coherence/cohesion
Try to proofread your letter to catch small grammatical errors and typos like 'find' instead of 'finds', 'star' instead of 'soon', 'Sanday' instead of 'Sunday', and 'grerat' instead of 'great'. These errors might slightly affect coherence but are easy to fix.
coherence/cohesion
Consider dividing sentences into shorter paragraphs to enhance readability and emphasize separate ideas more clearly, such as your reasons for being busy and your desire to visit soon.
task achievement
The letter has a warm and polite tone suitable for a family member like your grandmother, showing your affection and thoughtfulness.
task achievement
Each task component has been addressed—apologizing, explaining the reason for being busy, and arranging a visit—in a structured manner.
coherence/cohesion
Your opening and closing are appropriate and create a personal connection, which is crucial in a letter to a family member.

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
