Task Achievement
For Task Response, you have done well in addressing all the points required by the prompt. However, you could enhance your score by adding more details about your life now and perhaps explaining more about your work or personal achievements since leaving the town. This would provide a fuller picture to your friend.
Coherence & Cohesion
To improve Coherence and Cohesion, consider adding more transitional phrases or words between sentences and paragraphs to better guide the reader through your ideas. While the overall structure is good, smoother transitions would enhance the flow of information and make your letter even more readable.
Tone & Register
Remember to maintain a balance between informal and respectful tone when writing to a friend. You've generally managed this well, but ensuring a consistent tone throughout can further improve the letter. Avoid overly formal words or phrases that might feel out of place in a friendly letter.

The Closing

The style of the letter determine how you have to close it.

Check out the suggested closing sentences for each type of letter in the General IELTS Test. The closing sentence should be the last sentence of your letter.
