Pen Pal # Letter for IELTS

You are writing to your pen pal, for the first time. Describe your previous studies and work experience, your current activities, hobbies and interests.

Tell your pen pal that you will be visiting him/her.

  • You should write at least 150 words.
  • You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

Dear Avinash,

Hi! I am Anmol and got your address from the international pen pals and am very excited to write to you.

I am currently working with BBC over a documentary they are making, that includes travelling around the world and meeting different people. The work is exciting and always keeps on toes. Meeting so many people, the realization has come that we all are so much similar and yet so different.

Before this, there is a university course on Fiction writing in Cambridge that helped me reach here. It was so much fun and different from the kind of courses one does in India, our country.

Presently, I am doing scuba diving, hill climbing, swimming, jogging, anything and everything under roof. On 3rd of December, I will be in Delhi and thought it would be nice if you could show me around and celebrate your birthday.

I am eagerly waiting for your reply and know about you and hope that we can become good friends.

With love,

Anmol

Marriage Wishes # Letter For IELTS

One of your friends recently got married, but you missed it and forgot to tell your friend that you couldn’t attend. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter,

  • apologies for missing the marriage.
  • explain why you missed it and why you could not tell it to your friend.

 

Dear Avinash,

I hope you are fine and having fun in your new life. It must be new beginning and living a life with someone you loved, nothing more could be wished for.

Knowing the person you are, you must have read the above lines in fist anger, and all I can say is I am really sorry for missing the most important day of your life and more importantly, moving out unannounced.

You remember, the dream I told you about, going on a world tour and writing all about it, it has come true. I have been three months into it and had not a minute to myself, so could not even write you earlier. Presently, my stay is at Sydney for seven days and then the journey will move towards Malaysia. The call came seven days before the wedding and it was expected that I reach Delhi as soon as possible.

It all happened so soon that I could not even tell you. Either ways, I will be reaching Bombay next month, and meeting you.

Excited to see you and your wife.

With love,

Anmol.

Frequently Asked Questions # IELTS

IELTS for some reasons brings about lots of questions in the minds of students. It could be either the fact that their career depends on it or the fear to score high. Either ways, let us have a look at some of the frequently asked questions by students.

When asked about the positive and negative developments, do I need to talk about both of them?
It is your choice. You can even take a bold stand and talk about one of them or you can either talk about both of them and then talk about the one that you favor more.
How should I answer the multiple choice questions in the listening test?
Answering the multiple choice questions in IELTS is a tough task and that is the reason that not everyone scores high in IELTS. It is tough but not impossible, so while answering the multiple choice questions, try to mark the keywords in the question so you will have less information to focus on. They will also help you so that you don’t get lost in the middle of the recording.
Do we need to answer in the same order as the points are written in the cue card of the speaking section?
It is always easy to follow the pattern and answer accordingly. But there is no rule about it. So, you can answer the question whichever way you want but make sure that you cover all the points.
Do I need to correct myself after making mistake in IELTS speaking?
This is a dicey situation. You can do self correction once in a while but then over doing it or panicking because of that one mistake, would let you lose marks.
