IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You work for an international company, and would like to spend six months working in its head office in another country. Write a letter to your manager.
In your letter:
– explain why you want to work in the company’s head office for six months
– say how your work could be done while you are away
– ask for his/her help in arranging it
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mr George,
I am writing to express my interest in working at our company headquarters in the United Kingdom for a few months to further enhance my skills and get exposure to the global market trends of our products so that I can better contribute to my company and carry out my responsibilities more efficiently.
As you know, I have been recently promoted to the assistant product manager post and I am working hard to collaborate with my team to enhance the sales and increase our brand reputation. However, I have been feeling the need to meet and work with our global team members and attend some training sessions that our head office in London arranges frequently. I am quite positive that the opportunity to work in our company’s head office for six months will further enhance my knowledge, and give me fabulous exposure to the global market trend.
I have talked to Julian and he has agreed to take up my responsibilities during my absence. Furthermore, I will check my emails daily, and be available for emergency phone calls. Once I get back to the office, I would endeavour to work extra hours in order to catch up on anything I had missed.
Finally, I would need your support to get approval so that I can work in our company’s head office for six months and fulfil the objectives.
I look forward to your positive reply.
Yours sincerely,
Charles Hugo
