tense inconsistency?

0Hi there,02br
02br
00My teacher gave me comments on my essay. Below are his comments:02br
02br
00This letter 01u00was02u00 obviously written with the rules of letter structure and paragraphing in mind. It 01u00is02u00 clearly laid out and well-organised. The paragraphs 01u00are02u00 balanced and of rougly equal length. 02br
02br
00I don't understand why my teacher used past tense in the first sentence whereas present tenses in the second and third sentence. Is it a mistake of tense inconsistency?02br
