IELTS Examiner / Practice Prompt Bank — GT & Academic / Task 1 Letter
IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Complaint — Transport
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
Buses on your route are regularly late in the morning, and you have been late for work several times this month. Write a letter to the bus company. In your letter: • describe the pattern of delays with examples • explain the effect on your work • suggest one practical improvement
Examiner focus: Pattern evidence (dates and times) instead of one angry anecdote, plus a constructive suggestion.
