Issues With Services # Letter For IELTS

You should spend 20 minutes on this task.

You recently went to a restaurant for a meal. But you are dissatisfied with the services provided to you.

Write to the manager to complain about it. Give details about the problems and request some compensation or refund. 

You should write at least 150 words. You do not need to write any addresses.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express  my dissatisfaction with the services that I received at your restaurant.

I ordered a vegetarian full course meal on 13/02/2015, just three days ago. After few of the dishes that I ordered, we started getting random items. When I contacted your representative, they instead of being sorry, blamed me,saying it was my fault, and I had not ordered correctly. To add misery to my insult, when I refused to rather eat any dish and move out, they asked me to pay the bill for the dishes, neither I ordered nor ate. On refusing to do say ,they asked me to wash the dishes. Even more, when I tried contacting you on phone, no one offered me any sensible answer. You can imagine how such a behavior upsets me, owing to the fact that I am one of your permanent customers.

I hope you can settle this matter by either returning me back my money or offering me a meal worth the amount I paid. Otherwise, I will be forced to complaint to higher authorities.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Alice Degenres.

Answering Properly # Reading Section

Reading section is often the most difficult section, for students. What makes it more difficult is although you know the answer, it is very important that you answer it properly. After all, you are marked on the basis of what you have answered, rather than whether you knew the answer or not. For today, let us have a look at how to answer in reading section and gain all the marks.

  1. STYLE MATTERS- Yes, the way you answer the question must be similar to the way it has been given in the example. For instance, if in the example the answer is given as 34%, your answer must be given as a number, followed by percentage. If you answer as simply 34 or 34 percent, chances are that you may lose some marks.
  2. WORD LIMIT- Often in questions a word limit is given for answering the question. Even prepositions and articles are counted as words. Make sure you answer within the word limit, if you exceed it, you may lose some marks.
  3. APPROPRIATE ANSWER- Often while reading a passage you may find details, that could fit in the question of an answer. Sometimes it so happens that the question is asking for just one of the options available in the passage. If you answer more than one,( just because they are given), you may surely lose marks.

So, go on, read the passage properly, but more importantly, answer them properly.

Television Dominance # Essay For IELTS

 

Television dominates the free time of too many people. It can make people lazy and prevent them from socializing with others.

Do you agree or disagree?

Write at least 250 words.

Answer

Television is a major source of entertainment for people these days and its craze has been increasing with the innumerable channels and programs available. Watching television does not involve any physical exercise and gives rise to laziness which might also lead to health problems.

Nowadays, people have a lot of stress in their lives due to busy work schedules and are unable to make the time to go out for any kind of entertainment. As this is the cheapest and the most easily available source of recreation, people resort to watching television more than anything. ‘Couch potato’ is a term which has been coined for those who watch television excessively. Most people sit at home with family or friends and watch programmes all day long. Due to this, people tend to get lazy, obese and prefer to stay at home and spend most of their time watching television rather than utilizing it by doing something productive.

Television means being indoors most of the time and no social activity is involved. This leads to people turning into introverts and losing social skills. People who only watch television start avoiding social situations which involves talking to people and being in their company. This can also become a problem which might result in diseases like insomnia and schizoid.

It can be concluded that watching too much television can have many negative consequences like becoming lazy, putting on weight and lack of social skills. But if it is watched in a limited and constrained manner all these negative effects can be avoided.

Moving To New City # Letter For IELTS

You are moving to a new city for work. You know a friend who lives there.

  • Ask the friend for help in looking for an accommodation.
  • Tell the friend where you would like to live
  • Tell the friend the type of place you are looking for

Write at least 150 words.

Answer

Dear Samaira,

I am writing to you to let you know that I will be shifting to Bangalore as I have secured the post of a Manager at a reputed company there. I would need your help to look for a suitable accommodation as I am unaware about the areas and cost of rent.

The accommodation should not be more than 10 kilometres away from my office but is it is closer, it would be much better. I do not need a very big place, just need a two room set with attached bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen as I do not have a family to accompany me. Thought the extra room would be beneficial if I have guests or friends over at my place. The range I can afford it in would be roughly around 10,000 rupees as anything more than that would make a hole in my pocket.

The place can be either an apartment or a house which need not be independent. The most important part of the accommodation should be its ventilation and lighting which should be more than sufficient. It would be great if you could send me a list of such options within a week as I need to join work next month.

Yours Truly,

Sarita Uppal
