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.

Unfortunately, not every household has the financial capacity to pay for their kids' tuition. In this case, the most effective way to present youngsters with education is by offering them free education in their early school years.

They will have a negative impact on human life. The second point of view, in my opinion, is more persuasive.
