IELTS GT Writing Task 1 - You will move to a new city for work
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
Write at least 150 words.
You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Begin your letter as follows:
Dear ................. ,
I wanted to let you know that I am coming to live in (city) and I would like to ask if you can help me with a few things before I arrive and start my new job.
Do you think you could give me a hand finding somewhere to live? Ideally I would like to live close to where I am going to be working, or in the downtown district. If possible I would like to be near some shops, like a supermarket and a DVD rental place. As I really love sports it would be great to be near a park too.
I’m not too worried about the place itself. Obviously I will be looking for a flat, rather than a house, as it is just going to be me and I won’t be able to afford too much. So, a place with one bedroom is fine, but I would like to have a private bathroom (not shared), a kitchen and some kind of living room. It doesn’t matter if the kitchen is small, but it would nice to have one. I would prefer to live somewhere new, so anything in a modern apartment block would be great.
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely Yours,
Jakiya Islam

As I informed you earlier via email that I will be moving to Saudi Arab for a new job that I got in a Private company. I have arrived yesterday in Riyadh city and will be requiring for help and support to find a suitable accommodation as I have to join the company next week.
I would like to find an accommodation at some distance from my office location which is situated in city center as I don’t like to live in populated area. The location if possible should have a park so that I can spend my free time jogging around.
I would like to live in an apartment or flat because it will be a bit cheaper than banglow which currently I won’t be able to afford. In a building where my apartment will be should have parking as I will be buying a car next month and indoor sports club to play sports during weekend.
I am sure you will help me out to find a good accommodation so that I can settle down quickly.
Best Regards,
