You have just started a course in a college which has no sports facilities of its own. Write a letter to the manager of the nearest private sports club. In your letter Introduce yourself Say why you are interested in this club Ask some questions about the club e.g facilities, members, costs.
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Jacob, and I'm from the north. I started at
this
college last
week, and it's really comfy for studying because there are fantastic things to use during the semester. But my grandpa says it's like "one hand clapping." I saw something terrible that I can't
forget. Some guys don't
play football, and one of them doesn't
even know Messi, the court king. I don't
play football, but I'm the biggest basketball fan, and I have a pic with Michael Jordan.
In the morning, all motivated with tomato-red cheeks, I face the director's room, which feels hotter than drinking coffee in the Sahara. After a struggle, I convinced her to let me join the "Desert Bulls" club. This
is my self-introduction and the journey to an agreement.
Now, I have some questions for you. Firstly
, can your school
provide a wardrobe? In my last
school
, there was a thief who always stole deodorant and clothes from bags.
Secondly
, how much does it cost? My father says if your school
is $300 a month, he'll pay, but if it's more, forget it.
Thirdly
, how many LeBron James fans are here, and what unique moves do they know? In my last
school
, we had players who won the cup, and I had a big competition once.
If you could answer quickly, it would mean a lot. Your response could change my life. I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem.
Yours faithfully,

task achievement
Ensure all elements of the task are addressed in a clear and relevant manner. In the given letter, while the attempt to introduce yourself and query about the club is there, it lacks directness and clarity which is required in a formal letter.
task achievement
A formal letter should have a more appropriate tone and relevant content in line with the context of the task. Avoid overly casual language, jokes, and unrelated personal anecdotes.
coherence cohesion
Organize the letter into clear paragraphs, each with a single main idea. For example, one paragraph for introduction, another for explaining interest, and subsequent paragraphs addressing specific questions about the club.
coherence cohesion
Use cohesive devices appropriately to help the reader follow the points being made. Examples include 'Firstly', 'Secondly', 'In addition', etc.
coherence cohesion
Use a polite and formal closing that matches the level of formality in the rest of the letter.
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.
