You were doing a short course at another country. All of a sudden, you had to leave the course and fly back to your home country. Write a letter to your teacher, and in your letter – express your gratitude – explain why you had to leave – explain what part of the course you enjoyed the most
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I am a student of the Web Development
course
at Conestoga College, Doon. Unfortunately, due to
a personal reason, I have to leave the course
and urgently fly back to my home country India.
I am very thankful to you for being my mentor. You have not only guided me in my studies but also
helped me personally. I feel lucky to have you as my teacher.
Sadly, I had to leave without giving any prior notice because I received a call from my father that my grandmother had been admitted to the hospital in an emergency ward. Since my childhood, she was always with me at all times and now it is my turn to be with her and take care of her.
Also
, I want to let you know that I really enjoy your class. I liked the way when you used to give simple real-life examples for better understanding. Moreover
, I really enjoyed the In-Class quizzes during our course
as they not only helped me remember but also
made the class enjoyable.
I hope you will understand my situation and reason for dropping off
the Change preposition
out of
course
.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours Faithfully,

- 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.
