IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You use the local swimming pool often, and during one of your visits, you encountered a problem. Write a letter to the manager. In your letter
– describe what the problem was
– tell what the swimming pool staff have done about it
– suggest your own solution to the problem.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Manager,
I am a regular user of your swimming pool and would like to bring a recent issue to your attention. During my last few visits, I noticed that the water in the pool has been unusually cold, making it uncomfortable to swim, especially during early morning sessions.
I spoke with one of the lifeguards, who informed me that the pool’s heating system has been malfunctioning for the past week. While I appreciate that the staff have put up signs to inform users, no clear timeline has been given for the repairs, which is quite inconvenient for regular members.
I suggest that a temporary schedule be posted to update swimmers on repair progress. Additionally, offering a partial refund or complimentary access once the issue is resolved would be a considerate gesture for affected members.
I hope this matter is addressed promptly.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
