CELPIP Writing Task 1 Sample Answer: Carpool Coordination

Dear Jamie, I hope all is well. To streamline our commute, I propose launching a weekly carpool beginning Monday, July 1. I’d pick you up at 7:25 AM at Elm St. & Pine Rd., then swing by Mark’s near the mall at 7:40 AM. Sarah’s SUV comfortably seats five, and my hatchback holds four—ample capacity for our group. Would you be comfortable with this arrangement, or would you prefer an earlier or alternate pickup point? Additionally, I suggest we rotate driving duties to share the load; I’m happy to drive Mondays and Thursdays. Please let me know if you’d like any adjustments or if this plan meets your needs. Looking forward to a smoother, greener commute together! Best regards, [Your Name]

Dear Jamie, I hope you’re well. I’d like to organize our carpool starting Monday. I can swing by your place at 7:25 AM (Corner of Elm St. and Pine Rd.) and Sarah can pick up Mark at 7:40 AM near the mall. We have two vehicles: my hatchback (4 seats) and Sarah’s SUV (5 seats). Could you confirm whether this schedule suits you, or suggest any tweaks? Also, let me know if you’d like to rotate driving duties—I'm happy to drive twice a week. Looking forward to your thoughts! Best, [Your Name]

Dear Jamie, I hope you’re doing well. I want to start a carpool to the office from next Monday. I can pick you up at 7:30 AM at the corner of Maple St. and 2nd Ave. Sarah and Mark also want to join. We have two cars: mine (5-seater) and Sarah’s (4-seater). Please let me know if the time and place work for you or if you need a different spot. I don’t mind driving one day and riding another day if that helps. Thanks, and let me know soon. Warm regards, [Your Name]
