coherence cohesion
Ensure the dates are presented in a clear and consistent format (e.g., 28/7 should be 28th July to avoid any confusion).

Avoid minor grammatical errors (e.g., 'We a looking' should be 'We are looking').

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.
