coherence cohesion
While your letter is clear and generally well-structured, try to avoid small grammatical mistakes, such as 'have delighted' which should be 'were delighted' and 'a candles' which should be 'candles'. These small errors might affect clarity.
task achievement
Make sure to specify the celebratory event more clearly from the start of your letter. Instead of 'celebrated wedding anniversary', clarify whose anniversary it was: 'My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary'.
task achievement
You have successfully conveyed the reason for the celebration and expressed your appreciation effectively.
task achievement
Your letter is polite and maintains a suitable tone for the context.
coherence cohesion
Each paragraph contains a single idea, contributing to the clarity of your message.

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.
