IELTS Letter, topic: Complaining about airport services
You have recently flown to another country on a business trip. You were satisfied with the flight, but didn’t like services at the airport. Write a letter to the airport manager and say
– Give your flight details. – Why were you disappointed? – Suggest some improvements to the airport services.
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Diane Norman, and I came through your airport on March 1st. I flew with United Airlines on flight number 145 to Portland, Oregon. I was travelling on business, and found the services offered by the airline splendid across the board.
As for the services provided by the airport, unfortunately, I didn’t experience a similar level of satisfaction. In fact, I was extremely disappointed with them. There were not enough employees to serve travelers. Moreover, the quality of customer service was very poor. The airport workers were unable to answer our questions about the process of online check in, or deal with minor requests, such as informing tourists about locations of restrooms and stores. Another issue that we struggled with was the slow internet connection with intermittent drop outs.
Considering the problems we encountered, I would like to suggest some possible solutions. Hiring more staff, and giving them training on everything they need to know about the airport, and also how to treat customers in a courteous way, would help improve our airport experience. With regard to internet connection, I would recommend a more reliable internet provider.
Thank you for taking time to read my letter, and I hope this information helps improve airport services in the nearest future.
Faithfully yours,
Diane Norman
This letter covers the task including all the bullet points and presents a well-developed response. Ideas flow naturally and paragraphing helps to organise the information. The vocabulary is adequate for the purpose of this letter and the level of formality is appropriate. Overall this letter seems to be worthy of IELTS Band 8.

IELTS essay, topic: Nowadays people waste a lot of food, why is this happening and how to reduce waste?
Nowadays people waste a lot of food that was bought from shops and restaurants. Why do you think people waste food? What can be done to reduce the amount of food they throw away?
At the time when famines heavily strike impoverished third world countries, many people living in wealthy countries waste tremendous amounts of food daily. In my opinion, understanding the probable reasons of this phenomenon is important and may lead us to some applicable solutions that will result in reducing food waste.
The low cost of food seems to be one of the obvious reasons, exacerbating the problem. Due to the revolutionary technological achievements, people have increased both the quality and the quantity of their crops. In turn, according to the laws of supply and demand, the prices of the crops have immensely dropped. A recent study of the FAO stated that the global crops prices have dropped 50 per cent over the last decade. This enabled people to buy excessive amounts of food without a real need.
Furthermore, the absence of strict regulations to discourage or punish this attitude can also be considered a major cause. Not everyone is aware that wasting food may create problems. Consequently, they are likely to resist any calls for controlling the consumption of dietary supplies unless they are forced by the power of law. Several countries in the world saw a drop in their national food waste after implementing a ban on the excessive purchasing of food.
Fortunately, there are some possible approaches that can be adopted by both people and governments. Firstly, raising the awareness of this issue is immensely important. Using social media platforms can draw public attention to the potential dangers of food waste and how communities can confront it. Secondly, enforcing laws that prohibit the wasting of food by people and companies will deter such harmful practice.
In conclusion, the decreased price of food as well as lack of regulations allowed the unfortunate trend of throwing away food to continue. I believe that creating awareness and legislation are parts of a straightforward solution to this issue.
The writer explored the reasons for throwing away food and suggested some solutions, effortlessly conveying his/her ideas in this well-written IELTS essay. The information is presented in an orderly, logical and coherent way. A wide range of vocabulary is used in this written response. The sentence structures are varied and the vocabulary is impressive. Overall, this essay could achieve IELTS Band 8.

IELTS Report, topic: Table describing number of students studying foreign languages (from Target Band 7 book)
This report was written on a topic from “Target Band 7” book (page 44, reprinted with permission).
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task
The table below describes the number of students studying foreign languages in SomeCountry in 2000-2005.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown.
Write at least 150 words
The table presents the numbers of students who learned 5 different foreign languages in SomeCountry from 2000 to 2005. It can be clearly seen that the largest number of students studied Spanish, and their numbers rose throughout the entire period the table describes.
The most popular languages were Spanish, German and French, of which Spanish language was the most popular, starting from 1889 students in 2000 and gradually increasing to 2453 in 2005. At the same time, students who learned German and French were around 1811 and 896 in 2000, respectively, and both groups experienced some fluctuation, eventually dropping their numbers to 1121 and 687 respectively in 2005.
Russian and Japanese languages were learned by the smallest number of students, and that didn’t change over the period. The number of Russian students started at 20 in 2000, rising insignificantly to 26 students by 2005. Similarly, Japanese was studied by 32 students in 2000 and that figure increased slightly to 35 in 2005.
Overall, it can be seen that while the most popular language increased in popularity, the second and third popular languages lost a considerable number of students between 2000 and 2005.

IELTS essay, topic: Some parents encourage young people to leave home while others think they should stay with the family, discuss and give your opinion
Many parents encourage young people to leave home when they become older, while others think they should stay at home with the family. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
With the tremendous influence of modernisation, remarkable changes have taken place in the family structure to such an extent that nowadays, youngsters are motivated by their parents to live alone as they grow up. However, some people are of the view that it is more practical for a youngster to live with their family.
On the one hand, there are many positive aspects to youths living away from their parents at young age. This provides the opportunity to young people to live a life on their own terms and make any decisions without the interference of their parents. Besides, living alone not only makes them independent but also makes them self-reliant, which is a crucial life skill to their successful career. For instance, managing all the house chores such as cleaning, paying bills, cooking and so on will make them well experienced at learning and managing diverse activities and will also boost their confidence.
On the other hand, there is no denying the fact that youngsters living away from their family may find themselves in circumstances that may adversely affect their life. Naïve and inexperienced young people in the absence of parental supervision are more likely to fall prey to bad influence and dangerous activities, such as drugs or alcohol consumption, which may jeopardise their career or lead them astray from moral values. However, this situation is less likely to take place with youngsters still living with their parents. Besides, emotional bonding and family relationships can be maintained better if everyone is living together under one roof.
In my opinion, although encouraging youngsters to live alone may lead them to learn various life skills, negative aspects and risks associated with living alone can far outweigh the benefits.
This response covers the task topic well, by discussing the positive and negative aspects of living alone as a young adult, and the writer’s opinion has also been included. Paragraphing helps to present ideas in an orderly way, and cohesion and coherence are maintained throughout the essay. There is some repetitive use of the word ‘make’ in the first body paragraph, which could have been avoided. Apart from that, the writer’s vocabulary seems to be quite rich and allows them to communicate ideas precisely and clearly. Overall, this essay seems to be worthy of IELTS Band 8.

IELTS Report, topic: Table describing data on home schooled children (from Target Band 7 book)
This report was written on a topic from “Target Band 7” book (page 44, reprinted with permission).
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task
The table below describes the percentages of home schooled students in SomeCountry in 1999-2004.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown.
Write at least 150 words
The table illustrates the proportion of students who were given home schooling in SomeCountry in the period from 1999 to 2004.
From the very start of the period, kindergarten students were home schooled the most and their proportion remained the highest until 2004. Students in grades 1-2 and 5-6 were the least home tutored in 1999 and the figures fluctuated over the period; by the end of 2004 those in grades 1-2 constituted the lowest percentage.
A noticeable trend in home schooled kindergarten students was evident, where their proportion rose steadily from 2.4% to nearly 3% between 1999 and 2004. Similarly, in grade 3-4 also showed a steady upward movement and the rate rose from 1.6% in 1999 to 2.2% by 2004.
Students in the other three grade levels showed some fluctuation between 1999 to 2004. The percentage of home schooled students in grades 1-2 was at 1.5% at the start and dipped to 1.2% in 2000. Afterwards, the figures increased and reached well above 2% in 2004. The proportion of home schooled 5th and 6th graders initially started at 1.5%, then remained constant at 1.3% before finally reaching 3% in 2004. Students in 7th and 8th grade were home schooled at a rate of 1.6% in 1999 which remained steady until 2001, and following that climbed up to 2.5% at the end of the period.
Overall, the proportion of home schooled students at all grade levels in 2004 was higher compared to 1999.
