IELTS Sample Essays
Dear professor Moss:

I am Sandy Lee, an undergraduate student of the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. At the beginning of this semester, I registered one of your courses, African Literature and Culture. It is a two-hour course held on every Thursday afternoon. Yesterday, I received a notice from my department that a major course, Computer Principle, would be changed to Thursday afternoon. This major course conspicuously influences my credits and it is every important to me. Unfortunately, I can not study your course this semester.

Because of your reputation and my enthusiasm in literature, I hope I could study this course in next semester. I also heard that another course of yours, China Literature, is held every Friday afternoon. If the registration of this course hasn't closed yet, I will be so glad to participate in your class.

Sorry to bother you, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely yours,

Sandy Lee


2. LETTER - AS A RESTAURANT WORKER, MAKE SUGGESTIONS TO THE RESTAURANT

Dear General Manager,

As a staff of Sales Department, I'm very glad to see the rapid development of our hotel. With the coming of New Year, I am writing to you to pre I think more on the further improvement of our hotel¡ªto establish a website of our own to attract more clients.

Firstly, with the development of Internet, more and more people are willing to go to the outside world through the information on Internet. Thus if we could establish our own website and introduce ourselves on it, more friends, especially foreign friends, could know our latest promotion at home whenever they want. Secondly, according to the statistics of World Hotel Association, 33% of clients made hotel reservation through the Internet last year. And the proportion will largely increase in year 2000. Thus if we could introduce reservation system on our homepage, clients could contact us and make reservation directly. Finally, hotel promotion on Internet could reduce our operation cost greatly.

As someone says that Internet shorten the distance of the world, I believe that the one who could make use of Internet effectively today will be the winner tomorrow. We will get a lot and have a brilliant future.

Yours sincerely,

Livia Lim

3. TO IMPROVE TRANSPORTATION BY BUILDING MORE ROADS USING TAX PAYER'S MONEY

To construct and maintain roads is a public service administered by the government. However, where does the money come from? Somebody believe that the government should allocate money from national finance on the road
construction; but others think that the roads are constructed for people, so every tax-payer has the responsibility for constructing and maintaining the roads. It is so called ¡°What is taken from the people is used in the interests of the people.¡±

To the first opinion, since government is the administrative organ, it has responsibility to do overall plan on those public services of city construction, including constructing the road. They think that the government
should do plan and allocate every penny on all things concerning people's life.

However in reality, the government cannot do all specific plans and money allocations on every detail concerning the society running. It only has the right of macro-adjustment and control. To be specific on the road construction, many people believe that based on the principle above, since the road is constructed for the convenience of people themselves, every tax-payer has duty to devote a little on the road construction, which is not only for the city overall plan, but also for their own use fundamentally. Once the constructions
finish, the roads will be wider and longer, the facilities along the roads will be better in use, by then people could further improve their working efficiency, etc..

As I know, the second opinion is more reasonable and feasible, because it has two advantages: 1. The government could reduce heavy burdens, simplify and make clear the usage of money; 2. Tax-payers are clear about the usage of money they turn over, thus improve the transparency. Therefore, it is a good measure for both sides to allocate money from the tax paid by people on the road construction.

In 01/01/2000, I took flight CA983 from Beijing to Los Angeles. When the flight arrived at Los Angeles, because of my carelessness, I left my handbag, a black leathered bag, on my seat.

5. SOMEBODY HAS DONATED CONSIDERABLE MONEY; WRITE TO SCHOOL ABOUT HOW TO USE IT

Dear President, November 11, 1999

I 'm very happy to hear that a famous author has donated considerable money to our institute. And I think we could use it to establish an education fund to aid our teachers to study abroad.

Firstly, teachers could increase their teaching level and enrich their knowledge by studying aboard. For teachers of a language institute, this kind of experience is really necessary. Teachers would consider that as a kind of prize and therefore work harder for that. Secondly, our institute could be benefited from doing that. Since we could provide the overseas-studying chance for our teachers, graduates with high score in the Normal Colleges are more willing to come to our institute. Thirdly, that will help our students. Our last year's survey showed that 65% of our students prefer the language teachers who had overseas-studying experience.

In a word, I think that using the donated fund to assist our teachers to study abroad is a good way to promote the healthy development of our institute.
Please take good consideration of my advice. Thanks!

Yours sincerely,

Livia Liu


6. PRAISE A RESTAURANT FOR THE QUALITY OF THEIR FOOD AND THE IMPROVED MENU

Dear Manager:

I am a reporter from the News Weekend. Because of the demand of my work, I often come to Beijing to do interviews. Your hotel is my favorite, because of the comfortable living conditions, and the considerate service, especially your excellent food.

The restaurants in your hotel have many kinds of delicious food such as Chinese food, Japanese food, French food and so on. Among these delicious foods, I like the Beijing Toast Duck best, not only because of its Chinese characteristics but also its special taste for people from all over the world. So every time I come here I always choose this course.

Furthermore, what impressed me most is the high quality service, it always makes me feel at home. Waiters and waitresses are so kind and warmhearted that they always earnestly recommend every new or special food of the restaurant. I will recommend your hotel and restaurant to my friends without any reservation and hesitation.

Hope your hotel and restaurant will be more prosperous in the future.

Sincerely yours,

Will Smith
