coherence cohesion
Ensure that paragraphs are clearly divided by single ideas. For instance, separate the disagreement points from the agreement points more distinctly.
coherence cohesion
Use more transition signals to enhance the flow between sentences, such as 'however,' 'in addition to,' or 'furthermore.'
task response
Although the letter generally achieves the task, it can be improved by providing more specific examples of the unique features of Central Jakarta.
suitable writing tone
The letter is polite and respectful in tone, which is appropriate for the task.
greeting and closing
The closing is polite and offers a practical solution, which is a good way to wrap up the letter.
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.
