language
Ensure proper sentence structure and use of words. For example, 'in a radiant health' should be 'in radiant health' and 'I'm not worried about the kids playing spaces anymore' could be more clearly expressed.
structure
Try to organize your ideas more clearly. Each paragraph should ideally focus on a single point. For instance, combining the house description and community details can make the letter a bit muddled.
task completion
Include a more direct invitation or suggestion for siara to choose potential dates to visit. This would enhance the task response further.
tone
You have successfully conveyed your excitement about the new house, demonstrating a positive writing tone that is suitable for a letter to a friend.
engagement
The letter includes personal touches and expressions of warmth, which contribute to the overall friendliness of the message, making it engaging.

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
