task response
You answer all three parts: why you write, what happened, and what you want. Add more clear detail about your first complaint, such as the date or how you sent it.
task response
Keep the letter polite but firm. Use formal forms such as “Dear Sir or Madam” and “Yours faithfully”.
coherence and cohesion
Your ideas are in a clear order. Use three body paragraphs: one for the trip, one for the first complaint, and one for what you want the company to do.
coherence and cohesion
Use linking words with care, for example “First”, “In addition”, and “Finally”. This will make the letter easier to read.
coherence and cohesion
Start each sentence with a capital letter and leave a space after a full stop or comma. This will make your writing clearer.
task response
You clearly explain the main problems: the late taxi, loud music, smoking, and no reply from customer service.
task response
Your request for a refund and better rules for drivers is clear and relevant.
coherence and cohesion
The letter has a clear opening, details of the problem, and a closing request.
Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
