A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter give contact details for when you are away give instructions about how to care for your pet describe other household duties
Hi Kat,
Hope you are doing well.
Firstly
, thanks for taking the time off to look after my house and my dearest dog, Pete
while I am away. I must warn you that you are going to have a hard time with Pete
as he is pretty notorious these days. However
, I am sure you would manage with the experience of taking care of a cat at your place.
So my house is right behind the supermarket in groove street, downtown. You can find the keys to my apartment beneath the foot mattress. Do not forget to ring me at +16727272727, my work number, once you get the keys also
in case of any emergencies. I will be staying at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok hotel and if I change my hotel, I will keep you posted.
Pete
eats twice a day. His food is available next
to the refrigerator in a blue box. You can also
feed him with milk in case he feels hungry. Please walk him down the street at least once a day . I hope it is not too much of an effort. Bathe him once in two days, else he might stink badly.
I would appreciate it if you could check the mailbox quite often as I am expecting my credit card to get delivered. Feel free to use the items stocked up in the kitchen. You can reach out to Mrs John who is available next
door in case you need assistance with the laundry. Also
, it would be great if you could remind the gardener to mow the lawn if you see him around the community and turn off the porch lights at night for security reasons.
I really am glad to leave Pete
with you, for I was worried. Thanks again for doing this
Kat.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Kind regards,

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.
