IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Apology — Culture
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You borrowed a rare vinyl record from a friend and your child scratched it. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: • apologise for the scratch • explain how it happened • say that you are looking for a replacement and will pay for it
Examiner focus: Valuing what the item means to the owner, with the replacement search already under way.
