Below is the letter I sent to IELTS requesting for a re-marking
Dear Sir/ Madam:
I understand that IELTS has a good reputation in the world for its objectivity and standardization, and with all respects, I have to admit that I was so surprised to find out that my writing and speaking are graded so low at 6.0, 6.5 respectively.
As a keen English learner since teenager, I have a regular and intensive exposure on English via BBC, VOA and many other online resources, and I have been working in top 100 multi-national companies for almost 10 years, where English is the working language.
Right now, I need 8’s for all four parts of IELTS, in order to get a chance to move to a better place for me and my family, where a clean and free air could be breathed. What I am in desperate need to know is, if possible, could you please advise that where and why I lost points in the writing and speaking parts(better with my writing and recording of my speaking attached). Please understand that this is really important for me to identify my weakness which I don't notice by myself, and try to improve the next time I sit in IELTS test in case my target score not achieved.
I know that many IELTS takers, especially in China, prepare for the test by memorizing model answers, using template, things like that. But I am not one of them. I swear that every word in my writing and speaking is a direct output of my thinking on the spot.
A fair and standardized IELTS scoring is critical for every IELTS taker, as even the smallest difference of 0.5 point could have a so profound impact on them that could shatter their life-long dreams.
Your kind and careful reassessment and feedback are highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
子木光

看楼主的说明，我觉得就是tooyoungtoosimple啊，你想评委会给你哪里失分哪里需要改进的答复么？如果那样做了，那就是对其他人的不公平。
楼主加油！8分向你挥手！

欣赏你的精神，也鼓励这种做法。不过这封信水平确实不到七。要想考到八，首先要仔细的看考试说明里面对这个等级的具体要求。
嘿嘿，搬个板凳看后续进展~

还没等到雅思评委来颠覆我的价值观，你们几个移友已经快做到了。
谢谢各位回复，特别是指出我的语法错误的几位。
想起两句诗：不识庐山真面目，只缘生在此山中。
欢迎各位继续挑毛病。

Academic writing和日常英语还是有不小的区别的。
楼主在外企工作多年，英语口语流利，写作流畅应该无疑。但是这可能还不够，因为工作中强调的是意思的表达，没有人去刻意纠正你语法，用词以及句式是否地道。这些恰恰是7分所要求的。
所以，我觉得在没有留学背景的情况下，写作考到7已经很了不起了，考到8的，真是大神了。

楼主态度棒！赞一个！
加油，另外系统复习还是很必要的，雅思考试不是想当然。。。
你觉得网上那些中国式应试法复习方法不好，也可以用英文的资料复习嘛
