IELTS | COMPLAINT LETTER | Write a letter to the airport manager, about a flight that you missed for your business trip because of problem that occurred at the airport.

Write a letter to the airport manager, about a flight that you missed for your business trip because of problem that occurred at the airport. Please explain in your letter

• what was the problem ?
• what happened as a result of the missed flight?
• what would you like him/her to do about it?

Dear sir,

My name is Nisha Garg. I am writing this letter to apprise you an incident of gross mismanagement by the airport staff members which lead to many passengers missing an indispensable flight to Bangalore on 16th of May.

Due to an utter confusion among your subordinates, a few passenger's luggage(including mine) was boarded into another domestic flight to Bombay. By the time we received our baggage, the plane to Bangalore had already taken off. Intense altercation with the airport staffs ensued for adjusting us in another flight but to no avail.

Consequently, I missed an inevitable business meeting with our client which was to take place the next morning. Because there was no other flight scheduled to Bangalore in the next 24 hours, I could not reach Bangalore on time. This has costed our company dearly in terms of revenue and the business loss.

Writing on behalf of all the fellow passengers who are livid, I would like you to take stringent action against the irresponsible employees. Furthermore, all the passengers who missed this flight should be reimbursed by the airport authority.

Looking forward to seeing some serious actions being taken against this untoward incident.

Yours faithfully,
Nisha Garg

Dear John,

Hope you're doing well. You'll be exalted to know that I m getting married on 4th July and you're cordially invited to attend the marriage cultural ceremonies.

You might not be surprised to know who I'll be marrying. Yes, it is Meera, my long time girlfriend and your classmate since our college days in New Jersey. If you weren't there, I wouldn't have ever met such a lovely person with whom I'll be tying the knot in a couple of weeks.

On my wedding day, morning would start with haldi ceremony, which is an age-old Indian custom. In the afternoon, lunch would be served with desserts. Later in the evening, sehra Bandhi will be followed by wedding processions in Indian style.

As I would be busy, I want you to take care of the arrangements. Additionally, you being my closest buddy, I want you to be my best man. Therefore, don't even think about giving my big day a miss, as your presence is indispensable.

Hoping to seeing you coming a day before the wedding so that we can have a chat over a beer.

Yours lovingly.
Mack

LESS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN FAMILY MEMBERS II IELTS WRITING SAMPLES II IELTS WRITING TIPS

some people say now there is less communication between the family members than in the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Sample Answer (Band 9.0)

Interaction has been the prime factor of socialization for ages. However, of late, it has been hugely influenced by technological advancements. So, compared with the past, social interaction is becoming increasingly fierce. Hence, the importance of bonds of kinship is gradually fading from people’s minds. In my opinion, the world has become a global village yet in many sense it has grown apart.

Apparently, the family ties are becoming  weaker. There are several reasons behind this unfortunate development. The most important, of course, is the change in our lifestyle, values, and goals. Owing to huge educational burden, intense competition, and 24/7 work commitments especially in developing countries  has put a huge pressure on young generation leaving a little room for them to spend time with family members and enjoy on family occasions.

Secondly, the blurring line between real and virtual life such as easy access to social media, internet browsing,  various applications and games on mobile itself engage youth and capture major chunk of the day. As per a survey conducted by American Youth Association, the millennial prefer to spend 80% of their idle time on internet and a meager of 5 % of their time with family. Thirdly, people are increasingly moving to another city or country in search of better education, jobs or living standards. They leave their family behind. While it is possible to keep in touch through modern communication means, an email or phone calls is not equal to face-to-face interaction. Lastly, we are living in the age of individualism. Everyone needs their space. This has made us more self-centered than our parents or grandparents. We no longer believe in making adjustments or compromises. We want everything our way. This attitude creates strain in our relationships.

 Overall, with the hustle and bustle of our lives and the maddening rush of proving oneself, most people have lost the daily connect with family members. But we must realise that our biggest strength is our family. Relationships are like potted plants. We need to nourish them. If we don’t give them love and affection they need, they will wilt.
