The Letter Writing task in the IELTS Writing Module can be difficult for many IELTS Aspirants who are not used to writing long-form English language text. Thus, it is vital that you polish your letter-writing skills before attempting the IELTS.

Write a letter to the hostel super.
Write at least 150 words. You should spend no more than 20 minutes on this task.
In your letter,
- introduce yourself
- describe the problems
- explain what type of room you would prefer
Sample Answer
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you in request to change my current hostel accommodation. I am facing certain issues in the room I am residing in and would like to shift to a different room.
My name is Shreya Basu, and I am a second-year business management student in your college. My current room number is D-14, and I have been residing in this hostel since my first year at this college. To begin with, the room was already quite congested when I moved in with my essentials, but ever since I was allotted a roommate, the living space has become negligible. Also, due to the presence of only one window, the room lacks proper ventilation, which feels suffocating at times.
I kindly request you to consider my appeal and allow me a new room that is fit to reside in with all my necessary belongings and has a reasonable amount of space and ventilation.
Yours Faithfully,
Shreya Basu
