IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Explanation — Life changes
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
An old friend has heard that you recently moved to a different city and wants to know more. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: • explain why you decided to move • describe your new city and how your life has changed • invite your friend to visit you there
Examiner focus: A clear cause-and-effect story of the move, with honest detail about what changed.
