If you're preparing for the General IELTS test, you can now watch my latest video for writing task 1 here.
In this lesson I explain that you can forget about "semi-formal" letters. You just need to know when to write a formal letter and when to write an informal letter.
we still could not watch this video. how to register with this website

Hi Simon,
If I use both American and British spelling together in IELTS writing, would it affect my score? For example, if I write airplane once, then aeroplane in a second time in the same piece of writing.

Spelling has to be consistent in each individual piece of writing, otherwise it is an error. I don't know why you would choose to spell a word two different ways in an essay.
