A friend has told you that he or she feels lonely in their new city away from their family. Write to your friend, and Explain why people can feel this way Give some ideas on how to solve the problem Ask your friend to contact you and tell you if this works
Dear Petra, I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling rather isolated in your new home, especially as you have always been
such
an outgoing person! I think that people tend to feel lonely because they don’t have enough opportunities to meet new friends. This
leads to them staying at home more,
so that the situation becomes even worse. If I were you, I would join some of the clubs and societies which exist at your college, Remove the comma

for
example
the ballroom dancing club – because I know how much you love dancing. Add the comma(s)
example,
This
means you will meet people with similar interests and abilities, and you can share the enjoyment of ballroom. I would also
try to use the Internet more, to meet people safely online and see if they are local to you in your new city. You have to be very careful, of course, but if you use Internet sites as they are intended I’m sure you will find some new friends - not necessarily of the romantic type! Please do keep in touch, and let me know how you get on with these suggestions. If you let me know how this
goes, I can try to think of other ways to help you in your situation at the moment. Take care and do
stay in touch. All the best, AnjelikaVerb problem

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.
