Writing Task 1: Writing an Email
Time remaining: 27 minutes 00 seconds

It is January, and the heating in your apartment in Saskatoon has not been working properly for ten days. At night the temperature inside drops to about 15°C. You have phoned your landlord twice, but nobody has come to fix it.

Write an email to your landlord, Mr. Fraser in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Describe the problem with the heating.
  • Explain how it is affecting you and your family.
  • Request that the repair be done by a specific date.
