archaeology.
Therefore
,
this

will help me to understand the details of historical showpieces in the

this

subject will be another advantage to carry out any tasks that are required by the management of the
museum
.

the time constraints because of my studies. I will be available only 3 days a week. To be precise on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. During these three days, I am able to work eight hours a day. If there is any ad-hoc requirement to work longer hours, with prior communication I can adjust myself, but subject to my study commitment. I look forward to hearing from you, and if you need any
further

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.
