Your local newspaper is offering an award for people who have helped the community. Write a letter to the newspaper editor. In your letter suggest someone you think should receive the award describe what the person does to help the community suggest an award that would be appropriate for this person

Dear Sir, I have seen the prize that your newspaper is fostering, so I want to postulate the karate class' teacher whose name is Oliver. First of all, he is a good example for all the students who attend his classes and surroundings who might see the way he behaves,
furthermore
, he is always willing to help parents understand their children's abilities and weaknesses to be addressed.
Besides
that, he looks after the infrastructure where the lessons have been taken reporting any issues in regards to the administration office when necessary,
hence
all the community can enjoy a good place to practice their preferred sport. Taking that into account, I would like you to consider giving him something,
for instance
, a symbolic recognition or it could be a public letter, that way all the other trainers can see how good behaviour can improve people's level of life, and how it can be rewarded. Kind regards.

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.
