IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Apology — Work

Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.

You missed an important team meeting yesterday because you wrote down the wrong time. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter: • apologise for missing the meeting • explain how the mistake happened • say how you will catch up on what was discussed

Examiner focus: Owning a simple mistake cleanly, then showing the recovery plan.
