IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Complaint — Travel

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

You booked a guided tour on holiday, but the guide did not speak the language promised and the tour finished two hours early. Write a letter to the tour company. In your letter: • describe what was promised in the advertisement • explain what actually happened on the tour • ask for a partial refund

Examiner focus: Advertisement versus experience, item by item, ending in a proportionate refund claim.
