coherence cohesion
While the response generally communicates the needed information, more care should be taken to ensure that ideas are presented in a clear and logical sequence. Each paragraph should focus on a single idea to maintain structure and flow.
task achievement
Although the letter informs the recipient of the reason for leave, further elaboration could strengthen the response. Offers a suggestion for covering the work but could explore backup options or transition plans.

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.
