task achievement
Ensure your letter addresses all prompts fully, providing sufficient detail for each. While your letter mentions the construction, its impact, and a proposed solution, expanding on these aspects could enhance task completion.
task achievement
In your introduction, clearly state the purpose of your letter and the issue at hand for immediate clarity. This sets an appropriate tone and aids task achievement.
task achievement
Employ a more formal tone by avoiding colloquial language ('I apologies to say this words') and aiming for correct spelling and grammar throughout. This adjustment will make your writing more suitable for its intended audience and purpose, improving writing tone.
coherence cohesion
Organize your letter into clear paragraphs, with each focusing on a specific aspect of your complaint. A logical flow from describing the problem, to explaining its impact, to suggesting solutions, will enhance coherence and cohesion.
coherence cohesion
Use transitional phrases between paragraphs to guide the reader smoothly from one point to the next, reinforcing the logical structure of your letter.
coherence cohesion
Closing your letter with a polite request or expression of gratitude ('I would appreciate your attention to this matter') can strengthen the greeting and closing aspects of your letter, making it more formally appropriate.

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.
