BEST IELTS Letter Writing, 12th November
IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
The course director of your previous college has invited you to attend a party for new students, and he has also asked you to give a talk about studying overseas. You have an important examination on the same day so you cannot attend the party.
Write a letter to the director to apologize and to explain why you cannot attend the event. Suggest another date when you could give your talk.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mr. F,
Thank you for your kind invitation to attend the party for new students on the 29th of January. Thank you also for thinking of me to give a talk. However, unfortunately I am unable to attend the party.
I am afraid that on the following day, I have my first semester economics exam. This is a complicated subject and a good mark is essential for me, so I have to spend the day before studying. I asked my lecturer if it would be possible to take the examination on another date, but this is not permitted.
However, I would be very happy to give the talk on another day. I am available on the 5th and the 6th of February. If one of those dates is convenient for you, please let me know. I can be contacted at the address above or fax or telephone.
I hope that everyone at the college is well, and I hope that your party is a great success. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
