coherence cohesion
The logical structure of your letter is clear, but some sentences need minor grammatical adjustments to enhance clarity. For instance, 'you need to help with your home' could be clearer if rephrased as 'you need help with your home'.

Try to use varied sentence structures to keep the reader engaged. For example, instead of listing tasks in a long sentence, consider breaking it into shorter sentences or using bullet points for clarity.

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
