Mrs Barret, an English-speaking woman who lives in your hometown, has advertised for someone to help her in her home for a few hours a day next summer. Write a letter to Mrs Barret. In your letter - Suggest how you could help her in her home - Say why you would like to do this work - Explain when you will and will not be available

Dear Mrs Barrett, I am writing
this
letter with regard to inform you that I saw your advertisement and I decided to reply to that. I am your neighbour and my apartment is located
next
to your flat. I usually see you when you are shopping. If you accept me as a volunteer for helping you, I would be happy. I can make cook perfectly as I passed some courses
last
summer.
In addition
, I like to clean up the house. I had some experience as a housekeeper when I was at university. I have a bachelor's degree in English literature so English communication is easy for me. Now I begin new nursery courses which I should pass some volunteer jobs and I think it will be a suitable opportunity for me. For the
next
year, I want to pass summer courses, maybe I have classes all weekdays and I will be free all weekends from 9 A.M until 3 P.M. If
this
time fits for you, I would be pleased to work for you. Please let me know if you need more information. Best regards, Sara

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.
