IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

You have received a letter from your university of Albion demanding a reason for your absence from an exam. You were ill that day, but failed to submit the evidence. Write a letter to the Examinations Committee explaining your situation. You should include:

– Apologies for the situation

– Identification for yourself (Name, Student Number, Case Number)

– An explanation of what had happened and any possible evidence you may have

– Possible resolutions to consider.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to apologize for my failure to submit the doctor’s letter for being absent on the exam day.

My name is Rishi and I am a graduate student in the field of mechanical engineering at University of Albion. My student ID is 123456 and I am responding to the case number ABC123.

I was diagnosed with coronavirus flu the day before the mathematics exam. It took me the whole of the last week to recover and come back to my senses. As a result, I could not submit the explanation letter within the university timeline; however, I am sending the doctor’s certificate now to prove my condition.

I am hoping you would be able to offer me a make-up exam. I am also willing to write additional assignments if reappearing for the exam is not an option anymore.

Again, I apologize for being late in submitting the medical explanation behind my missing the exam and look forward to hearing from you soon about the next steps.

Yours faithfully,
