You have arranged to rent a new apartment, but will not be able to move in immediately due to some personal difficulties. Write a letter to the apartment owner. In your letter -describe the situation -explain why you won't be able to move in right now -say that you would like to move in at a later date.
Dear Mr Smith,
I am writing to discuss the change in dates of our agreement
due to
unforeseen circumstances that have occurred recently. As discussed in our last
meeting, I am supposed to move into my apartment on July 3rd. Unfortunately, that is
not possible anymore because of my updated exam schedule that was released yesterday.
My final exams have been postponed and are now commencing in the month of July. For this
particular reason, I cannot take up the task of moving to a new place during that month. Therefore
, I will have to push my move-in date till after my exams are over.
As per the schedule, my last
test is on August 4th; thus
, I can start shifting from August 5th onwards. Also
, I am willing to pay the advance deposit and half of the rent for the month of July for you to keep the house available for me.
I am very sorry for the inconvenience this
may have caused you. We can discuss the details of our new arrangement further
in person at your availability.
Yours sincerely,
Akshita ParasherSubmitted by parasherakshita123 on

task response
Provide more specific details about the unforeseen circumstances and how they affect the move-in date. This will add depth to your explanation and clarify the situation for the apartment owner.
coherence and cohesion
The logical structure of the letter is clear and well-organized. Ensure consistency in the formality of your language throughout the letter, particularly in the greeting and closing.
Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately
Linking words are very important in your essay.
To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.
Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.
Linking word examples:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- in additional
- moreover
- also
- for example
- for instance
- therefore
- however
- although
- even though
- despite
