A short sample

Taken from the free preview.

This book helps you respond to the three bullet points with clear purpose, relevant detail, and a tone suited to the recipient. Official IELTS guidance recognises personal, semi-formal, and formal letters. Treat these as useful choices rather than fixed scoring categories: a professional contact may suit either formal or semi-formal wording, depending on the relationship and the situation. See Lesson 02 for a decision process and examples.
