Task Response
The letter does not accurately address the prompt about your own experience moving to a new city. Instead, it appears to be responding to someone else about their move. Focus on the task's requirements.
Coherence and Cohesion
Clarify your ideas and make sure each paragraph focuses on a single point. The current structure is somewhat disorganized.
Writing Tone
Use suitable greetings and closings for a letter to a friend. The closing signature 'Mr Phung' feels too formal.
Task Achievement
Expand on your experiences and comparisons rather than asking questions about the friend's location. The task asks for your experiences and comparisons.
Writing Tone
You expressed a willingness to help and show concern for your friend, which is friendly and appropriate.

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.
