An old car was left on the street near your street several weeks ago. The car is now causing a problem for residents. Write a letter to the Council. In your letter: - Describe the car; - Outline the problems it is causing; -Tell the Council what you want them to do about it. Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Councilor,
Dear Councilor,
My name is Alex and I am the one who lives in the area that you maintain. The reason for my letter to you is that someone parked a car in the middle of a road in our neighbourhood a few weeks ago. As an outcome,
this
situation creates lots of uncomfortable issues for the local people.
As for this
vehicle, it was positioned improperly and, as a result
, this
triggered constant traffic jams. Therefore
, instead
of a straight road to work we, as habitants, must always take other paths and that takes an extra 50 minutes per day.
Moreover
, the car is with a malfunctioning alarm system. Consequently
, it makes insane consistent noise and irritates locals at night. The owner did not leave any contact information, thus
there is no way how we can disable it and save our nervous system.
As a person with huge power and influence, I believe, it might be possible for you and your team to move that means of transportation out of the way, or to tow it somewhere from here.
It would be amazing if you could assist us.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
AlexSubmitted by alexey.denisiuk on

Coherence and Cohesion
- Ensure that your letter presents a clear and logical structure. It is crucial that each paragraph deals with a separate point or aspect of the letter. You're doing well, but refining this further can lead to higher coherence and cohesion scores.
Coherence and Cohesion
- For even better coherence, make sure transitions between paragraphs and ideas are smooth and clear. Use linking words and phrases to guide the reader through your argument or narrative more effectively.
Task Achievement
Make sure to fully address all parts of the task. Your letter does a good job at this by describing the car, outlining the problems it creates, and clearly stating what action you want the Council to take. To further improve, consider providing more specific examples or details about each point.
Task Achievement
Maintain an appropriate and consistent tone throughout your letter. Your letter successfully demonstrates this, using formal language and polite requests which is suitable for a letter to the council. For improvement, continue to fine-tune your tone, ensuring it is respectful yet assertive.
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.
