Accommodation Issues # Letter For IELTS

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

You are studying a short course in another country. Your accommodation was arranged by the course provider. There is a major problem with the accommodation.
Write a letter to the course provider. In your letter:

  • Say what the problem is.
  • Describe the accommodation you thought you were getting.
  • Ask the provider to solve the problem.

Write at least 150 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear course provider,

I am Alice Degeneres studying a eight week intensive course at Oxford University. My tuition fee is covered by me, however, the accomodation was provided by  your company. It is expected that I pass my final exams with a great score and get an on-campus placement. With the work pressure increasing, it is very important for me to be able to study in a pleasant environment.

I am staying at Everton Hostel. The course is fantastic, however I am finding issues with accommodation. When the accommodation was provided I was assured that I will be provided a single room, however with time, three different students have settled in my room, claiming the accommodation was provided by you. Even more they tend to party in the house and bring in friends, which becomes really difficult for me to study. I am in final year, and require a single room that could help me to focus on my studies properly.

I wonder if I am moved to a hostel which is more conducive to serious study, or I may use the remainder of my accommodation to go towards payment for a hostel.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Alice Degeneres

Write a letter to the director of university. In your letter
-describe the situation
-explain why you cannot continue at this time

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my concern about the inability to continue with the evening course that I am doing at your university.

The course I am talking about is a part time french course, under the guidance of Mr. Peter Pan. The duration of the course is from 7 to 9 pm. The reason for choosing the course was that French was a language that did interested me. However, I am afraid that it might be not possible on my behalf to continue the course.

The most important reason being my job. Earlier the work pressure was less and to cope up with both of them was quite easy. But in present times, our company is facing financial issues and the employees are required to work extra hours to face the situation so as to avoid bankruptcy.

I cannot express how disheartened I am to leave the course, but the circumstances demand it that way. I hope you’ll understand the urgency and refund me the left over money.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Faithfully yours,
Anmol.
