Dear Sir or Madam ,
I would like to enquire about swimming lessons.
I have seen an advertisement in the newspaper for swimming lessons, so I would like to apply for it.
When I was young, I learned how to swim, and I went to the swimming pool
last
weekend
.
However
, I could not swim well as I thought. Therefore
, I think I need to learn how to swim again.
Actually, I like water sports. For instance
, surfing, scuba diving and kayaking. Also
, when I was doing that there were not many problems. But, I just wanted to swim last
weekend
which was a bit matter to me. Because I could not breathe well and move well. As a result
, I decided to learn to swim for a safe life and enjoy water sports as well.
In addition
, could I ask about the courses' time and cost? I prefer weekend
classes due to
the fact that I usually work from Monday to Friday. Hence
, if I could I would like to participate in weekend
lessons.
I look forward to your answer.
Yours faithfully ,

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.
