IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

The student representative body at the university or college which you attend offers an advisory service to help students with their problems. As a member of the advisory committee, you have received a letter from a foreign student who is concerned about various problems related to studying abroad. Write a reply, offering practical advice and reassuring them that they do not need to worry.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear ……………….. ,

I am writing on behalf of the Students’ Advisory Service in reply to your letter of 13 May, and would like to congratulate you on obtaining a place at Shelbourne University. I understand that you are nervous about moving to a foreign country, and I hope that following advice will be of some help to you.

You mentioned that you are afraid of being lonely and unable to make friends when you get to university. Firstly, I would suggest that you try to meet as many people as possible during the first few days, as this is when many friendships are formed. I would also recommend joining some clubs and societies as a way of meeting people with the same interests as yours.

Let me reassure you that, if you follow this advice, you will not feel lonely. When you arrive, you will realise that everyone is in the same situation and that your fellow students will be more than willing to make friends.

In your letter, you also refer to your worries about coping with the work. I would advise to make sure that you always do each piece of work immediately after it is assigned so that you do not fall behind. Additionally, if you find that you need help, the best course of action would be to speak to your tutor. Most important of all,

I strongly recommend that you organise your timetable carefully so that you can combine work and recreation.

I would like to wish you good luck with your course. Please do not hesitate to contact me again should you have any further questions.

Yours sincerely,
