Your neighbours have a dog that is noisy at night. You can’t sleep due to this. Write a letter to your neighbours. In your letter: • describe the problem with the dog • explain why it is important for you to sleep • outline what your neighbours could do about the situation

Dear Mr Oliveira, I am writing to make you aware of an unpleasant
situation
which I have been facing since you started working at night. I do not know if you have noticed it before, but your
dog
seems to feel extremely stressed while he is alone during your journey away home. I am Raquel your

who lives in apartment 32C, just below yours. As I wrote before, since you have started working at night, your
dog
spends the entire dawn barking and crying. I believe it happens because he is not used to staying alone for
such
a long period of time.
However
, I would like to ask you to take some action in order to minimize
this
situation
, for both him and me. I work in a hospital and I wake up daily around 4:30 and because of the noise from your apartment I cannot sleep well. I used to have a pet before moving here and I had already faced the same problem with my
dog
.
Thus
, I would like to give you some advice in order to have
this
problem solved. The most effective action I believe is to hire a
dog
trainer,
this
professional can train your
dog
how to stay alone without fear. Another action is to adopt another pet, as your
dog
never feel alone again.
Finally
, before going to work you can play and walk with your
dog
, as he will feel relaxed and sleep. Please, consider
this
situation
urgent since not only me but
also
your
dog
is struggling with
this
situation
. Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Raquel Prudente.

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.
