IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Apology — Health & fitness
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You booked a doubles tennis court with your partner but arrived 40 minutes late, so you only played for twenty minutes. Write a letter to your tennis partner. In your letter: • apologise for being late • explain the reason honestly • offer to book and pay for the next two sessions
Examiner focus: A sporting apology with compensation in kind: their lost court time repaid double.
