A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter give contact details for when you are away give instructions about how to care for your pet describe other household duties

Hi Emma. Hope you are doing well. I would like to thank you again for agreeing to take care of our dog and house during our voyage to France. I am delighted to have a friend like you whom I can trust and get help when needed. If you need something or have any questions, please feel free to call me or write a message on Whatsapp or email. I have had a local sim card since my previous visit there, so my number is +812345678, and the email remains the same.
However
, in case of an emergency, you can call my parents at +1234567. To avoid any unexpected issues, I've written you some simple instructions for those ten days and left them on the fridge door.
Firstly
you need to take out Matilda twice a day for fifteen minutes. She likes to be at the park
that is
across Blue road. There is a particular area for the dog. Even you can release her for a run. It's essential to feed her only once but add multivitamins to her meal that I've prepared on the kitchen table at the corner.
Secondly
, please pick up the newspaper and magazines from the walkway. It will be a rainy week, and it could get wet. Thank you in advance. See you later, after my return. Alex.

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.
