IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Explanation — Health & sport

Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.

You are the captain of a five-a-side football team and must explain to a team-mate why you are dropping him from the starting team. Write a letter to your team-mate. In your letter: • explain the decision kindly • give the sporting reasons • tell him how he can win his place back

Examiner focus: A hard message delivered fairly: reasons honest, route back real.
