Writing Task 1W1-28Advanced

Suggesting a change at work

Your team wastes time every Monday in a long status meeting. You have an idea for a shorter, more useful format.

Write to: Your team leader · Semi-formal tone

Write an email to your team leader suggesting a change to the weekly meeting.

Write an email of 150-200 words. Read the situation, then write to the person named. Cover every required point, keep the tone appropriate, and organise your email into short paragraphs. You have 27 minutes for both writing tasks in the real test; aim for about 15 minutes here.

You must include

  • • Describe the current situation neutrally
  • • Explain the problem with it
  • • Suggest a specific alternative
  • • Offer to trial the new format
