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 share a flat and accidentally used your flatmate's expensive shampoo and food shopping several times thinking they were shared items. Write a letter to your flatmate. In your letter: • apologise for using their things • explain the misunderstanding • offer to replace everything and suggest a labelling system
Examiner focus: Small domestic wrong, handled with humour and a system that stops it recurring.
