grammar

Make sure to proofread for spelling and grammatical errors, such as 'recieved' instead of 'received' and 'forteen' instead of 'fourteen'.

structure

Consider breaking down complex sentences into simpler ones for better clarity.

clarity

Include a clear, polite request for a prompt response to your issue in your closing paragraph.

task achievement

You clearly state your issue and provide relevant details about your request.

coherence

The letter maintains a formal tone suitable for correspondence with a bank.

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.
