A large company in your area has decided to spend a certain amount of money , either to sponsor a local children's sport team for 2 years or to pay for to open-air concerts. It has asked for feedback from the general public. Write a letter to the company. In your letter • describe the benefits of sponsoring the sports team • summarize the benefits of paying for the concerts • say how you think the company should spend the money

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my thoughts and opinions. In our
area
, a large and prestigious company has indicated that it wants to provide
money
for 2 years from its own account for a
sports
fund
or an open-air
concert
. They said that they will consider the opinions of
people
in the
area
for the allocation of
this
money
. Among others, I am expressing my opinion. First of all, if I say the
sports
fund
; if
money
is allocated for
sports
, not only young children and teenagers, but
also
older
people
in the region will play
sports
.
In addition
, they are freed from health problems and become much healthier. If young
people
practice
sports
well, they can reach the world championship. It is not bad if they allocate
money
for
concerts
. Because there are few
concerts
in our
area
.
This
is because the
money
is not allocated only for
concerts
. There are advantages to paying for a
concert
.
For example
, since there are few
concerts
in our
area
, many
people
are more inclined to only TV or telephone. When outdoor
concerts
are held,
people
know that there are great things in real life. In the evening, after watching the
concert
, everyone goes on family trips. I think it will be better if the company allocates
money
for the
sports
fund
. Because they go to the
concert
for 1 day or at most 5 days, and the rest of the day will not have time for everyone. But if
money
is allocated to the
sports
fund
, teenagers can always do something and achieve some
result
Fix the agreement mistake
results
show examples
. Yours faithfully, Qobiljonova Kamola

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
