task achievement
Try to maintain consistency in tenses. For example, 'I used to sit there' should be 'I sit there,' to match the present continuous actions described throughout the letter.
coherence cohesion
Ensure there is a clear separation of ideas between paragraphs for better readability. For example, describe the house in one paragraph, your daily routine in another, and the invitation in the final paragraph.
coherence cohesion
Minor grammatical corrections are needed, such as 'with attach bathroom' should be 'with attached bathroom.' Also, 'When I am free from my walk, I preferred to sit' should be 'When I am free from my walk, I prefer to sit.'
task achievement
The letter has a warm and inviting tone, which suits the purpose of a personal letter to a friend.
coherence cohesion
The greeting and closing are well-structured and add a personal touch to the letter.

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
