Dear Lilly, I hope
this
 letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I'm very excited that you decided to visit my
city
 but meanwhile, I am sad as I will not get a chance to meet you as I have already booked my ticket to visit my hometown. I am departing on the 25th of September from my house and you're coming on the 28th of the month. As you are a newcomer to the
city
 it will be hard to find a great place to live in. Why don't you live at my place? I will hand over my home keys to our common friend Ria who will pick you up from the airport and drop you at my place. The only thing that I am concerned about in the apartment is that in the heavy rainfalls, water comes into my room if I leave my balcony's door open so please make sure to lock that every time you use it. I would love to recommend to you some great places to explore in the
city
 which are near my house like Bass Lake Park you can visit there in your free time to have the best peaceful days of your life as the park is enriched with plants, trees, and flowers. I wish I could spend time with you. I am excited to have you in my
city
 and look forward to hearing from you. See you soon. Best Regards, Rav

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.
