Task Achievement
You've done well to include all necessary components pointed out in the task. However, try to expand on each point with more detail to clearly explain the issue, its impact, and your expectations.
Coherence & Cohesion
Consider organizing your ideas more fluently. Each paragraph should focus on a single idea, ensuring a smooth transition between them for better clarity.
General
Pay attention to grammatical errors and typing mistakes, such as 'I make' instead of 'I made', 'do not active' instead of 'does not activate', and the correct use of past tense to improve the letter's professionalism.
Content Relevance
Effectively conveyed the urgency and importance of the equipment for your work.
Tone
The polite tone throughout the letter is suitable for the situation, showing respect while expressing dissatisfaction.

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.
