coherence cohesion
Try to break down your ideas into separate paragraphs for better clarity. For example, you could have one paragraph explaining why your friend would not enjoy college, another explaining why a job would be beneficial, and a final paragraph suggesting suitable job types.
task achievement
Aim to use complex sentences and a wider range of vocabulary to enhance the quality of your writing. For example, instead of saying 'getting a job is easier,' you could say 'pursuing employment might present fewer challenges than returning to an academic setting.'
task achievement
You provided relevant reasons and bases for your arguments, which makes your letter convincing and trustworthy.
suitable writing tone
The tone of your letter is appropriately friendly and supportive, which is very suitable given that you are writing to a friend.

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.
