As I mentioned before that its very important to get
your tone right in General Training IELTS Writing Task
1. Here are some good greetings and salutations in an
informal letter.
Friends usually have names ;-) so address him/her
with a name: begin the letter with Dear Joey/ Tim
/Rebecca, etc.
Begin your letter with some general statements. Refer
to the letter you have received from your friend and
thank him/her for it or apologies for the fact that you
have not answered the last letter soon enough.
Use the proper register. The letter is supposed to be
informal so you can use contractions, informal linking
words like well, by the way, anyway, so, colloquial
expressions, etc.
You can use more-conversation-like statements or
questions in your letter: You know that I had this
exam, right? You think he will be able to come to
the party?
Use questions to ask about your friend arrange the
next meeting, send greetings to his/her friends and
family, etc.
End your letter in informal way: Best wishes; Love;

Task Achievement (answering the question) is one
fourth of your total mark and it is an area in which
everyone should do well in IELTS General Training
Writing Task 1. This is often, however, not the case.
What you must do is to write a letter, which would fully
answer the needs of the problem in a real life
situation. For example, a question I have seen
somewhere gives the candidate the following task:
You have some library books that you are unable
to return as a member of your family in another
city has fallen sick and you have had to go and
look after them.
Write a letter to the library. In your letter, you
should:
Explaining the situation.
Apologize for the inconvenience called
And say what you are going to do.
You should write at least 150 words.
This seems a fairly typical IELTS General Training
Task 1 writing question. Answering the question in a
way that will get you a good Task Fulfillment grade
needs a number of things for you to do.
1) Write at least 150 words.

Writing less does not answer the question, which tells
you to write at least 150 words. If you write less than
140 words, the examiner marking your paper will give
you a maximum of 5 for Task Fulfilment or even less.
2) Fully do all the things that the question asks
you.
In this case it asks you to do 3 main things:
- explain the situation
- apologize for the inconvenience
- say what you are going to do

Here is a quick guidance of punctuation.
1. Use full-stops (/ . /) only at the end of a sentence.
Begin sentences with a capital letter. Proper nouns
also require capital letters.
2. Use commas (/ , /) to separate parts of a sentence
to avoid any confusion with meaning. Additional
information is enclosed within commas.
e.g. the pollution of rivers, which is often caused by
chemical waste and fertilizer, is causing enormous
problems for fishermen, especially in Britain. (The
comma after fishermen ensures that especially
connects with Britain not fishermen.)
A comma is used after most connectives (linking
words), and usually before and after a connective in
mid-sentence. Commas separate clauses in most
conditional sentences.
e.g. Therefore, the use of chemicals on farms should
be better controlled. However, even if such laws were
passed tomorrow, most rivers would take years to
recover.
3. Semi-colons (/ ; /) are used to separate
sub-groups within lists, but more often to join two
independent clauses that are grammatically complete
but closely related. However, in the latter case, you
practice pre-test
pronunciation reading

can always use a full-stop instead.
e.g. Chemical waste from factories is still drained into
river systems; it is hard to believe that this practice is
still allowed by law in some areas.
4. You may use a colon (/ : /) if you need to draw
attention to what is to follow.
e.g. The environment is important for the following
reasons:
5. Use quotation marks (/ /) for quotes and titles.
Apostrophes (/ /) show possession or contraction.
6. Do not use contractions (e.g. dont, shouldnt,
cant etc.) in formal writing. Use the full form
instead. However, you may use them in the General
Training Task 1, in the case of writing an informal
letter.
