical and clearly communicated, making your suggestions highly valuable.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
