However
, I could not find enough information for making a decision.
Therefore
, I would like to ask you whether you could give me some suggestions about the lodge near the campus. I prefer to live in a one-bedroom apartment, which the price range is between $150 and $200 per week.
Moreover
, a kitchen room is necessary because I love cooking.
Furthermore
, since my class may finish late at night, I would rather stay in the female dorm located within a walking distance. I would be appreciated if you could give me all information

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.
