Writing Task 1W1-30Advanced
150-200 words

Requesting a bus route improvement

The bus that serves your area runs only once an hour and stops at 8 p.m., which makes it hard for shift workers and students.

Write to: The city transit authority · Formal tone

Write an email to the transit authority requesting better service on your route.

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

  • • Identify the route and the current service
  • • Explain who is affected and how
  • • Make two specific requests
  • • Mention community support for the change
