However

, my flight to Dhaka has been suddenly cancelled as the Swiss Government has postponed all international flights until 2nd September because of a recent volcanic eruption in the outskirts of Geneva. There is no casualty, but ashes are still massive all over the sky of the city. In these circumstances, I assume my joining your organization will be delayed until 5th September, and I hope you will consider my situation. I shall update you on my situation. Yours faithfully, Arnab

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.

In some cities public parks and open space are being changed into gardens where local residents can grow their own fruits and vegetables. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
In this contemporary world, public parks and open spaces are replaced by gardens in order to grow fruit and vegetables for their own meals while there are some disadvantages to the replacement.
