Greeting and Closing
Ensure you use a clear and appropriate opening and closing for the letter. For example, start with 'Dear [Manager's Name or Position],' and end with 'Yours sincerely' or 'Yours faithfully' followed by your full name.
Coherence and Cohesion
Organize your ideas into clear paragraphs and develop each one coherently. Stick to one main idea per paragraph and use linking words to connect them smoothly.
Task Achievement
Expand on each point to fully answer the prompt. Describe the accident and your suggestions with more detail and provide examples if possible.
Task Achievement
Adopt a tone that is polite and formal, consistent with the nature of a complaint letter. Use formal language and polite requests to make your points effectively.

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.
