Write a letter to your neighbour requesting that something be done about your dog. Include in your letter: - Your reason for writing - What would you like to happen
Dear Mr Johnson,
I am writing regarding your dog
that is
barking every time you leave the house.
Working remotely, I require a quiet environment. However
, due to
the loud noises your dog makes it is nearly impossible for me to concentrate on my daily tasks. Especially during online meetings, both my co-workers and I struggle to hear due to
the noise. Consequently
, your dog’s behaviour has a significant negative impact on my working performance.
Additionally
, there have been several cases when your pet howled at night, causing inconvenience for my family.
Therefore
, I kindly request you to take measures to keep your Labrador quiet. First,
consider enrolling your pet in specialised training programs. As far as I am concerned, it is one of the most efficient measures to improve dog’s
behaviour. Correct article usage
a dog’s
Secondly
, I would like to ask you to close windows before leaving, so that the noise from your pet is not heard all around the neighbourhood.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this
matter.
Yours faithfully,
Helen TenSubmitted by fednastya000 on

Coherence Cohesion
Ensure that the greeting and closing of your letter are appropriate to the formality of the situation. While 'Dear Mr Johnson,' is suitable, 'Yours faithfully' is typically reserved for when you do not know the name of the person you are writing to. 'Yours sincerely' would be the correct closing if you know your neighbour's name.
Task Achievement
The task response was excellent, with a clear reason for writing and specific requests made. To further enhance the letter, consider offering some potential solutions or assistance to show goodwill, such as suggesting a joint visit to a dog trainer or offering to share contacts for a trainer.
Coherence Cohesion
Your paragraphs are well-structured, each focusing on a single idea. You could improve your letter by ensuring smooth transitions between paragraphs, possibly by adding linking words or phrases to bridge the gap between your work situation and the disturbance during your personal time at night.
Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately
Linking words are very important in your essay.
To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.
Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.
Linking word examples:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- in additional
- moreover
- also
- for example
- for instance
- therefore
- however
- although
- even though
- despite
