Ielts General Training Letter Semi Formal Your internet connection has been slow and intermittent

 

Your internet connection has been slow and intermittent. Write a letter to your internet service provider to complain. In the letter:

–       Describe the problem and why you are unhappy

–       Arrange for an engineer to visit your home

–       Request a reduction in your bill

 

Dear Customer Care Manager,

It has been a dismaying experience using your internet services, and even after paying out of my nose for a 50mbps plan, I barely get a  partly 4mbps speed, making me lead a life in the stone age of the internet. To make the matters worse, your customer care people have failed to respond to all my calls for a reprieve, causing a great inconvenience and harming my work.

 

It has been over a month since I have been reporting this problem to your concerned department. Initially they seemed to pay a heed, but now they have stopped responding. This, nevertheless, is not only making me feel frustrated since I am using this connection to carry out official work but also a little dejected as I am forced to use alternative arrangements. 

 

Thus, you must arrange an immediate visit of an engineer probably by tomorrow afternoon, and I do believe I deserve a waiver of the previous bill. 

 

I presume that this issue will be resolved quickly.

 

Thanking you

Yours sincerely,

You borrowed some books from your school or college library. Unfortunately you have to go away to visit a sick relative and cannot return the books in time.

Write a letter to the library. Explain what has happened and tell them what you want to do about it.

Dear Sir,

 

I apologise for the delay since I borrowed a few science books before exams to prepare for the same; however, I could not return them before the due date owing to the mishap happened at my house for which I had to leave for my hometown immediately after the examination, and did not get adequate time to visit the library. 

 

My grandfather suffered a severe chest pain; and unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with cancer owing to which he has to undergo an operation within this week. I have to stay with him during his entire convalescing period since he has nobody by his side to look after him. 

 

I have no idea when would I return; therefore, I am sending those books through courier service to avoid the accumulation of penalties. I would be grateful if you could apprise me of the amount I owe to the library for keeping books more than the permitted time so that I could pay the fine via online mode. 

 

Hoping for kind consideration.

 

Thanking you

You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport.

You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport.

Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter

• explain where you live

•  describe the problem

•  give reasons why you do not want this development.

Dear Sir,

I, Adrian Keith, a resident of Gustave Delory for over four years. This area is in the vicinity of Charles de Gaul airport. The inhabitants are concerned with the news of the planned expansion of the airport.

This extension would augment traffic volume, which will create a nuisance for the residents of the society. Moreover, this change would result in the shrinking of a long stretch of green cover, thereby giving rise to several environmental problems.

A large chunk of people belongs to the age group more than sixty who have migrated here from the nearby cities after their retirement in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle that is  free from all sorts of pollution. But, a bigger airport that will eat up most vacant areas will kill this objective since the noise and air pollution accompanied by this development will heighten the possibility of numerous health hazards.

I would request the authority to kindly consider the matter on an urgent basis and render the residents a relief.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

Adrian Keith

Dear Sir,

Thank you for believing in me and rendering me a great opportunity to serve as a Manager in the head office of your esteemed company. I had prepared to embark on this journey from the next week until the mishap happened at my home last night.

My uncle suffered a severe chest pain yesterday at midnight; and unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with cancer owing to which he has to undergo an operation within this week. I have to stay with him during his entire convalescing period since he has nobody by his side to look after him. Moreover, I have been struggling to get accommodation in the proximity of the office, which I would manage to find during this time.

I think I would be able to commence the job after 15 days; however, I can start my work after a week through telecommuting, and I assure you that my performance will not disappoint your expectations.

Hoping for kind consideration. I look forward to receiving your response.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

- Why are you taking a holiday?

- What is your holiday plan?

- Why would you like him/her to come?

Dear Réne,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and best of spirits. I was wondering if we could brew up some exciting plans for our upcoming holidays. As Christmas is approaching, this would probably be the best time to plan an excursion.

You’ll be thrilled to find out that I’ve got a fantastic deal which is in our budget. It’s a holiday package of four nights to Bali. I know you always wanted to explore this place. On the last day of this trip, the hotel will be organising a concert in which your favourite pop singer is performing.

It’s been so long since we last were together. Due to our hectic schedules, we don't get time to spend with each other. This vacation would give us a break from our monotonous life and to make more memories to cherish for our lifetime. I simply won’t take no for an answer.

Do let me know your availability so that I could reserve the package.

Eagerly waiting to see you.

Your friend

Dear Ryan,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. You would be delighted to know that I have embarked on my professional life by starting a venture which deals in clothing for dogs, our beautiful little companions, and I want you to design an attractive website for my venture.  

I am thinking of putting my business online to gain more popularity and expand my start-up, for which I will need a professional looking portal, but without a cash payment gateway. Since you are a professional web designer, who else could design my website better.  

I would like to render some ideas to make it attractive; try to add pictures of disparate breeds of dogs along with the fashion accessories being carried by them. I am sure it would be the most tempting portal in this domain. Please let me know how long it will take to accomplish this task.

I am eagerly waiting for your response so that we can sit and discuss the design in detail.

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. Thank you for imparting profound knowledge of English during my childhood, owing to which I am capable of enlightening others. My friend is a French national, who has asked me to teach English to her daughter, Mathilde, who is six years old. I believe this is the perfect age to commence learning a new language. However,  I need your help with this.

 

I am planning to follow your footsteps by interactively teaching and by introducing numerous games so that it becomes a fun activity. Moreover, since technology makes everything interesting, I have decided to include audio and visual components to disseminate knowledge.

 

I still remember those pretty looking books which had images, helped me intensively to imbibe the most challenging aspect of the language, the grammar. Furthermore, the books consist of cue cards for building up the vocabulary which you rendered me. I would be grateful if you could lend me those books for three months.

 

Hoping for a positive response.

 

Thank you.

 

Yours sincerely,

– Tell him/her where you live in the new country

– Describe how you feel

– Explain what you are doing at work

– Invite him/her for a visit.

 

Dear Anna,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. You’ll be glad to know that I moved to Lille, France last week. I must say this city looks exquisite. I live in the outskirts, and my office is 500 m away. What I love the most about this place is that everyone greets one another with a contagious smile, which makes my day. What’s more, the inhabitants are cautious about their actions, like not littering on the roads, dumping garbage in the bins so that they could contribute towards the environment.

My job is far less demanding as compared to the previous one. My main responsibilities as a marketing analyst include market research, looking for new leads and preparation of proposals. The office atmosphere is quite convivial.

Since Christmas is approaching, I’d like to invite you here. If you could make it, trust me; this’ll be your best vacation. As you know, France is well known for its celebrations during Christmas and New year.

I can’t wait to see you.

Your friend,

There are insufficient sport facilities in your hometown for people your age. Write a letter to the local council.

There are insufficient sport facilities in your hometown for people your age. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter

– Tell them where you live

– Describe the problem

– Explain what you would like them to do about it

 

Dear Sir,

 

I, Adrian Keith, a resident of Gustave Delory for over four years, would like to draw your attention towards the problems that inhabitants of this area are facing due to inadequate sports facilities.

People of my age have very hectic schedules that exhausts them, which makes them desire spending some leisure time by playing outdoor games, but unfortunately, we cannot do it, due to unavailability of appropriate facilities. There is one ground inside the government school where children  use for playing, but it is closed when people return from their work.

I would request you to render the residents a sports complex, by converting the space outside the post office which was allocated to a park since we already have one. It would be of great benefit for children, as well as for the elderly. It will give us all a break from our monotonous life, and we will be able to keep us healthy and active as well.

 I look forward to receiving a prompt resolution on this issue.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

Adrian Keith

Dear Karen,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. Thank you so much for inviting me to your farewell party. It’s really a generous offer to put me up at your place. I would really like to come but unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it due to some urgent family commitments.

By being your colleague, I got a chance to learn several things from you. Your dedication and passion towards work used to boost our spirits and keep us motivated to perform likewise. I really appreciate your quality of helping others whenever they are in need no matter whether it is personal or professional. You used to lighten up every conversation because of your good sense of humour. We are going to miss you a lot.

I was wondering if you could make it after a week, I would like to invite you for lunch at my home. It would be delightful to have you here. Please do let me know I will plan it accordingly.

All the best for your future endeavours. Hope to see you soon.

Your friend,

I would like to apprise you that I left my backpack at the hotel since I was in a hurry while checking out of the room.

I remember keeping it inside the closet. It is a brown leather bag of brand name Hidesign written on its left side at the bottom. Inside one of its pockets, there are my business cards and it has some confidential documents which I required in my next meeting. Also, in the front pocket, there is a wooden key chain of my name engraved on it.

I would appreciate it if you could find it and send it back to my address at the earliest. I will reimburse for the courier charges. Please let me know how I can pay for it.

I look forward to receiving your response.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

The system used for rubbish/garbage collection in your local area is not working properly. This is causing problems for you and your neighbours.

- describe how the rubbish collection system is not working properly

- explain how this is affecting you and your neighbours

- suggest what should be done about the problem

Dear Sir,

I, Adrian Keith, have been a resident of Gustave Delory for over four years would like to draw your attention towards the spiralling problems of garbage collection. The collectors have been on strike for four days; protesting for a hike in their salaries. This is the second time in the same month that we are facing this difficulty, and paying the price of tussle between them and the authorities.  

The piles of rubbish are accumulating incessantly at home, as well as on streets owing to which breeding of flies, mosquitoes and other insects has started in the area. It can ultimately give birth to a plethora of diseases. The foul smell has disseminated in the streets, contaminating the air, thereby, making it difficult for us to go out and breath in.

I would  request you to kindly consider the matter on an urgent basis and relieve the residents of this torment as soon as possible. 

I hope that you will take corrective actions to resolve this issue.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

Adrian Keith

You recently organised an all-day meeting for your company, which took place in a local hotel. In their feedback, participants at the meeting said that they liked the hotel, but they were unhappy about the food that was served for lunch. Write a letter to the manager of the hotel. In your letter

- say what the participants liked about the hotel

- explain why they were unhappy about the food

- suggest what the manager should do to improve the food in future

Dear Sir/Madam,

It was a wonderful experience of organising a meeting at your hotel last week. I thank you for hosting us in such a pleasant way. As a part of the company policy, a questionnaire was issued to all the participants for the feedback after the rendezvous. People have given an outstanding rating for the ambience of the place. However, the food failed to appeal to them in the same way.

The individuals were highly disappointed with the appetizers since staff served them cold. The lunch was lacking a balance of spices and was quite spicy despite the strict instruction given against it. Moreover, the salad served in the lunch was not fresh.

I would appreciate it if you could serve freshly prepared and pre-heated food. I would recommend adding more dishes to à la carte to render diversity.  Furthermore, I would suggest preparing food by checking the dietary restrictions of the guests thoroughly/meticulously. 

I believe I deserve to receive a discount to compensate for appalling experience with food.  

Thank you

Yours Sincerely,

Jean Jacob

Dear Anna,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health. I remember in the last email you mentioned that you are looking for a job in India. I’m delighted to tell you that I have found an opening for a marketing analyst, which I believe is well-suited for you.

I find this profile very appropriate for you because you have a relevant experience of three years in this domain. Now you’ve got a chance to flaunt your French language skills since it’s a French enterprise, so you have a higher probability to get through this opportunity. Moreover, your overseas experience of one year would serve an additional benefit to you.

The main responsibilities in the post include market research, looking for new leads and preparation of proposals. It is extremely convenient to apply for the job. You have to create an account on the website of the company  after that it will hardly take fifteen minutes to fill all the credentials. 

Eagerly waiting to see you here.

Dear Anna,

 

It’s been long since we last talked. You’ll be glad to know that I have got a promotion recently. To celebrate this triumph, I am organising a party on this new year eve for my office co-workers. Everything seems well arranged, except the food,  one of my colleagues happens to be from your country,and to surprise him, I have decided to cook pasta and Margherita pizza, for which you must help me with the recipe. 

 

This colleague of mine has been homesick since last month. So, I have decided to make Italian cuisine to make him feel content. But, you know how bad my culinary skills are, so I want you to guide me throughout the cooking process on a video call. However, you must share the list of ingredients and the recipe with me.   

 

I can assure you that with your guidance, I’ll cook the best pizza, and also share pictures of it along with video recorded comments of guests.  

  

I can’t wait to hear from you.

 

Your Friend,
