Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that your letter follows a clear and logical structure. Arrange your ideas in a coherent manner that is easy for the reader to follow, with each paragraph containing a distinct idea or argument.
Coherence & Cohesion
Begin your letter with a proper greeting, and conclude with an appropriate closing. While 'Respected Sir' is a suitable greeting, ensure your closing phrase matches the level of formality throughout your letter - consider using 'Yours faithfully' when the name of the person is not known, or 'Yours truly' for a slightly less formal tone.
Coherence & Cohesion
Make sure each paragraph presents a unique point. Your letter should have an introductory paragraph, a body with one or more paragraphs covering the main topics, and a concluding paragraph.
Task Achievement
Cover all the points mentioned in the task prompt. You have provided an explanation for the delay and requested more time, but consider adding more about the introductory aspect, like which project you are referring to and perhaps a brief mention of what the project entails to strengthen the context.
Task Achievement
The tone of your letter should be consistently formal and respectful. Avoid using casual language or contractions in formal letters.
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.
