IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Explanation — Travel
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You cut short a group holiday and came home a week early, and your friends want to know why. Write a letter to your friends. In your letter: • explain why you left early • apologise for any plans it changed • suggest meeting soon to hear about the rest of the trip
Examiner focus: Explaining without oversharing: enough truth to satisfy, privacy kept.
