IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You have noticed that the large public clock in your town square has not been working for several weeks.
Write a letter to the local council. In your letter:
– Explain the importance of the clock in your town
– Describe how people are affected by it not working
– Suggest how the issue could be resolved
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to bring to your attention that the large public clock in our town square has not been working for several weeks now. This clock is an important landmark in our community and plays a vital role in helping residents and visitors keep track of the time, especially those who do not carry watches or smartphones.
Since the clock stopped working, many people have found it difficult to manage their schedules effectively. For example, elderly residents and local shopkeepers rely on it to open and close their businesses on time. Tourists also use the clock as a meeting point, so its current state causes confusion.
I kindly suggest that the council arranges for a professional technician to repair the clock as soon as possible. Additionally, regular maintenance checks could prevent similar problems in the future.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
