coherence cohesion
You should structure your letter more clearly by using introductory phrases, clear paragraph separations, and transitions between paragraphs to improve logic and flow. Consider starting with an introduction where you mention the job you are applying for and how you found the advertisement.
coherence cohesion
Although you have used greeting and closing correctly, ensure that the closing phrase matches the level of formality throughout the letter. 'Your faithfully' is usually used when the name of the person is not known, and it should be 'Yours faithfully'.
coherence cohesion
Try to develop each paragraph around a single idea: 1) Your current situation and reason for applying, 2) Your suitability and previous experience, 3) Your availability for an interview. This will improve the clarity and effectiveness of your message.
task achievement
Make sure to address all parts of the task. You have mentioned your current activity and your suitability, but more specific details and examples could strengthen your application. Additionally, being more specific about when you can attend an interview would be helpful.
task achievement
Consider adopting a more formal writing tone appropriate for a job application. Avoid using colloquial expressions and maintain consistent formality throughout the letter. Using formal expressions and correct punctuation will enhance your professionalism.

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.
