Greeting and Closing
Ensure your letter begins with a proper salutation. While 'Dear Sir,' is acceptable, 'Dear Sir or Madam,' may be more appropriate since you may not know the gender of the recipient.
Coherence and Cohesion
Try to organize your letter into clear paragraphs, each addressing one main idea. For instance, one paragraph for accommodation, another for food requirements, and a third for alternatives. This structure is present but can be more clearly defined.
Task Achievement
Expand on your requests by explaining why these specific accommodations and meal arrangements are important to you. This will help align your letter more closely with the task by providing a complete response.
Suitable Writing Tone
Maintain a formal tone throughout your letter. While the tone of your letter is generally suitable, phrases like 'I hope this email finds you in good health' are more informal. Consider using 'I am writing to enquire about' or similar formulations.
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.
