You have been invited to attend an interview for a place studying a course in a college.Unfortunately because of a previous appointment you cannot come at the time they wish. Write a letter to the admissions tutor and explain your position. Apologise and offer to come on another day or later the same day. Ask also how long the interview will be and whether there will be any tests during it.

Dear Sir, I hope you are doing well, and I really appreciate that you have invited me to attend an
interview
. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it because of the conflict with my previously booked appointment. I have already booked my dentist's appointment on the day of the
interview
, and even if I want to reschedule that, I have to let them know at least a week before. So, it's already too late to take that action. Is it possible for you to readjust my
interview
on 29th January or after 2 pm on the same day?
In addition
, I would
also
like to know a few details about the
interview
. Can you please let me know how long the
interview
will be, and
also
, will there be any tests during that? So I can prepare myself
accordingly
. Once again, I really apologize for any inconvenience you may face because of me. I will definitely make sure that there will not be any conflict for the upcoming
interview
. Yours Sincerely, Dhruvilkumar Patel

Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph sticks to a single idea or theme. The current letter slightly muddles information about rescheduling and queries about the interview process.
Coherence & Cohesion
Consider rephrasing to provide a concise and more formal tone, particularly when explaining the reason for the scheduling conflict and when asking about the interview details.
Task Achievement
Demonstrate a full understanding of the task by directly addressing all the points mentioned in the prompt. Ensure any requests for rescheduling and additional information are clear and polite.
Task Achievement
While your writing tone is generally suitable, refining the formal language and reducing repetition would enhance the professional quality of the letter.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional

  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
