Task Response
You have communicated your appreciation to the restaurant effectively, but try to enrich your letter with more specific details. For example, mention the names of dishes you found particularly enjoyable or any specific instances of excellent service.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your letter has a clear structure, but you can enhance the logical flow by connecting sentences and ideas more smoothly. Consider using a wider range of linking words and phrases beyond 'also' and 'in addition' to create a more cohesive narrative.

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.
