IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

Recently your employer offered some employees to do some work directly from home. Write a letter to your manger requesting the same arrangement. You should say

– Why do you want to work from home?

– Why would it be beneficial for the company and yourself?

– Suggest a suitable arrangement for you to work from home.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Sir,

I am BDG, senior web developer in your company. I have been working for the last five years. I came to know that you are offering the opportunity of telecommuting to some employees. I am writing this letter to request you to allow me also at least two days of telecommuting per week.

As I work in the IT sector, much of my work is online, which can be done from home. Actually, my house is about 15 miles from our office, but there is a new flyover being constructed, because of which I have to take the longer route. It takes me two hours to reach office. This construction is going to take another 6 months. I am not being able to cope up with 4 hours of commuting everyday. It is eating away my family time, and so there is a lot of stress at home.

If I am allowed to work from home, I assure you that no work will suffer and it will be good for the company also. I can work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I will be connected to my other colleagues and can even do video conferencing with them.

Hoping for a kind consideration of my humble request.

Yours faithfully,
