IELTS Examiner / Practice Prompt Bank — GT & Academic / Task 1 Letter
IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Formal Business — Money & banking
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
Your bank statement shows a charge of $85 that you do not recognise. Write a letter to your bank. In your letter: • give details of the charge and your account • explain why you believe the charge is wrong • ask the bank to investigate and refund the amount
Examiner focus: Formal register, precise details (date, amount, account), and one clear requested action.
