IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Complaint — Travel
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
Your train journey last week was delayed by four hours and you missed an important appointment. Write a letter to the train company. In your letter: • describe your journey and the delay • explain what the delay caused you to miss • say what compensation you expect
Examiner focus: A documented claim: times, consequences, and a compensation request with a basis.
