Task 1 writing in the IELTS exam is normally either a formal, semi-formal or informal letter. Candidates need to recognize the type of letter they are dealing with in the exam and choose an appropriate style of vocabulary based on that. The structure of the different styles of letters is very similar and future posts will deal with the composition of a letter, how to recognize which type of question is being posed and useful formal and informal vocabulary and expressions for letter writing in English.
