Full Sample Response Version 3
The given maps illustrate the town of Charmington as it
was in 1995 and proposed changes for the year 2025. Overall,
it appears that by 2025, the town will become more residential
with leisure facilities such as a boat club and shopping mall
planned at the expense of natural features.
In 1995, the northwestern part of the town was
dominated by forest and marshlands, with holiday cottages
built along a small street. A hotel was also situated at the
southern intersection of two streets. In 2025 however, the
forest will be replaced by a natural reserve, and several rows
of residential housing will take the place of the marshland and
holiday cottages. There are no proposed changes to the hotel.
Meanwhile, the eastern part of Charmington will
change considerably too. A retirement village will be
constructed by the side of a new boat club located along the
river. To the south, the tea room and sand dunes will be
replaced by a restaurant and shopping center, respectively.
Finally, the East Bank will experience development in the
form of lake-facing holiday cottages.

We will examine the formal letter tasks in the IELTS General
Training exam in this section.
Firstly, we will practice identifying key information in the
question. Next, we will suggest ways to organise formal letters, and
then we will look at the kind of language you should be using.
Finally, we practice functional language, grammar, and vocabulary,
which are essential and will help you gain lots of marks in the exam.
We will examine two formal letter and email types: the letter
of reference and the application letter. These aren't the only types of
standard letter or email you might be asked to write about in the
exam, but they will serve as perfect examples here.
