Task Achievement
Start by giving a clear introduction to your letter, stating the purpose of your writing in the first paragraph. This helps the reader understand your intent right away.
Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single idea. In your case, introducing the issue in one, discussing the missing pages in another, and concluding with a suggestion or a request can help improve coherence.
Coherence and Cohesion
Use appropriate sign-offs and openings based on the formality of the letter. 'Dear Sir/Madam' is a good start, but consider using 'Yours sincerely' or a similar formal closing.
Task Achievement
To achieve a higher task response score, it's important to be detailed and specific in your explanations. Mentioning specific pages and explaining why they are important would strengthen your letter.
Task Achievement
Improve the formal tone of your writing by avoiding colloquial expressions and maintaining a professional and respectful tone throughout the letter. Phrases like 'How do you do?' may not be appropriate in this context.

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.
