Writing Task 1W1-07Intermediate
150-200 words

Making a suggestion to your city council

The park near your home has no shade and no drinking fountain. Many families use it in summer and you think small improvements would help.

Write to: Your city councillor · Formal tone

Write an email to your city councillor suggesting improvements to the park.

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

  • • Say which park you are writing about and how often it is used
  • • Describe the problem
  • • Suggest two specific improvements
  • • Explain how the community would benefit
