GT Writing Task 1 (Letter Writing) Sample # 155
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
You and some of your friends want to start a club, and you have found a place that would be suitable for the club office.
Write a letter to the owner of the place. In your letter,
- mention why you are writing
- say what type of club you are going to start
- ask if it is possible to rent the place and under what terms
Write at least 150 words.
You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Begin your letter as follows:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Model Answer:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter to enquire about a place which we possibly could use as our club office. We are considering this place of yours as a perfect choice for our country club because it is not only located on the outskirt of our town but also has a great landscape with lots of grass on it. Besides, it also has a large enough ground space to have a tennis court as well as a swimming pool where our valuable club members will be able to enjoy some sports and physical activities with their families and friends.
Now, it would be just great if we could simply offer you a price to buy it for our club, but we do not really have such a large amount of cash at the moment. Besides, we also do not think that you are actually willing to sell this place at such a prime location.
So, how about we rent it from you instead? And should you choose to rent it to us, we would be more than happy to talk about the terms and conditions, along with the rental cost.
Yours faithfully,
Carl Thomas
