IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Formal Business — Transport

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

You lost a bag containing important work documents on a bus last Friday. Write a letter to the bus company. In your letter: • describe the bag and the journey you took • explain why the documents matter • ask how lost property is handled and how you can check

Examiner focus: Identification detail (route, time, seat area) that makes recovery actually possible.
