Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single idea, but also consider providing more connecting sentences or transitions to link the paragraphs further and enhance the overall flow of the letter. This will improve the cohesion and make it easier for the reader to follow.
Task Achievement
Ensure that you address all parts of the task fully. In this case, more specific instructions on how the wallet could be sent or any particular details that need to be included in the shipment might enhance the task response.
Writing Tone
The informal writing style suits the context of writing to a friend, but you could further improve the tone by including more personal remarks or shared memories to enhance the personal touch of the letter, making the appreciation for the holiday and the request feel more heartfelt.

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.
