The letter itself will always serve a specific purpose; this purpose, as well as the three main details you should touch on, will always be outlined in the task instructions. The task itself is relatively short: 20 minutes long, and you can write as little as 150 words. The situations in each prompt will either be personal and informal, or business-oriented and formal. In this article, we&#8217;re going to look at a <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/example-letters-for-ielts-general-training-test-writing-task-1\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sample formal prompt and letter<\/a>. Get ready to put on your business thinking as you write your own response and then check out our model answer!<\/p>\n<h2>Formal Letter Prompt and Model Letter<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>The Prompt<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"mox\">\nYou recently read about a volunteer opportunity overseas. Write a letter to ask about applying. In your letter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>discuss what you know about the programme<\/li>\n<li>explain why you are interested in the opportunity<\/li>\n<li>describe what skills you would bring to the position<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. <\/p>\n<p>Begin your letter as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Dear ___________,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Model of a Formal Letter<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Word count:<\/strong> 171<\/p>\n<div class=\"mox\">\nDear Sir\/Madam:<\/p>\n<p>I am writing this letter with regard to the volunteer opportunity for doctors I saw advertised in the Daily Mail. <\/p>\n<p>As described in the advertisement, the position you are seeking to fill is for a doctor with a desire to travel to Africa for six months of the year. I understand that the position would not require treating unusual diseases, but instead would primarily focus on general preventative measures and practices. <\/p>\n<p>This appeals to me on several levels. I find the medical work here fascinating, and I have always loved to travel. In the past, I have gone to various East African countries, but I very much look forward to visiting other parts of the continent. <\/p>\n<p>My experience and skills make me an excellent fit for this position. As a general practitioner with experience treating everyday ailments, I believe I am well qualified to assist your organization&#8217;s patients. Furthermore, my own patients have often commented positively on my manner. Finally, my superiors have frequently noted by ability to adapt well to new situations.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time and consideration. <\/p>\n<p>Yours faithfully,<br \/>\nRachel Dale\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Explanation and Band Score<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at a band score, with explanation.

(The writer discusses what they know about the programme, explains why they&#8217;re interested in the opportunity, and describes their skills.)<\/li>\n<li>Each paragraph has its own clear theme and focus.<\/li>\n<li>There are good transition words and phrases (EX: as described, furthermore, in the past)<\/li>\n<li>There is an appropriate and consistent formal tone, with polite, business-oriented language (the use of formal titles, the avoidance of contractions, etc&#8230;)\n<li>There is variety in word choice, with different words used to say similar things (EX: this appeals to me\/I look forward to, good fit\/well qualified)<\/li>\n<li>Sentence structure and length is varied, and all sentences are written clearly and feel natural.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Final Thoughts on IELTS General Training (GT) Formal Letters<\/h2>\n<p>In some ways, formal letters are more challenging than other types of IELTS GT letters. After all, you have to use language that is careful and a little more elaborate. In some ways, however, formal letters are easier: the language rules are more clear. In contrast, for less formal letter writing, you don&#8217;t need to be as careful to follow an exact set of rules, but you also don&#8217;t get as much close guidance on how to write. With that in mind, even with formal letters, there can be a gray area: sometimes a formal situation calls for a mix of formal and semi-formal language. Fortunately, Magoosh offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/general-training-task-1-formal-vs-semi-formal-letters\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">great guide on formal vs. semiformal<\/a> tone in General Training letters. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, Magoosh has you covered for any kind of letter. We have <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/example-letters-for-ielts-general-training-test-writing-task-1\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more prompts and example letters<\/a> to help you prepare for the IELTS GT letter writing task. And if you have <a href=\"https:\/\/ielts.magoosh.com\/plans\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a Magoosh IELTS General Training subscription<\/a>, you&#8217;ll be able to watch our video lessons on letter writing, go through extra practice questions, and even get your responses scored.
