Write a letter to the librarian. In your letter • describe what you like about the library • say what you don’t like • make suggestions for improvements.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am a resident of Watline Avenue and a regular visitor to the
library
in
this
neighborhood

. I am writing
this
letter in response to your notice regarding the positive thoughts you have asked from its users to enhance the services of
this
facility.
First,
I would like to appreciate all your efforts to provide a better experience for the readers. The collection of a large number of
books
on diverse subjects acts as a university for people to gain information from all around the world.
Although
we live in a far-flung area where we do not have decent internet speed, we still get adequate news and knowledge because of the
library
materials.
In addition
to
this
, the staff is enormously supportive and encouraging. By asking some basic questions about our interests, they suggest the appropriate
books
;
therefore
, individuals prefer regular visits to the
library
.
However
, in my opinion, there are a few areas where improvement is essential. Currently, it is observed that some youngsters talk loudly, which annoys people who prefer reading in a calm environment.
Furthermore
, the approach to providing the services is outdated. The
library
still uses typical methodologies,
such
as physical
books
, magazines, and newspapers, which do not appeal to the new generation at all. Fortunately, there are some measures that can help mitigate the above-mentioned issues. First of all, strict rules and regulations are required to provide a peaceful atmosphere for the readers, as it is of paramount importance to concentrate.
Moreover
, if the
library
can arrange some computers with pre-stored electronic versions of
books
, it will provide a unique user experience, which may attract young students who are not interested in reading at all. Thank you for considering my views, and I look forward to the successful implementation of them. Yours faithfully, Sohel Khan

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.
