, the classes were not exactly up to my expectations. Primarily, because of the unengaging and monotonous way of teaching there. There were very less or no opportunities for the students to engage in class. No questions were asked, and no activities were scheduled to keep the learners active and motivated.

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.
