Dear Sir, I am writing a letter to bring your attention towards the area in my hometown where the roadside is not in good condition and is disturbing the traffic. I am Parneet Kaur, residing in Brampton, Ontario, L7A3W6, since 2021. Earlier the condition of the roads was in perfect condition but as the populace is rising the road are being affected drastically. I am complaining to you regarding the pathways that are broken that make the pedestrians and a seaport for which the drivers are affected the most. On rainy days people find it hard to go through the harbour. I request you to either reconstruct the wharf that was damaged or stop the heavy vehicle's entrance in those areas. People of the area want the committee to work on the harbour every year. I hope you will look into the matter as soon as possible. Yours sincerely Parneet Kaur

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.
