IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
Your office has recently changed its break-time policy, and it’s causing inconvenience to many employees.
Write a letter to your supervisor. In your letter:
– Describe the current break policy.
– Explain the problems it is causing.
– Suggest a better alternative.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Mr. Thompson,
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent change in our office break-time policy, which has reduced the lunch break from one hour to just 30 minutes.
While I understand the intention to increase productivity, the shortened break has caused considerable inconvenience. Many employees now struggle to finish their meals on time, especially those who bring food from home and need to reheat it. Additionally, the reduced rest period leads to fatigue in the afternoon, affecting overall concentration and work quality.
I would like to suggest reinstating the original one-hour lunch break or, alternatively, allowing employees to choose between one 60-minute break or two shorter 30-minute breaks during the day. This flexibility could improve morale and maintain efficiency.
Thank you for considering this feedback. I hope we can find a solution that supports both productivity and employee well-being.
Yours sincerely,
Emily Parker
