The format for this IELTS Writing task is simple. Just begin your letter as follows: Dear .....................,

Dear Sachin, I am glad that you have accepted our request to look after our residence and pet
while
we go away from the house for a 7 days holiday trip to Thailand.
This
vacation is much needed for our family since it has been years since we go outside. We are planning to move on at around 4 PM on coming Sunday and we expect you to come our home on the same day. In case of any delay in your arrival, you may call on 9841447042 anytime at your convenience. I know we both have been good friends for the
last
15 years and I am pretty sure our bonding will grow in future. It may feel a little complicated for you to look after our pet, a German Shepherd, which I bought from my uncle as he will be a little upset and anxious about not seeing us in our house, but I am sure you will take good care of him. You need to feed him three times a day with a pedigree which we have kept in the Kitchen drawer, you will find it once you open the drawer.
Besides
, I will request you not waste water on unnecessary pieces of stuff during your stay, as we have a shortage of water in our community. Hope you will have great fun in our apartment, we will catch up with you next Sunday. Yours truly, Kabir Hamal

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
