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

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.

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.
