You recently attended a series of English lessons in a language school. However, you were unhappy with the teaching quality. Write a letter to the director of the school. In your letter: • explain why you chose to study English at the school • describe the problems you had with the lessons • suggest how the classes could be improved

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the quality of instruction I am currently receiving at your institution. Unfortunately, I feel that the tuition fees I have paid are not justified by the standard of education provided. I enrolled in your English coaching program with the goal of achieving my desired IELTS band score. With my exam scheduled for next month, I was hoping to gain more confidence and strengthen my language skills through effective practice.
However

Furthermore

effectiveness of the class. I would like to offer a few suggestions for your consideration:
Firstly

Secondly

prepare effectively.
Lastly

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.
