Dear Sir or Madam, Hi,
I’m
Dayoung Lee. I will work at your organisation for three months as a design intern. I am writing
this
letter to let you know that
I’m
so grateful that I got
this
opportunity. I can not wait to join the team and work with you. Thanks again for offering
this
role to me. It means a lot to me. I will do my best to be a supportive force to your team. You asked me what
I’m
hoping to gain from the work experience in your establishment. Here is my answer.
First,
I want to gain a better understanding of the design process in actual industries. Since I just graduated the college, I don’t have a lot of knowledge of that. It would be great if I could learn it from
this
internship.
Secondly
, I expect that I can get some advice on how to use programs efficiently
such
as Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator from coworkers. I will meet more experienced designers and their tips would be very helpful. These are the main qualities I hope I can get for 3 months. I have some questions before I start my internship. Is there any dress code I should be aware of? I want to be dressed up to fit the company’s standards. At
last
, do I need to bring something on my first day? I would appreciate it if you could answer these questions.
I’m
looking forward to seeing you in person. Yours sincerely, Dayoung Lee

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
