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 mulfunctioning
alarm system. Correct your spelling
malfunctioning
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

task response
To improve the task response score, ensure that each part of the task is fully addressed with sufficient detail. Consider expanding on how the car causes inconvenience beyond the traffic jams and the malfunctioning alarm to include any safety or legal concerns this may pose to the community.
coherence and cohesion
To enhance your score for coherence and cohesion, work on the smoothness of transitions between paragraphs. Adding phrases that more clearly indicate the connection between your points could strengthen the overall flow of your letter.
tone
Maintaining a polite and formal tone throughout the letter is crucial. Using phrases like 'insane consistent noise' might come across as less formal. Aim for a full formal tone by choosing your adjectives carefully and avoiding casual language.
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.
