To formally or politely ask for something.
“I would like to request a full refund for the defective product.”
“I am writing to request a two-day extension on the assignment deadline.”
Use 'request' in CELPIP Writing Task 1 whenever the prompt asks you to seek a change, favor, or action from the reader, such as requesting a refund or a schedule change. It works as both a verb and a noun, so you can write 'I would like to request' or 'my request is,' giving you flexibility to vary your sentence structure.
Synonyms: ask for, seek, petition for
