logical structure
Ensure that each paragraph introduces a clear topic at the beginning and sticks to it throughout, making the structure of your letter more logical and easier to follow.
greeting and closing
Your greeting and closing are appropriately formal, maintaining a polite tone suitable for writing to a manager. However, make sure to consistently use the formal title (either 'Sir' or 'Madam') or consider using 'To whom it may concern' if gender is unknown.
single idea per paragraph
Avoid mixing several ideas within a single paragraph. Keep your paragraphs focused on a single topic to enhance readability and cohesion.
complete response
While you have addressed the tasks by introducing yourself and expressing interest in the sports club, elaborating more on specific questions about the facilities and providing clearer, more direct queries would enhance your response.
suitable writing tone
Maintain a consistently formal tone throughout your letter. Avoid using colloquial expressions and ensure your writing is respectful and professional. Your writing mostly meets this criterion, but watch out for informal phrasing or slang.

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.
