IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Apology — Housing & money
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You rent a room in a shared house and your rent payment this month will be ten days late. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter: • apologise for the late payment • explain the reason for the delay • say exactly when the rent will be paid and how you will avoid this happening again
Examiner focus: Own the delay, give the reason briefly, and commit to an exact payment date.
