IELTS Examiner / Practice Prompt Bank — GT & Academic / Task 1 Letter
IELTS GT Task 1 Letter: Formal Business — Money & insurance
Original practice prompt written in exam style — not a real exam question, and not a prediction.
You recently made a claim on your home insurance after a water leak, but you have heard nothing for three weeks. Write a letter to the insurance company. In your letter: • give your claim reference and the date you submitted it • describe the damage the claim covers • ask for an update and a timescale for a decision
Examiner focus: Reference numbers and dates up front; a calm request for a decision timescale.
