IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You are planning a short visit to a city where one of your relatives lives. Write a letter to your relative. In your letter:
• Explain when and how long you will be in town.
• Ask whether you can stay at their home.
• Offer to pay for yourself.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Aunt Joan,
How are you? How’s Uncle Steve?
I’m writing because I’m planning to visit Melbourne next month. I’ve got school holidays coming up, and I thought it would be a good time to come over (and do some shopping!). I’ve booked a flight arriving on 15 May and leaving on the 25th, so I’ll be in town for eleven days altogether.
Would it be possible for me to stay with you? If it’s inconvenient I completely understand, but I’d really appreciate it. It would also give me a real chance to catch up with you guys, and with my cousins. Are they all still living at home?
Of course, I’d be happy to pay my own way and buy my own groceries etc. In fact, I could cook you all dinner! You’ll probably be surprised to hear it, but I’m a pretty good cook these days.
Anyway, if ifs a problem just let me know, and I can make other arrangements. Either way, looking forward to seeing everyone.
Love,
