task response
Focus on creating a clear introduction to your letter that directly addresses the purpose of your writing. Avoid indirect statements that might confuse the reader about your intentions.
task response
Consider offering more constructive solutions to the problem, such as suggesting ways to train the dog not to bark or discussing potential compromises, rather than immediately suggesting to give the dog away.
coherence and cohesion
Your letter would benefit from a more structured approach. Consider organizing your letter into paragraphs, each addressing a specific point: 1) introduction and reason for writing, 2) how the issue affects you, 3) proposed solutions, and 4) a polite closing statement.
coherence and cohesion
Avoid abrupt endings to your letter. A more thoughtful conclusion, reiterating your main points and expressing a desire for a peaceful resolution, will make your letter more effective and respectful.
suitable writing tone
Consider your tone throughout the letter. While it's important to convey the seriousness of the issue, ensure your language remains respectful and constructive, aiming to foster understanding and cooperation.

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.
