Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.

In many countries around the world, rural people are moving to cities, so the population in the countryside is decreasing. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
Rural-urban migration being a widespread trend all over the world leads to a decrease in the countryside population. From my perspective, this is a negative development which can be a reason for overpopulation in cities and cultural erosion of countryside.

Financial education should be included as a mandatory subject in schools to prepare students for managing money effectively.
Financial education must be taught in schools as one of the important subjects, so that the students may manage their currency more effectively. I agree with this statement because it is one of the more important subjects and it helps the students to prepare for adulthood and mature life.

Some people think that the increasing use of computers and mobile phones nowadays has unwanted effects on young people's reading and writing skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The prevalence of computers and mobile phones has changed the way in which young people communicate with others. Personally, I believe that these technologies do not have wholly negative impacts on their reading and writing skills. Rather, it depends on the mode of use and which sector they have employed.

Nowadays, some celebrities such as film stars, sportsmen and pop musicians are paid too much money. Do you agree or disagree? Which jobs should be highly paid?
In the present times, it has become increasingly common for famous celebrities like actors, musicians and athletes to be paid a much higher sum of money. One faction of people believe that this is not the right thing while others are of the view that they deserve this. I partially agree with the latter argument and at the same time, believe that there are other professions which deserve to be paid highly as well. This essay will explore these arguments and provide my humble opinion on this matter.
