IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You recently bought a washing machine from a local appliance store, but it stopped working after two days.
Write a letter to the store manager. In your letter:
– Explain what happened
– Describe your dissatisfaction
– Say what action you want them to take
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Store Manager,
I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a washing machine I purchased from your store on June 10th. Unfortunately, the appliance has stopped functioning just two days after installation, causing considerable inconvenience.
The model I bought is the LG Front Load Washing Machine, and it was delivered and installed on June 11th. It worked perfectly the first day; however, on the second day, it suddenly stopped in the middle of a wash cycle and has not powered on since. I have already checked the electrical supply and connections, and everything seems to be in order.
I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. As a trusted local appliance store, I expected a much higher standard of quality and reliability. Not only did the product fail, but I have also been left without a functioning washing machine, which disrupts my daily routine.
I kindly request that you either replace the defective unit immediately or arrange for a technician to inspect and repair it at the earliest convenience. I would appreciate it if this issue could be resolved within the next few days.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours sincerely,
