coherence cohesion
While your letter has a logical structure, consider improving the flow between paragraphs through better use of connective words and phrases.
coherence cohesion
Make sure that each paragraph is clearly focused on a single idea to maintain a high level of coherence.
task achievement
You addressed all parts of the task, but to achieve a higher score, expand on each point with more detail and examples.
task achievement
The writing tone is suitable for a job application letter, but it could be improved with a more formal sign-off than 'Yours Sincerely,' such as 'Yours faithfully,' because you started with 'Dear Sir or Madam' and did not use the director's name.
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.
