ANSWER: 169 words
This is an answer was written by one of my students during in class practice.
I used her country of origin rather than her family name.
Her real IELTS exam score for writing was 7.0
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing in regards to the volunteer work at the hospital and I would like to use my free time to help others.
The main reason that I would like to do this unpaid work is because I am studying to be a nurse and I believe this experience will help me to understand how to deal with patients and their families.
Apart from all my knowledge in nursing, I can help with some extra activities such as singing and playing guitar. I have been doing these activities over the last two years as a volunteer as well and it is a wonderful way to encourage and give hope to all those who are at the hospital for some reason.
Moreover, I am on holidays at the moment, so I am available every day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. When my classes return, I will be available to work on Saturdays.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Tayla Brazil.
