In your letter Give details of the course you took at the university explain why you recommend the university give some advice about how to apply

Dear Peter, Thanks for your
last
letter in which you asked me for advice concerning your college studies choice. As you may know, Mechanical engineering has the potential to continue to be a job for all times. In order to study, there are some prerequisites
such
as Maths, Science and Physics. The best thing about
this
field is the possibility to help, in a practical way, in the progress of our community.  Algiers University is one of the best universities in Africa.
Besides
several facilities and laboratories
this
university has, you will have the chance to be taught by the finest professors in the world. In case you decided to apply, the
first
source is obviously the University's website. There is a lot of important information, as well as some prerecorded or live webinars you can attend. If you are interested, I would be happy to give you a tour when you visit me
next
time. Please, take care of yourself, and hope to hear from you in the near future. Wish you all the best. Abdelouahab

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.
