task achievement
While your letter conveys the important points, ensure to check for grammatical errors and punctuation, such as changing 'i' to 'I' and using commas correctly. Simplifying sentences can enhance clarity and coherence.

Using cohesive devices like 'therefore,' 'however,' and 'furthermore' can help make the letter flow more smoothly. Ensure each paragraph links logically to the next.

The letter includes all required components: the importance of public transport, the problem faced, and suggestions for improvement.
coherence and cohesion
The opening and closing of the letter are appropriate and courteous, suitable for a formal letter of this nature.

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
