IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
A colleague you’ve known for a long time is leaving for a new job but you can’t attend their leaving party. Write a letter:
– apologise and explain why you can’t attend
– say how you felt about working with them
– suggest how to keep in touch.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear John,
So sorry to hear that you’re leaving us! Great news about the new job though – you totally deserved to get it after all the hard work you’ve put in since the day you started.
I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed working with you. I don’t know how I’d have survived my first few weeks if it hadn’t been for your patience. I really appreciate your support – you’ve always been there for me whenever I needed help.
It’s a real shame that I can’t make it to your leaving-do next week. I booked the week off a while ago, so I’m taking the kids to Paris to see the sights.
I really hope we can stay in touch though. You know where to find me if you fancy a drink some time when you’ve settled in – maybe we could meet up for my birthday next month?
Wishing you all the best in your exciting new career.
You’ll be very much missed in the office (especially your tea-making skills!)
All the best
