IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Explanation — Life changes
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You have decided to sell your car and use public transport and cycling instead. Write a letter to a friend who is surprised by your decision. In your letter: • explain your reasons • describe how your daily travel works now • respond to their worry that you will regret it
Examiner focus: A lifestyle change defended with daily detail, not slogans.
