IELTS Writing Task 1 question

You live in a neighbourhood with a community hall that can be hired for local events. You and several other residents are hoping to arrange a regular evening activity there, and you have agreed to contact the hall manager. You have not met the manager before, so you need to explain your plans and find out whether the hall would be suitable.

Write a letter to the manager of the community hall. In your letter

• describe the weekly board-game evening you would like to hold and who would take part
• explain why the community hall would be a suitable place for this activity
• ask about available times, hire charges and the facilities provided

You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear Sir or Madam,

Student answer (Band 6.0)

Dear Sir,

I would like to express interest at the community centre for organzing a regular evening activity by me and few other residents. We have decided to plan an evening activity on 15 November at 6 pm. As we are planning to organizing board-game as the participants who will join the event will be society members and few well-known person as a guest, roughly around 60 people will attend the event.

I have attended many family functions that was organzied in the community hall so, I am quite confident that this place will accomodate around 80 people as it is having large spacious hall with basic amenities, stage in the hall area equipped with latest equipments such as projector, speakers around the hall and microphone required for host to communicate with large group of people.

I would like to inquire for the availiblity of time on 15th November in evening and what will be the rental fees. Morever, which amenites will be included in the hire rates.

Yours faithfully,

Anuj Patel

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You cover the three requested points: you describe a board-game evening for residents and guests, explain the hall’s capacity and equipment, and ask about availability, hire fees and included amenities. The purpose is clear, and the details about an expected 60 participants and a projector, speakers and microphone make the proposal relevant. However, the activity itself is only briefly described, and the plan to hold it on 15 November sounds like a one-off booking rather than a regular weekly event. The suitability explanation focuses mainly on space and equipment, without explaining why the location or atmosphere would work well for this group. Clarify the weekly schedule and develop the participants’ needs or the benefits of the venue.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The letter has a clear overall sequence: you introduce the proposal, describe the venue’s suitability, and then ask practical questions. Paragraphing supports this progression, and phrases such as “As we are planning” and “I would like to inquire” help signal the purpose of each section. The main weakness is that some sentences combine several ideas, making the relationships between them less clear. For example, the first paragraph moves from the date and time to the game and then to the participants and attendance in one long sentence. The second paragraph also packs capacity, amenities and equipment together. Separate these details into shorter, more focused sentences and use clearer links to make the letter easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a range of relevant vocabulary for the topic, including “participants,” “rental fees,” “amenities,” “projector” and “microphone.” These choices make the purpose understandable, and the tone is generally appropriate for a formal enquiry. However, several spelling errors and awkward word combinations reduce precision, such as “organzing,” “accomodate,” “availiblity” and “inquire for the availiblity.” Some expressions are also unnatural, including “express interest at the community centre” and “well-known person as a guest.” Aim for accurate spelling and more natural collocations, such as “express my interest in hiring the hall” and “local guests.” This would make your vocabulary more controlled and professional.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a reason clause beginning “As we are planning” and a sentence explaining why the hall is suitable. The overall meaning remains understandable, but some grammatical errors affect clarity and control. For example, “I and few other residents” has an incorrect pronoun order and is missing an article, while “we are planning to organizing” uses the wrong verb form after “to.” In “functions that was organized,” the verb does not agree with the plural noun. The final enquiry is also phrased as a fragment rather than a complete question. Review verb patterns, subject–verb agreement, articles and question formation, and break up long sentences to improve accuracy.
