Dear Irina, It's very exciting to hear that you'
ll
be moving to London
and congratulations on your new job! As you'll
probably be working in the city centre, perhaps you could think about living near me in Croydon. It's a large town in south London
. There are people here from all over the world and it has a friendly, relaxed vibe. In terms of public transport
, you can get around London
by bus, train and the Underground. You should just get an Oyster card, which I'll
help you with. It means you can get on and off without having to buy a separate ticket each time. Public transport
is pretty crowded in the mornings but no worse than in Moscow! I'll
introduce you to my friends and I'm sure you'll
meet people at work too. You could try living in a shared house if you want to meet some locals. It's very exciting to hear that you'll

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.
