Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.

Some people say that you can learn more about another country by watching television programmes and films about it than by actually visiting it. How true is this statement? Is there anything you can learn about another country by visiting it that you cannot learn by watching progammes and films about it?
Today, television is one of the most essential electronic devices in our houses as more shows and movies are now available to provide viewers with insights into different cultures and customs. However, some people might claim that we can understand more about many other countries simply by watching it on TV. Personally, I think this statement is only partly correct, while such films could be helpful in some cases, there is a range of unexplored ways of life that could never be seen on any television programmes.

In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?
With well-developed technologies in the 21 century, it is not a dream anymore to release driverless vehicles at hand. Although there would be massive advantages to introducing the driver-free system by allowing people to have more spare time for themselves while commuting by their own vehicles, I believe that there would be more demerits with compelling reasons.
