coherence and cohesion

Consider organizing your thoughts more clearly by separating your reasons for missing the flight and your impact on your plans into distinct paragraphs. This would improve clarity and structure.

task achievement

Make sure to proofread for minor grammatical errors, such as 'was really annoyed me' instead of 'really annoyed me,' which can affect the overall professionalism of your letter.

task achievement

You effectively communicated your feelings regarding the situation and your grandfather's health, which adds an emotional appeal to your letter.

coherence and cohesion

The closing of the letter is polite and appropriate, which is a good practice in formal writing.

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

Dear + name
Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.

Government investment in the arts, such as music and theatre, is a waste of money. Governments must invest this money in public services instead. Do you agree or disagree?
In the present world, governments’ investment is rapidly increasing. Many individuals like the different investments of their governments in the arts. It is disagreed that the government must invest this money in public services instead. Cities without theatres, concert halls and art galleries cannot teach their citizens about cultures, human behaviours, and enjoyment of life.

Tobacco is a kind of drug. People have been free to use it. Some people think that it should be illegal to use it comparing with other drugs. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What is your opinion?
A few decades ago, a new item called cigarettes was advertised as a kind of new entertainment product. Once it was in the market, people enjoyed them without awareness of their addiction. It was unknown how damageful it was back then. Through the years, scientists have done some research about tobacco and its harm to living things. Therefore, many people believe that this drug should be banned from the shops. In my opinion, I disagree with that thought because it is almost impossible to be forbidden.

In this essay, I will discuss both sides in detail.
