You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. A large company in your area has decided to spend a certain amount of money, either to sponsor a local children’s sports team for two years, or to pay for two open-air concerts. It has asked for feedback from the general public. Write a letter to the company. In your letter, describe the benefits of sponsoring the sports team summarise the benefits of paying for the concerts say how you think the company should spend the money You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam, Write at least 150 words.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter in regard to the events your company is planning to sponsor in our
town
. I have been living in
this
area for more than 20 years and
this
is the first time that someone as big as your company is offering to do something huge like
this
. I believe that sponsoring our children's sports team would lead to better opportunities for them in case they want to follow a career in sports, thinking that
this
could be a great chance for our kids to be seen playing.
On the other hand
due to
the fact that we are a small
town
which never had the chance to see a concert live because all the artists pass nearby our
town
to make their shows in the big city, which is pretty far away from here. So I personally think that bringing our people the opportunity to enjoy the experience of a live show would be something unbelievable for them and it will be something that they probably will remember for good.
However
, even though I think that those ideas could be great for our community, nowadays there are things more important than that to be filled in our
town
Change the noun form
towns
show examples
such
as security or education. If your company would be able to provide us with some money to help us to fix some issues we are facing right now regarding those areas, we would be thankful for life. I will wait for your prompt response, Yours faithfully. Nicolas Arratta

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.
