IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1

You have a friend who lives in a city abroad. You have decided that you would like to apply to do a course at one of the colleges in the same city.

Write to your friend explaining what you would like to do. Tell him/her what type of work or studies you have been doing for the past few years and ask for assistance in contacting an appropriate institution.

Model Answer:

Dear Rahul,

I regret that I’ve not written to you for more than a year. I’ve been terribly busy over the last two years and I hardly had any time for myself.

You would be happy to hear that I’ve decided to complete my BSc in Computer Science from a reputed college/university in the UK and I hope you can give me some advice regarding this. I think I’d prefer a university in London because I’ve always dreamt to be there, and institutions in London has an excellent study environment and faculty members.

I’ve recently completed my “A level” exam and I have got “A” in five subjects including science, English, and maths. I’m wondering if you could help me select a suitable institution in London! I really don’t know which university or college to apply to, so I’m hoping you would send me some information about different colleges and universities. Also, do I have to take an English test? If so which one and what score do I need?

Stay fine and write back to me. I’m looking forward to your advice and assistance in finding a suitable college/university to get admitted. Many thanks in advance.

Warm wishes,
