IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You took leave of two weeks for holidays. During holidays, you and your family decided to stay longer. Write a letter to your boss for a leave extension.
In your letter
– Explain the reason for the leave and length of leave you need
– Explain how you will make up for the lost time
– Explain how you would feel if the leave is granted
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mr. H,
Greetings from Australia! I hope you must be doing well. Right now, I am enjoying my holidays at the pristine beaches of Gold Coast. Chief, I hate to request the leave extension for another week but I am helpless.
My tour was originally designed for ten days with my family. As I had been unable to take my family out for holidays in last two years, they started emotionally blackmailing me on this tour. My little HUY feels those ten days in Australia can never be enough to enjoy. I have no option but to surrender to their emotional blackmailing. I tried to reason with them but all in vain. Therefore, I need a special consideration from you in the form of your authorization of extending my leave for another week. I understand our team is under immense pressure of pending jobs but I can assure that I would make up for the lost time once I am back.
I hope you would understand my situation. I personally believe that extended holidays will also make me work with energies renewed and interest keener than ever.
I solicit your co-operation.
Yours sincerely,
IELTS Writing Task 1 General
