GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You are travelling and need someone to do you a favour while you are gone. Write a letter asking a neighbour or friend for help. In your letter include:
– where you are going
– what the favour is
– why you need this friend to help
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to see if I could ask a favour. Please allow me to elaborate on my situation.
You see, my wife and I are planning to travel next week and have just found out we won’t be able to bring our dog, Tiger, with us. Although we were expecting to take him along, arranging his shots and airfare has turned out to be way more expensive than we were anticipating. The trip is a surprise gift from my wife’s father, and we only received news of it yesterday. Thus, we did not have the time we needed to arrange proper accommodation for Tiger.
I was hoping you wouldn’t mind putting Tiger up for 3 nights at your place. I know I am not giving you much notice, but the whole situation has really taken us by surprise. I would be so grateful if you could help my wife and I out with this problem.
Thanking you kindly
Simohgu
