You have a spare room in your Apartment that you would like to rent out to a student. Write a letter to your Student Accommodation Officer of local college and say 1. Where is your apartment located? 2. When will the room be available 3. What are the requirements for a student to stay?

Dear officer I hope
this
letter
finds you well. I am Jane Park and I am writing
this
letter
in order to tell you about my flat. I have
one
vacant room in my apartment and I want to rent it to a college student. My apartment is located at 240 West Lane Road. Actually, I consider my house as a highly well-located flat in
this
city. It is located in the heart of the city near a river which provides fresh air and picturesque scenery.
In addition
, my flat is close to many amenities like a train or bus station.
Moreover
, As you know, we have
one
historical bridge at the centre of our city. It is unbelievable that
this
bridge is just a minute distance walk from my flat. I have refurbished my home recently and it does not have serious issues to solve.
However
. since I do not use that room very often, I think it needs a little change. The wall needs painting since the current colour is too dark for a student.
Furthermore
, I should do sweeping and dusting and
also
, I plan to buy some pots of plants to bring a little life to the home. I promise that the room will be ready completely by the end of September. Actually, I do not have enough time to research people and the reason why I am writing
this
letter
to you is mainly
this
point. I ask you to please check all documents , especially his passport and if it is possible, give me a copy of it.But
one
crucial point for me is reference letters. I need
one
letter
from
one
of the college lecturers about the student. I think that would be
one
reliable way. I am looking forward to your response. I hope you find a suitable person for my apartment. I write my number and full address for you. I am always available to contact you except for Saturdays. With the best regards J

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.
