General Training Writing Task 1: a letter to a pen friend

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
You have a pen friend living in another country and he/she is curious to know about the major news items in your country.
Briefly describe ONE news story that has been on TV, on the radio or in the newspapers in your country and explain why people are interested in it.
Write at least 150 words.
You do NOT need to write your own address.

Begin your letter as follows:
Dear ………..

Sample Answer

Dear Asha,

I hope you are doing well. It has been ages since I wrote to you. I was very busy with my board examinations. It is a big step towards my future. It seems to me as if the whole world is gearing up for a new beginning with unexpectedly surprising measures.

As for India, we are all demonetizing our ₹500 and ₹1,000 notes to battle black money. The expected amount to be ‘found’ is around £200 Billion GBP. Just take a moment to soak that all in. This is a gigantic move for India as sadly there is a lot of bribery and black money handling. Heck, every single person in India could be a mini millionaire if all of its wealth were to be distributed equally among its citizens.

Honestly, from my point of view the situation is pretty hilarious. As just yesterday people were trying to rake in as much money as possible, the bigger notes the better. And just in a matter of hours people went from gazing lovingly to simply hostilely glaring at bundles of money. Don’t you think all this is very humorous too?

But enough about my country, what about you? How do you feel about Donald Trump being elected? What new and unexpected things do you think will happen next?

Your buddy,
Diksha Ramola

IELTS General Letter # Museum Visit

You should spend 20 minutes on this task.

You went to a museum with your elderly friend last week. However, he/she found it difficult to walk around the museum. Write a letter to the manager and say :

  • whom did you visit the museum with?
  • what problems/inconveniences did he/she face?
  • also, suggest solutions to enhance the museum visit experience for an elderly person.

Write at least 150 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Sir/Madam,
We have been living in the city for quite a long time and your museum has been the must go place for our family members in every month. So, when my friend’s grandfather visited our city, we brought him along with us to visit the museum. Initially, he was very content with the feel of the place but got irritated because there were no places to sit. We felt an urgent need for more places to sit in the museum.

The second time he looked at us with pleading eyes was when we were having lunch at the museum. The food items were good for us, but they were a bit too oily for my grandfather. After six hours of visit, he felt tired and hungry. Had there been some fruits and juice center, it would have helped a lot.

The concerns might seem bit obvious but when interacting with other elderly people, I found similar feedbacks. Your museum has a good reputation in general, I hope these suggestions will help you in improving the experience of the museum.

IELTS Letter Writing Sample # Gifting Ideas to Friend

Write a letter to your English speaking friend who is visiting you soon and asking you what presents your family would like. Write:
– Who your family consists of
– What kind of presents each member would like
– How you feel about your friend coming to visit

Sample Answer:

Dear Jane,

I am so pleased to know that you are visiting us next week. We would love to spend time with you and everyone is excited to see you. In your last letter you asked about what presents my family would like, which is such a sweet gesture. I can certainly say that your visit itself is not less than a gift for all of us.

You asked about my family. We are five members, including my mother, wife, son, daughter and me. My mother is 67 years old and is fond of reading spiritual literature. She’ll be delighted to receive any book about Osho, Art of Living or any other spiritual publication. As of my wife, Ritu, she loves perfumes and floral fragrances are her favorite.

Aayan, my 7-year old son is crazy for Hot Wheels cars while my 4-year old daughter, Rishika loves Barbie dolls. I wouldn’t hesitate in asking you to bring my most loved dark chocolates that you gifted on our last Anniversary. I really loved their unique flavor.
That is all about the presents but what we are really excited about is your visit and a chance to serve you with all our love.

Cheers,
Raghav
