IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You bought a piece of furniture from a store in another town recently. There is a problem with the item you purchased. Write a letter to the store manager.
In your letter
– explain the details of your purchase
– describe the problem that you have with it
– suggest what can be done about it
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Store Manager,
I’m writing this letter to you in connection with the sofa I purchased from your store a week back.
I purchased a wooden sofa from your store on the 7th of July. This is a custom-made product which is of dark golden colour. I paid 127.62 CAD for the item and I have attached a copy of the receipt for your attention.
The legs of the sofa are a bit shakey and the paint is peeling off on its own. Also, when we try to sit as a family it often moves against the wall which frightens us that it might break if we lean on it hard.
It would be of great help if you could change the legs and tighten to screws so it does not shake when we try to use it. Additionally, it can be repainted so the paint does not peel off again.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Akila
