A friend who is planning to visit you has asked you to describe the most interesting and enjoyable things to do in the community where you currently live. Write an email to your friend, telling them about these things. In your email, Say what these things are Say why they are interesting/enjoyable Suggest what you can do together

Dear Nikolai, Thanks for your email
last
week, and I’m so happy that you are arriving
next
weekend.
Firstly
, we have the downtown area, which has many old cafés and bars, and some sights
such
as statues and colonial houses. Apart from that, there is the park, which has a theatre, more eating places, and an outdoor music venue. All in all, these places offer a lot of variety, with options for dining, sightseeing and good quality live entertainment, and all within an easy walk of the central area where I live. Here is an idea. When you get here, let’s have an early night so that you get over the jet lag, and
then
go to the downtown area in the morning. We can have a traditional breakfast at one of the old cafés, and see some of the sights.
Then
we can see a show at the theatre, have dinner in the park if it’s sunny and
finally
listen to the music in the outdoor arena. I think we might need another early night after
such
a long day! Please get in touch before the weekend just to let me know if that sounds ok, and
also
your flight number. All the best, Mikhail

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.
