    Tone

    How it works

    1. 1

      Paste the GT letter task, including the recipient and the three bullet points.

    2. 2

      Let the tool detect the tone, or force one if you want to practise a specific register.

    3. 3

      Read the tone note first. Knowing why it's formal teaches more than the letter itself.

    4. 4

      Steal the “tone toolkit” phrases into your notes, then write your own letter to the same task.

    Good to know

    One paragraph per bullet, the structure examiners can score fastest

    GT letters are marked on whether the purpose is clear and all three bullets are properly developed. The model letters follow the structure that makes this effortless to see: purpose stated in the first line (“I am writing to…” or its informal cousin “Just wanted to let you know…”), one body paragraph per bullet with a detail or two of invented specificity, and a closing line that says what should happen next. Specific invented details (“the model X200 washing machine, purchased on 3 May”) are what separate a developed bullet from a mentioned one.

    Register is vocabulary choice, not decoration

    The same request changes shape across registers: “I would be grateful if you could refund the purchase price” (formal) → “I'd really appreciate a refund” (semi-formal) → “any chance you could get my money back?” (informal). High GT bands come from controlling these shifts deliberately. Generate the same task in two tones and compare them line by line. It's the quickest register lesson available.

    Questions

    How does it decide the tone?
    From the recipient in your task, the same way you should: unknown people and organizations get formal; named people in official contexts get semi-formal; friends and family get informal. The output always states which tone was chosen and why, so wrong-tone tasks become a learning moment rather than a silent error.
    Are the letters safe to memorize for the exam?
    Memorize the framework: purpose line, bullet paragraphs, closing action, matching greeting/sign-off pairs, and the register phrases, not whole letters. Your test task will differ, and recited content is penalized. The framework plus a tone toolkit handles any prompt.
    How long should a GT letter be?
    At least 150 words, ideally 160 to 180. The models sit in that range deliberately: long enough to develop each bullet, short enough to protect your Task 2 time. Task 2 is worth twice as much of your writing score.
    Does this work for complaint letters, invitations, apologies, and job letters?
    Yes. Those are all standard GT task flavours, and each has its own conventional moves (a complaint states the problem before the demand; an apology takes responsibility before offering repair). The generator applies the right conventions from your prompt.
