month since I started working in a consultancy company in the city. I am currently living in temporary accommodation with one of my colleagues and I would like some advice from you about finding a suitable apartment to live in. I would say that my budget is $1500 per month for a fully furnished kitchen including a washing machine. Since my office is close to downtown, approximately 15 minutes by car, I would like to move in somewhere near my office where there are many groceries and stores in the vicinity. I am looking for a single-bedroom or studio apartment furnished with a refrigerator and microwave in the kitchen which is not too expensive. Linking Words

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.
