logical structure
It's crucial to establish a coherent logical structure to guide the reader clearly through your letter. Your letter lacked strong paragraphing and sometimes introduced ideas randomly.
greeting and closing
You have appropriately used a greeting and a closing in your letter, which is good. However, make sure to use appropriate titles and names in your greeting to maintain formality and personalize your letter.
single idea per paragraph
Each paragraph should focus on one main idea. In some cases, you combined different ideas in a single paragraph. Consider organizing information more neatly into separate paragraphs.
complete response
The response should address all parts of the task. Some areas were covered well, but more detail and expansion on each point would improve task achievement.
suitable writing tone
Although a casual tone can be friendly, remember to maintain a suitable writing tone that is appropriate for the context of the task and your relationship with the reader.

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.
