complete response
Stay on topic by directly answering the questions prompted in the task, and provide sufficient detail for each point.
suitable writing tone
Maintain a consistent and appropriate tone throughout the letter. The tone should be suitable for writing to someone you know, but also professional as it's regarding accommodations for a job relocation.

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.
