coherence cohesion
Improve logical structure by organizing your thoughts more clearly. Consider using separate paragraphs for different points, such as explaining the damage, offering a solution, and making an apology.
task achievement
Although the writing tone is generally suitable, adding a more specific detail about how the book was damaged could strengthen the task response.
greeting and closing
The letter starts and ends with appropriate greetings and closings, which contributes positively to the flow of the correspondence.
task achievement
The letter conveys the message effectively with a clear sense of apology and responsibility, which fits well with the task requirements.

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.
