greeting and closing
Make sure to start your letter with a proper greeting that is appropriate for a letter to a friend, such as 'Dear [Friend's Name]', rather than 'Dear sir or madam'.
single idea per paragraph
Ensure that each paragraph introduces a single, clear idea and develops it fully. This makes the letter easier to follow and more organized.
complete response
Your letter should comprehensively address all points in the prompt. You mentioned the friend's interest in earning money and helping the family, but didn’t explain in detail why college might not suit them or suggest specific job types beyond restaurants or cafes.
suitable writing tone
Your tone is generally suitable for writing to a friend, which makes the letter feel personal and engaging.

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.
