Local Festivities (Complaint Letter)

In this C1 Writing Worksheet, students practise writing a formal letter of complaint to local authorities. They learn how to structure their arguments coherently, use formal tone and linking devices, and apply C1-level expressions typical of official correspondence.

Key benefits for learners:

• Reinforces formal register through structures such as I am writing to express concern regarding…, I would like to point out that…, and I therefore urge….
  
  

• Expands topic-related vocabulary (e.g., litter, allocate resources, fiscal responsibility).
  
  

• Encourages precision with nominalisations, linking adverbs (therefore, however, while), and advanced collocations (fell short of expectations, restore residents’ trust).
  
  

Improves coherence and tone management, crucial for exam-style writing and real-world professional correspondence.
