task response
Say more clearly that you will work together. For example: “I am pleased that we will give the presentation together.”
task response
Give a clear time and place to meet, or ask for two possible times. “Are you free on Tuesday at 3 p.m. to practise online?”
task response
Explain your plan for the talk in a little more detail, such as who will speak about each part.
coherence and cohesion
Use a clearer order: say why you are writing, share your plan, then ask to meet.
coherence and cohesion
Keep one main idea in each paragraph. The first two paragraphs repeat the same news, so join them or remove one.
coherence and cohesion
Use simple linking words such as “First”, “Also”, and “Finally” to guide the reader.
task response
You include all the main parts: working together, ideas for the talk, and a request to practise.
coherence and cohesion
Your letter has a polite greeting and closing, and the ideas are set out in separate paragraphs.
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.
