Sample 1 You Have a Pen Pal, and You Are Writing Your First Letter to That Pen Pal: GT Writing Task 1

Dear John,

Hello! I hope my letter finds you in radiant health and good spirit. As I am writing to you for the first time, I am quite excited to share things about myself.

First of all, I would like to talk about my educational background. After my schooling, I attained a post-graduate degree in literature. Then I decided to continue it by doing masters in this field. I have had a great interest in literature since I was a sophomore student, and at the moment, I am a professor in college.

Furthermore, when discussing my interests or hobbies, I am really into reading books and writing short stories on my own. I have already sent a few stories to the newspaper for publication. Also, I love to spend my leisure time effectively managing my home.

Eventually, I think we should meet each other in person to strengthen our bond. So, you will receive my address along with my letter and send me yours next time. We will fix a time and date to catch up together.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Yours lovingly,

Dear Guri,

How are you? Being it our first conversation via letter. I am equally excited and nervous. I hope you will enjoy my company via it.

Let me tell you that I’ve done my Masters in psychology and now pursuing my doctorate in it. You’ll be glad to know that recently I’ve been appointed as a lecturer in a college. Now I can say that I’ve found my niche.

Furthermore, I am a sports lover. I love to play football and badminton, and suffice it to say that adventurous sports allure me to participate. In addition, being a philanthropist, I love working with an NGO known as the Rotary club at weekends. These days, I remain mostly free; therefore, I consider exploring my past life. It will add a new feather to my cap, and in this way, I will be able to know human psychology.

You will be thrilled to know I am planning to meet you at your place. It will be a gala day for us, and we will talk a lot and go to your favourite restaurant to dine out.

Hoping to see you soon!

Yours loving,
