IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Explanation — Culture
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You have chosen to learn the piano as an adult, and a friend thinks it is a waste of money. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: • explain why you started • describe what practising is really like • invite them to your first small recital
Examiner focus: Defending a personal choice with experience, ending in an invitation rather than an argument.
