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.

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

Issues In School Course # Letter For IELTS

You have recently enrolled in an evening school course. Write a letter to the director about something you are not happy with. You should include:-

  • Give details of the course
  • Explain what the problem is?
  • What do you expect the school to do?

Write at least 150 words.

Answer

 

Dear Sir/ Madam,

This is to bring to your notice that I recently enrolled in a course at your institute which runs evening classes. The course I took up is a Certificate in Patisserie for 3 months duration and I commenced it 3 days ago. It is a 2 hour class which begins at 6 in the evening.

Before I joined this course I was given to understand that I would be receiving all the material and equipment from the institute and that the cost for the same was included in the total tuition fee that I deposited. When I went for my first class a few days back I was asked to deposit an extra Rs. 5000 for the material and equipment that would be used during the course.

I was astounded when this information was given to me and upon me inquiring about this from the admissions officer, I was not provided with a clear answer rather told to discontinue classes if the amount remained unpaid. Moreover, the receipt that I received clearly mentions for the provision of supplies for the course.

I would be obliged if this matter could be settled as soon as possible as I cannot miss classes and waste precious time.

Yours Truly,

Parul Oberoi

Computer Repair # Letter For IELTS

You recently had your computer fixed at the local computer store. However, you are not pleased with the services you received.

Write a letter to the store manager. In the letter

  • describe the situation
  • explain why you are dissatisfied
  • say what you want the manager to do.

Write atleast 150 words.

 

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the services provided by your company.

My computer, few days back had display issues and I got them fixed with your establishment. It has been three days since I brought the computer home and it back to the position I gave it to you. In addition, it has rather gone worse. Earlier the CPU was working and it had only display issues. However now the entire system has stopped working and has become a box.

When I brought the system for repair to your company again, they asked me to pay extra charges for it. The company, however, assured me a 1 year warranty when I first gave it for repair.

I suppose there is a lack of co-ordination between your employees and management. Either ways, I would be thankful if you looked into the matter and either provided me the services or pay me back the money.

Yours faithfully,

Alice Degenres.
