IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Apology — Home & neighbourhood
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
Your dog escaped from your garden last week and dug up several plants in your neighbour's garden. Write a letter to your neighbour. In your letter: • apologise for the damage • explain how the dog got out • offer to repair the damage or pay for the plants
Examiner focus: Responsibility for a pet, a fixed fence, and a concrete offer to put things right.
