Hi Simon,
No questions about it! Perfect!
Honestly, I don't think I can write as fluency as you always do in writing. Some non-native speakers may take advantage of wide range of vocabularies but fluency and easy to read are something that one can achieve when he/she lives in English countries.

I'm glad you liked my answer. I think it contains some useful vocabulary, even for people who aren't doing the general test.

Hannah,
I'll have a look for a question like that.

Hi Dawood,
This happens sometimes, so don't worry. At least you know that your score will be very accurate (because your test papers are being checked very carefully).

Hi Simon
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your awesome website,especially the Writing sections. I recently took IELTS on 16 Aug and nailed it! And This is the first time I took the test -Overall 8.0 L8.5 R9.0 W7.5 S7.0
I am very happy with my results and I feel more confident to use English now as I feel like that my excellent English ability has been officially proven.
Before the test, I only took some time to prepare for Writing, which was basically going through your General Writing section and Writing Task 2 section and I have benefited a lot from it!
I really appreciate your writing resources on the website and I wish you all the best!
Regards,
Danrui.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am writing to your good office to bring the issue of the road maintenance near at our House in South West Avenue.
I am Lhey Lean a concern residence and I had been living for almost a decade in this town and so far this is my first time I encountered an issue with regards of road maintenance.
Apparently, theirs a huge hole in the left corner near in our house. This hole can be cause accident in our children, motorist and aside from that when its raining the water smell stinky and we felt bad that this gonna be a big problem in our health.
I Have called several times to your office to report this situation but until now we didn't received any feedback nor assurance that when they are going to fix this problem. Hopefully by this time they gonna get full attention and treated as a priority by the road maintenance department.
Thank you and I look forward to resolve the problem.
Yours Faithfully
lhey Lean
can anyone check my letter hmmm so worried also about my english im going to take ielts on nov 1

Simon, nice one! Thank you!
Can you please explain why:
"I look forward to the problem being resolved" but not
"I look forward to the problem to be resolved"?
"Being" leads me to believe (Pr. Continuous) that it is in progress, however, I came to conclusion, that they haven't started fixing the pothole yet?
Thanks,
Ivan

Hi Simon,
I have a question regarding to the introduction of the letter.
Should the phrase "bring to your attention a road maintenance issue" be changed to "bring a road maintenance issue to your attention" as the idiom structure is "bring someone or something to someone's attention"?
Thank you,
