IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Complaint — Home & appliances

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

You bought a washing machine from a local shop three months ago. It has broken down twice and the shop's repairs have not fixed it. Write a letter to the shop manager. In your letter: • describe the problem with the machine • explain what has happened when you asked for repairs • say what you would like the shop to do now

Examiner focus: Firm, factual complaint: a clear problem history and one specific remedy requested.
