A letter(1) Dear Sir or Madam, My name is ××× (Candidate No.: ×××). I took part in the IELTS test (General Training) on 19th Mar, 2016 for the purpose of migrating to New Zealand. Bearing the puzzlement of the result, I wish to reassess my test score on writing, speaking and listening. It requires band 6.5 to submit a migration request to New Zealand immigration bureau. The scores I got this time are reading (7.5), writing (6), listen (5) and speaking (6), so final score is 6. Which surprise me most is the writing section, which I think I have also done a good job and would be a higher score. Frankly speaking, if I would be rated with 6.5 for writing section then I will obtain a desirable score. Although this was the first time I participated IELTS test, I have prepared it for six months. Actually I spent 4 hours a day to practice all 4 sections. I’m full-time employed and I need to take care of a 2 years old daughter with my wife together. To me it is really a challenge to ensure learning activities, after fulfill the work assignments, household chores and interaction with my baby. In the past days, for writing section every day I at least practiced one essay that relevant to task 1 or task 2. Particularly, I was greatly benefited from many native-English speakers who are active on some language learning website, such as lang-8.com and italki.com. They gave me numerous guidance on essay structures and grammars. I would believe that I have improved a lot. However, I still got 6 in the writing part and this really made me puzzled and frustrated. One thing I also want to explain is that I might wrote a wrong word ‘stuff’, which should be actually ‘staff’ in the writing task one, I believe it was caused by a time pressure. I can’t forgive myself for this, just asking for your understanding here. -to be continue
