A reporter complained about a new TV program that you like. Write a letter to the newspaper editor. – Describe your point of view. – Say what you like about the show and why. – Ask the newspaper to take some action.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to let you know about my dissatisfaction with a view expressed by one of your reporters about the newly launched TV program named "Youth Icon". First of all, I do not agree with some of the ideas put forward by your columnist in his article. He used some unacceptable terms to describe the show, which must not be allowed in a national newspaper. If you give space for
such
radical thoughts on your media,
this
will definitely ruin your reputation.
Although
we should respect each other's opinions, publishing
such
biased content in public media should be thought over. What I like about the show is it features guests from various professions, and lets them share their backstories, which is surely motivating for young individuals like us. When people hear from people from different backgrounds, who have made their marks in their respective fields, it serves as a guideline for what to do to be successful in those fields and/or in life. Have you seen the
last
week's episode featuring a young entrepreneur? I found his talk so thought-provoking. I request you have some guidelines or frameworks for content. I
also
suggest you should write a clarification notice about the concern that the article has raised among your readers. Please make sure a mass publication like yours remains out of controversy, and contents will be properly scrutinized before publishing. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours faithfully, Raj Kumar

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.
