GENERAL WRITING TASK 1:-

You have a problem with a neighbor.

Write a letter to your neighbor. In your letter

– Describe the problem

– Say how long it has been a problem

– Explain what action you want the neighbor to take

SAMPLE ANSWER:-

Dear Mr. Jackson,

I am writing to you to see what can be done about the large tree at the front of your house. The tree leans over my side of the fence which divides our properties. It is not just a nuisance but also a danger. It drops a large amount of debris on my roof and these leaves and twigs block the downpipes. During the last heavy rainfall my house leaked as a result. My worst fear is that in a storm the tree might fall down, dragging my house and possibly injuring my family.

The tree has been a problem for over ten years and I have talked to you about it before but the tree has now reached such a height that I urge you to take action immediately. I think you should have the tree removed. An alternative course of action would be to prune the tree to fence level, but I think it would die anyway if you did this.

I hope the problem can be resolved soon.

Yours sincerely,

Joel Baker
