You have been living in a rental apartment for the past year. Recently a new neighbour moved in and has been making a lot of noise, which disturbs you. Write a letter to the landlord. In your letter: explain the situation describe why it bothers you suggest a solution

Dear Mr Hudson, I am Elizabeth Beth, your tenant in apartment C1-5. I am writing to notify you of the unbearable noise the new tenant of C1-3 is making which I have endured for the
last
couple of days with patience. I am hoping that you would talk to
this
neighbour and settle the issue. I consider myself lucky to have some great neighbours and never complained to you about any disturbance.
However
, the new resident on C1-3 is making life tougher for me. They moved in two weeks ago and I am already forced to write you
this
complaint letter. They have parties almost every day and play music at a higher volume. I go to bed at around 10.30 pm only to wake up again by the loud noise from their flat. I am not sure if
this
is something I should mention but the family members have nasty quarrels and they do not keep it inside their house. I live with a teenage daughter and a husband who are equally agitated. I think it would be inappropriate for me to personally intervene, and
that is
why I am relying on you for a solution. You should talk to other tenants on the same floor and get to know what really is happening. You have the authority to talk to the tenant of C1-3 and try to solve the problem.
Otherwise
, I would be forced to shift to a new residence. Expecting your cooperation in
this
regard. Yours sincerely, Elizabeth Beth

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
