coherence cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph presents a clear and distinct idea related to the prompt to enhance the logical structure. Introducing your reasons for departure or aspects of the course you enjoyed in different paragraphs can help with this.
task achievement
Your letter demonstrates a good grasp of task response, clearly addressing all parts of the task. To further improve, ensure that each section of your response - thanking the teacher, explaining your departure, and discussing the course aspects - is balanced in terms of detail and development.
task achievement
Maintain a consistent and appropriate tone throughout your writing. Your letter mostly achieves this, creating a respectful and sincere tone which is suitable for the context. To refine further, be mindful of using more formal expressions where appropriate, especially in closing remarks.
coherence cohesion
Check your letter for minor grammatical errors and aim to vary your sentence structures more to enhance readability and engagement.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
