single idea per paragraph
Try to structure your paragraphs better by addressing one main idea per paragraph. This will make your letter easier to read and understand.
suitable writing tone
There are some grammatical errors and awkward phrases that should be corrected to improve clarity and professionalism. For example, 'I stay in a rented apartment' should be 'I stayed in a rented apartment.'
suitable writing tone
In a formal letter, try to avoid colloquial phrases and be more precise. For instance, instead of 'my family members fight me,' you could say 'my family members were very upset with me.'
complete response
The letter addresses all parts of the task, providing details about the unsatisfactory conditions, the reactions of the family, and what action is expected from the manager.
greeting and closing
The greeting and closing of the letter are appropriately formal, which is suitable for a complaint letter.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
