- Invite him/her to a public event in your country.

- Describe the public event.

- Explain about other plans you have for your friend.

Hi John,

How have you been since we last met?

I though I'd drop you a line and see if you fancy coming over for Moon Festival which is on September 2nd.

Moon Festival is the second most important festival after the Lunar New Year. It is a traditional event celebrating re-union for family members and friends. On the day, we will visit some local shrines and pray for health and wellness. At night, there will be many celebration activities such as Lion dance, lightning paper lanterns, eating mooncakes. You may also attend cooking show where you can make your own mooncake which I'm sure you'll love.

While you're over, we'll be able to do a trip to Nha Trang City as I know you've always wanted to visit. It would be your great escape from the cold in England, and you can enjoy yourself lying on the sunny beach, riding jetski and going scuba diving. You'll also be able to taste various searfoods and many Nha Trang authentic cuisines.

I really hope you'll be able to come over. It won't be the same without you.

Write back soon,

Anh 

IETLS Writing Task 1 GT - Complaint Letter #1

Write a letter to the company and in you letter:

1. Introduce yourself

2. Explain the problem

3. And state what action you would like from the company.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to report the faulty TV that I purchased from your company on Tuesday last week.

My name is Anh Hong, and I am one of you loyal customers. I live in district 8 and have been using your services and buying your products for the last 10 years.

On Tuesday, 12th June, I visited your store to purchase a TV. I bought a Sony LED TV with serial ALFJJALD. On purchasing this TV, I was assured that this was the latest model and the best there was to buy. However, when I got home I discovered that not only did the remote control not work but also the picture quality was not as good as promised, in fact it was quite blurry. I called your customer service hotline immediately on the same day, and they assured me to send a replacement within two days. I am disappointed to say that this has not happened, and I have received no communication since then.

I am truly displeased  with both the product quality as well as the poor service that I have received. I hope the problem will be resolved prompty. I expect to receive a replacement TV or have the current one repaired but only if it could be fixed within one day.

I look forward to hearing back from you immediately. 

Yours faithfully,

Anh Hong

IELTS Writing Task 1 GT - Formal Apology #1

 Write a letter to your boss apologising for the meeting you missed at work

1. Apologise for missing the meeting.

2. Explain what happened.

3. Say what you will go to compensate.

Dear Mr Donald,

I am writing to apologise for the meeting that I missed on December 1st about upcoming year annual budget plan.

I am sincerely sorry for not being able to attend this meeting. I am aware the importance of the meeting but, unfortunately, my absence was unavoidable.

The reason for not attending this meeting was that I had a car accident on the way to work that day. Although the accident was not serious, I was taken to the local hospital for a check up, and not allowed to leave until I had been given the all clear from a doctor.

I understand how crucial this meeting was and, therefore, I have asked one of my colleagues, Ms Sandra Brown, to review the meeting after work today. We will go over all the budget plan, and also assess the expenditure plans from the related departments. By the end of today, I will be up to speed with all plans.

I hope you will forgive my absence, and be assured of my commitment to this company and its future.

Your sincerely,

Anh Hong

IELTS Writing Task 1 GT - Informal Apology letter #1

 Write a letter to a friend. You have borrowed something from your friend and it got damaged.

1. Apologize for damaging the product.

2. Explain what happened.

3. Say how are you going to fix the issue.

Dear Emily

Sorry it's taken me so long to write to you but at last I put my pen to paper to explain why I haven't returned the MasterChef Cooking book I borrowed from you.

To be honest, I've been feeling so guilty that I delayed writing to you. I have to own up that I damaged the book accidentally. I'm so very sorry. I know how important that book is to you as it was a birthday gift from your late father.

What happened is that I had been reading up on the chapter about cooking chicken when I knocked over my cup of coffee which splashed all over the book. Most of the stain is on the pages that were open at the time.

I've sent the book away to be repaired. I didn't realize that was even possible until I researched it from the Internet. Anyway, it should be as good as new when I get it back next week, and then I'll send it on to you.

Again, I'm so sorry for the delay in telling you. I hope you can forgive me.

Best wishes

Hi John,

Sorry it's taken me so long to write to you but at last I put up my pen to paper to explain why I haven't returned the Sony DVD Player that I borrowed from you.

To be honest, I've been feeling so guilty that I delayed writing to you. I have to own up that I damaged the device accidentally. I'm so very sorry. I know how important that player is to you as it was your father's gift.

What happened is that I had been listening my daily disc when I knocked over my cup of coffee which splashed over the device. I tried cleaning all the liquid and dried up the equipment as quickly as I could, but the DVD player was broken eventually.

I've contact the local supplier to purchase any available items, and luckily they are able to ship one to me next week. Once I receive the product, I will send it on to you.

Again, I'm so sorry for the delay in telling you. Hope you can forgive me.

Best wishes
