Dear Sir or Madam.
My name is Marina and I am writing to express my opinion about an environmental pollution is observed in some places in our territory. Over the past few months I have noticed a significant increase in toxic fumes in air. This has not only caused the citizens to suffer from health issues but alsosurved as a triggering factor to harm natural heritage and biodiversity. In my opinion air pollution has become a general disaster in our society due to constant emissions.
Many are constantly damaging agriculture and farming, making it impossible for locals to make a living. This can also lead to economic issue in the long run.
Thank you for considering my concerns.
Sincerely.
Marjona Ergasheva.
The letter is somewhat organized, but the flow of ideas is not very clear. The introduction and body paragraphs are somewhat disjointed, and the conclusion is quite brief. The letter could benefit from better use of cohesive devices and a more logical progression of ideas.
Suggestions
- Use a variety of cohesive devices to improve the flow of your writing.
- Ensure that each paragraph has a clear main idea and that all sentences in the paragraph support that idea.
The letter uses a sufficient range of vocabulary and there is evidence of less common and idiomatic language. However, there are some inaccuracies in word choice and collocation.
The letter uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms and there are few grammatical errors. However, there are some errors in article and preposition usage.
The letter addresses the task and provides a clear position throughout the response. However, the letter could be improved by providing more specific details and examples to support the arguments.
Suggestions
- Include specific details and examples to support your arguments.
- Ensure that each paragraph fully develops a single idea.
