Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full and clear credit is given to Writing9 with appropriate and specific direction to the original content.

coherence cohesion
The letter lacks a clear structure and coherence. Make sure that each paragraph has a clear main idea and that the ideas are logically connected.
coherence cohesion
The greeting and closing of the letter are not appropriate for a formal letter. Ensure that you use appropriate salutations and closings in formal letters.
task achievement
The response addresses the main points of the task, but lacks clarity and detail. Be more specific in describing the problem at the hotel and the manager's response, and clearly state what you want the manager to do.

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.
