hey everyone this is Dori I'm a teacher of
-
English and today I'm going to show you the strategy and the plan
-
you need to follow in order to write a letter
-
in IELTS General Task 1 okay
-
first of all let's take a task as an example okay let's read our task
-
okay this is your task
-
it is obviously a formal letter firstly you have to begin your letter
-
with Dear
-
if you don't know the person's name
-
you're writing to, then you will write
-
like here. After that
-
things are pretty simple you don't need to feel anxious or confused about this
-
task simply you will use
-
one-paragraph for each of these points
-
over here so one paragraph for this one
-
one second paragraph for this one and one
-
last paragraph for your third point
-
so let's read our first point
-
again. So in your first paragraph you will introduce yourself
-
and of course
-
you will state the reason of your writing this letter
-
okay? so, let's see...
-
As you can see you immediately state the reason of your writing this letter
-
Moving on...
-
And now you actually introduce yourself al right
-
as you can see you will have to make some things
-
up but it won't be difficult just use the information you're given
-
and your imagination. The important thing is your grammar
-
also notice that I didn't use contractions
-
I used I am writing instead of I' m
-
I am twenty three years old instead
-
of I' m again and I have studied
-
I have graduated instead of I've
-
studied- I' ve graduated ok also
-
since this is a formal letter please as a whole prefer
-
the passive voice for example which was
-
recently advertised okay now
-
accordingly you will write one paragraph for the second point let's read it
-
so you will
-
talk about your former experience and skills
-
and then your last paragraph is going to be about the third point
-
Lastly you're going to close your letter with this phrase
-
over here
-
please note that this is a standard expression
-
we learn it as is, so don't be confused by the fact that there is an -ing
-
here
-
after -to alright? this is how it goes I'm looking forward to hearing from
-
you
-
Yours faithfully and then your name and surname- your name and last name you
-
should put
-
both
-
please note that when you know the person's name that you're writing to,
-
it is not for example "Dear Sir/Madam" you know the name it is
-
let's just say Dear Mr. Jones, then you will
-
end your letter with yours sincerely
-
instead of yours faithfully and of course
-
your name but if you do not know the name
-
you will write as we've seen Dear Sir/Madam
-
and yours faithfully and your name both your name and your surname
-
okay that's it now you just need to improve your grammar
-
syntax vocabulary and please your spelling
-
if you want to read the rest of the letter you can do it here
