Task Response
To improve your score in the task response category, make sure to directly address all parts of the prompt. Ensure that your letter is structured in a way that each section (thanking for the photos and holiday, explaining why you didn't write earlier, and the invitation) is distinctly tackled. While you've covered these points, elaborating a bit more on specific memories shared during the stay could make your response more complete.
Coherence and Cohesion
Regarding coherence and cohesion, strive for a more coherent flow of ideas by enhancing transitions between paragraphs. Aim for smoother transitions that naturally lead the reader from one idea to the next. This will significantly boost the logical structure of your letter. Additionally, try to start and close your letter in a more conventional or expected manner for this type of correspondence, which will improve your score in greeting and closing.
The Closing
The style of the letter determine how you have to close it.
Check out the suggested closing sentences for each type of letter in the General IELTS Test. The closing sentence should be the last sentence of your letter.
Formal style (To someone you have not met, whose name you don’t know)
- Yours faithfully,
Semi-formal (To someone you may or may not have met, whose last name you know)
- Yours sincerely,
Informal (To someone you know well, whose first name you know and use)
- Best regards,
- Warm wishes,
