Change The Course # Letter For IELTS

You have 20 minutes for this task.
You are not happy with the course you are doing at college and would like to change the course.
Write a letter to the college director requesting to change your course. You should include details about :
what course you are doing now?
why you are not satisfied with that course?
what course would you like to change to?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am presently enrolled in a computer course at Graphic Era and am writing regarding some difficulties I have had doing this course for the past one year. I would like to know if it is possible to change my course.
When enrolling in this course, I chose it for my majors as well, which begin after one year of general studies. These general studies include English and Math. It was during my general studies that I realized my passion for English. I have found that I find more satisfaction reading the toughest novel rather than solving the most difficult computer problem.
I believe that the last day allowed for students to make any changes was three days after filling the form but, in my situation the circumstance is uncompromising. The fact that, I had no idea that I will fall in love with English after one year, made me make the choice. I have tried reading computers but the urge to teach English more keeps hitting me.

Therefore, reading computers for the next two years does not makes any sense to me.
Thus I am requesting that my current enrollment be transferred from the computer course to the English course. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Anmol.
