IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You have recently noticed that your work computer is getting too slow and out-of-date. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter
– explain the problems with your computer
– give some examples of how this has affected your work
– make some suggestions for what can be done to help address this issue
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear [Manager’s Name],
I hope you are well. I am writing to bring to your attention an ongoing issue with my work computer, which has become increasingly slow and outdated.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced frequent delays when opening programs or switching between tasks. The system often freezes, especially when running essential software like Excel or our internal project management tools. This not only disrupts my workflow but also affects my ability to meet deadlines efficiently.
For instance, preparing last week’s client report took nearly twice the usual time due to repeated system crashes. Additionally, video meetings are often affected by lag, making it hard to participate effectively.
I believe upgrading the hardware or replacing the computer with a more modern system would significantly improve productivity. I would be happy to discuss suitable options if needed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Kind regards,
[Your Name]
