Dear Sir or Madam, Hope
this
finds you well. I am writing to you on the recent article that was posted on the national magazine dated 25th September regarding the topic of “The book that influenced me most”. A few weeks back I concluded reading the autobiography of Michelle
Obama
. I was fascinated by her
life
story and the fact that she was a very powerful woman to her husband and her family.
Hence
the reason I decided to send you
this
article. Let me explain in detail how
this
book inspired me. I was impressed by her lifestyle, that her father was an engineer while her mother was a bookkeeper, where in the end her mother had to resign from her job and helped the children. They lived a difficult
life
after her father passed away and after Michelle
Obama
left for her higher education and started working at a law firm where she met Barack
Obama
. She was a very supportive and powerful person for Barack
Obama
and for her mother. I believe that it would be a good example for women like us. From spending a difficult
life
and gradually became the
first
lady during Barack
Obama
’s presidency.
Nevertheless
, she continued to serve the community while prioritizing time for her family regardless of her busy
life

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
