Dear Sir or Madam... ....Yours faithfully, Jacky Spear How To Generate Ideas for an Application or Resignation Letter You only have to write 150 words, so you won’t need many ideas but do make sure that you
write about each bullet point and develop each idea fully.
They don't have to be the best ideas you can possibly think of. Go with your first thoughts and
don’t waste time trying to think of better ideas. However, they must relate directly to the bullet
points.
Note them beside each bullet point on the exam paper, like this:
You would like a job working in a summer camp which runs sports and outdoor activities for
children and young people.
Write a letter to the organiser of the summer camp. In your letter:
describe your personality Outgoing, fun-loving, energetic
say what relevant experience and skills you have Scout leader, qualified instructor – kayaking & climbing
explain what sort of work you would like to do. Lead group activities, campfire cooking That’s our planning complete. Once you’ve had some practice, you’ll be able to do this in just a
few minutes. Taking time to plan makes writing IELTS letters far quicker and easier than if you
don’t do this step. You will also write a better letter and get higher marks.
We're now ready to start writing our letter.
Writing the Letter Here’s our plan again with all our notes added in.
